Pushkar

After Bundi we headed to the holy Hindu & Muslin pilgrimage town of Pushkar. It is a small town surrounding a lake in the middle of the desert. The pilgrims bathe in the water as a way to wash away their sins. We were surprised to find that the majority of the tourists were Israeli. Hebrew could be found on many storefronts and we ate delicious falafel and hummus on a daily basis!

The "ghats" surrounding the lake...

Pushkar was the perfect relaxing end to our 10 days in Rajasthan. Off to Delhi for a brief stop before heading north to Rishikesh...

Watch how you go...
