Introduction

Pushkar is a small town, perfect to cover on a bicycle. Tourists looking for an adventure can explore this city simply by hiring a bicycle and taking it around town. Instead of undertaking the task of cycling alone, tourists should move about in a group. For safety reasons a tour should ideally have a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 8 tourists. That way you are enough people to look out for each other and not too many that you lose track. Led by a local guide, these tours take you around the important temples and landmarks of the city.

Cycle tours can be customized for your preference. You can take a tour that last a few hours and takes you to the popular points or engage for the entire day and take the time to explore the hidden treasures of Pushkar. A tour within Pushkar is always readily available. Some of major sights that might be covered in the tour are the Pushkar Lake, Brahma Temple, Savitri Temple and Varah Temple. Other religious sights can be included, depending upon what the tourist wants to see and experience. If one is willing and adventurous enough, a tour can be organized covering the major cities of Rajasthan lasting a few days! Tours from Pushkar to Jaipur are very popular among tourists.

Cycling around the hot city can be exhausting, thus the ideal time to go for a cycle tour is either early morning or evening. Tourists are also advised to carry sufficient amounts of water. Food might not be required as the tour will, for certain, include a stop at a local restaurant. Tourists are also advised to dress comfortably, however appropriately since the tour would include religious sites.

The ideal time to visit Pushkar and participate in a cycle tour is during the months of October and November when the camel fair is organized. The town is completely transformed from being a religious conservative destination to a buzzing hub of local trade and culture, a town decked in different colors. A cycle tour at this time would be truly unforgettable.
