It only gets better as local, popular, and exquisite preparations become more affordable. The must-order items in Pushkar are Malpua, Poha, Dal Chaat, Dal Bati Choorma, and Lassi.

Pushkar's weather is typically dry, with nights being cool and days being much hotter. Because this is a desert region, there is intermittent rainfall, and visiting during each season will expose you to different aspects of the city. As a result, summers and monsoons in Pushkar can be extremely hot and humid. As a result, the winter season (November to February) is the best time to visit this enchanting city.
Beautiful setting at the foot of the Aravali Mountains. Tourist facilities are well developed.
