Pushkar Camel Fair, Rajasthan – Gallery

/

We had long wanted to visit Pushkar again, this time to experience the famous Camel Fair. At last, we managed to schedule a visit in 2010. Despite it being famous as a “tourist” attraction, it lived up to our expectations as a colorful, fun, event, with numerous local people attending, in addition to the camels and their owners and drivers. Many of these photos are obviously of the camel grounds, but the event spills out into the adjacent market area and the town.
