Pushkar (19th - 20th March)
We
arrived into Pushkar – the well known destination for hippies! We
were shocked to find that no meat, eggs or alcohol are allowed into
this sacred city!

We
visited the Brahma temple, one of few in the world, and very special
in the Hindu religion.

At
sunset, we visited the holy Pushkar lake, full of people enjoying the
sunset and spending the evening together.

A sunrise climb to Savitri temple made for some amazing views below, and we also spotted some monkeys watching the sunrise too!
Locals made the climb to reach the temple at the top for their morning prayers.

The popular breakfast choice of Muesli was everywhere in Pushkar – not something we saw in the rest of India, but definitely pleased we did. At 90 Rupee per serve ($1.80AUD) you get a serving of oats and corn flakes, topped with creamy curd (yoghurt), honey and a selection of fresh fruits.
