👨👩👧 Family: easy family base — Pushkar Lake is peaceful
The only Brahma temple in India, a holy lake older than recorded history, and a camel fair that defies description.
Pushkar is tiny, holy, and weird in the best way. One of very few Brahma temples in the world. The lake is sacred. The November Camel Fair is one of the world largest livestock gatherings turned into a cultural festival.
