Camel Safari – Scenic and Authentic

One of the tour’s standout features is the camel ride through the desert.

Many reviewers, such as Alexandra, loved this part, calling it “a great time in Pushkar” and praising the scenic ride.

While a jeep option is available at extra cost, most guests find the camel experience sufficient for a taste of Rajasthan’s desert culture. Keep in mind that the ride is set, so if you’re expecting a longer or more adventurous safari, this might not fully satisfy those desires.

Ascending to Savitri Mata Mandir

In the evening, a cable car takes you up to Savitri Mata Mandir atop Ratnagiri Hill. The views from the top are often described as spectacular, offering panoramic scenes of the city and lake—perfect for photos and quiet reflection.
