Jaipur to Pushkar One Day Tour by Car – Route, Cost & Itinerary

A one day trip from Jaipur to Pushkar offers travelers a comfortable way to experience one of Rajasthan’s oldest and most peaceful towns. The drive connects the royal capital with a sacred destination known for its lake, temples, and desert charm. The journey takes you through open landscapes, traditional villages, and small local markets. Every stop adds something meaningful, making the trip enjoyable and complete within a single day.

Overview of Jaipur-Pushkar Same Day Tour

The Jaipur to Pushkar one day car tour is for those who want to see more of Rajasthan without hurrying. The distance is 189 km, which takes around 5 hours each way. The road is smooth, the scenery changes from city to desert, and the experience is a mix of spirituality, culture and relaxation.

Pushkar is famous for Brahma Temple, Pushkar Lake and local markets. Unlike big cities it is very calm and sacred. The whole trip can be done in a day, so it’s perfect for families, couples or solo travelers.

Route and Travel Details

The usual itinerary of the journey would be Jaipur → Kishangarh → Ajmer → Pushkar along NH48. NH48 is still one of the most picturesque stretches of roadway in Rajasthan among hills and desert plains. Travelers may not have a hard time noting the shift away from urbanity towards rurality on their way out of Jaipur.

Most travelers start between 6:00 to 7:00 AM from Jaipur to make the most of the day. You can stop for breakfast or photos on the way.

Small towns like Kishangarh are recognized for their marble work and food stalls. Many travelers often take a quick stop for chai or snacks before arriving in Pushkar at about 9:30 AM.

En-Route Stop at Nag Pahad (Serpent Hill)

A small hill called Nag Pahad sits in between Ajmer and Pushkar. It is the natural border of the two towns. It only takes a few minutes here to give travelers a view of the landscape below on each side of the hill, and a photo point of the road curving into Pushkar. Most tours skip past this point because it is not a natural attraction but it serves as a real glimpse into the changing landscape of Rajasthan.

Why Travel by Car

Traveling by private car affords a level of flexibility and privacy that pre-organized tours or group buses cannot match. A car provides us with the options of deciding when to stop somewhere and how long to stay at a stop. Instead of being a rushed appointment on a timetable, it can be leisurely and relaxed.

Cars with air-conditioning make the trip comfortable, even in hot weather. The car will be able to stop for meals, rest, or to take photos without feeling rushed. Consequently, a clean, well-maintained vehicle makes for enjoyable long-distance travel for any family and older travelers.

The greatest benefit is the degree of control — you travel at your pace, see more sites, and spend time where it is needed.

One Day Jaipur to Pushkar Tour Itinerary

This plan is organized to aid travelers in visiting all major attractions and enjoy the drive without hurry.

6:00 AM – 7:00 AM: Pickup from Jaipur

Your driver will pick you up from your hotel (or home). After getting started, the car will head west toward Pushkar on NH 48. A quick stop for breakfast can be taken at Kishangarh at a roadside eatery. Typical options are parathas, poha, or tea served in clay cups.

9:30 AM: Arrival in Pushkar

The first destination is the Brahma Temple, located in the center of the town. Only a handful of temples worldwide dedicate themselves to Lord Brahma. The temple is made of marble and stone, and the serene surroundings also give one a quiet space for prayer, or if you are interested in taking pictures.

11:00 AM: Visit to Pushkar Lake

The lake is the main attraction and is sacred. The ghats around it are used for rituals and bathing by pilgrims. You can sit by the water, watch the temples reflected in the lake or walk around the lanes. The sound of temple bells and chanting is so peaceful.

12:30 PM: Lunch Break

Several restaurants around the lake serve veg food with ghat views. Rooftop cafes are popular for simple food and views. You can have traditional Rajasthani food or light snacks. A glass of lassi or a plate of malpua with rabri is the best way to taste local flavors.

2:00 PM: Savitri Temple and Ropeway Ride

After lunch the trip continues to the Savitri Temple, which is situated on a hill behind the town. You can reach the temple by a short ropeway ride or by climbing steps. The hill offers a great view of Pushkar, the lake and the surrounding sand dunes. The ropeway ride is quick and scenic so if you don’t want to walk up the hill this is a good option.

3:30 PM: Explore Pushkar Bazaar

The market around the lake is full of colorful shops that sell handicrafts, silver jewelry, leather goods, and handmade clothes. The lanes are narrow but easy to walk through, and the shopkeepers are friendly.

You can also find small stalls selling rose oil and incense made locally. Pushkar is famous for rose farming, and you can buy genuine rose oil from these small family run shops.

Hidden Shopping Lane – Choti Basti Road

Behind the main market is a small lane called Choti Basti Road, where small workshops make handmade musical instruments and camel-leather journals. Few tourists find this place, but it’s a great place to shop away from the crowds.

4:30 PM – 5:00 PM: Optional Stops

If time permits, visit the rose fields or take a short camel ride on the outskirts of town. The rose farms bloom in late February and March; riding the camels, however, is a good opportunity to get clear views of the desert and nearby hills, and this option is available year round.

During the return trip, the car can stop briefly near Ana Sagar Lake in Ajmer. The evening light is perfect for photography and allows travelers to rest for a short time before heading back to Jaipur.

5:00 PM – 8:00 PM: Return to Jaipur

The drive back starts in the evening as the sun sets behind the Aravalli hills. The changing colors of the sky make this drive especially beautiful. You will reach Jaipur by around 8:00 PM.

Note: If you’re visiting Pushkar in November, make sure you don’t miss the Pushkar Camel Fair.
