Pushkar, One of the Oldest Existing Cities in India

By Sonyaandtravis @sonyaandtravis

From Jaipur we caught a short bus ride to Pushkar, Pushkar is a very small town with a central lake with everything close by, which I always like.

Unfortunately, by this time Sonya had got a serious dose of food poisoning and was out of action for most of Pushkar, fortunately, this was her second time visiting. Sonya spent most of the time recovering, meanwhile I made the solo journey up Ratnagiri Hill which presented beautiful views of Pushkar Lake.

A couple of days after our arrival we left towards Jodhpur.
