You are assisted with your check-out from your hotel after breakfast and then you are driven to Pushkar. Arrive at Pushkar around noon and there is a break for lunch after which you are assisted with check-in at your upscale desert lodge, located next to a tiny village very near Pushkar. This is the most upscale lodging in the region and all 3 meals are included here while you are at Pushkar.

Afternoon – Walk through the Fair camp grounds with your guide to experience the cattle trading and everything else that goes on at this massive fair. The trading activity is at its peak during this part of the fair and you will experience rural Rajasthan as one can only do during this massive cattle fair – photo and video opportunities are endless. Thousands of camels, horses, and other cattle will be traded within a few days. The cattle are groomed and decorated, their skills and strengths are demonstrated in various ways, and there is intense haggling. A plethora of street vendors are mixed in with all this activity, selling food to the villagers and fodder for the various cattle.

At the end of the day the trading ceases and the thousands of villagers settle down to discuss the day’s exploits, and to prepare for their evening meal. At this time, as the sun sets in the desert, you will return to your resort.
