Overview

Ajmer : Ajmer had considerable strategic importance and was sacked by Mohammed Gauri on one of his periodic forays from Afghanistan. Later, it became a favourite residence of the mighty Mughals. One of the first contacts between the Mughals and the British occurred in Ajmer, when Sir Thomas Roe met with Jehangir here in 1616. In 1818, it was handed over to the British, becoming one of the few places in Rajasthan controlled directly by the British rather than being part of a princely state. Some of the famous tourist places of Ajmer are Khawaja Muin-uddin Chishti Dargah Sharif, Ana Sagar Lake, Adhai-Din-Ka-Jhopra, Taragarh Fort & Ancient Jain Temples.

Pushkar : There is general belief among Hindus that no pilgrimage to the four principal pilgrim centres (Char Dham), namely - Badrinath, Jagannath, Rameshwaram & Dwarka would bear fruit unless one bathes in the holy waters of Pushkar Lake. The World only Temple of Lord Brahma is situated at Holy Town Pushkar which is just 15 Kms from Ajmer City. Pushkar town is surrounded with beautiful hills & sand dunes. Visitors who are not able to visit Thar Desert of Jaisalmer, can enjoy memorable Camel Ride at Pushkar during Ajmer & Pushkar Day Trip from Jaipur. In Pushkar you can also visit Ropeway, Savitri Temple, Pushkar Lake & Local Markets.
