Pushkar, Rajasthan:

at the holy lake in Pushkar

Two weeks after my return from Himachal Pradesh, I joined a couple of friends for a day trip to Pushkar.

Since my last visit to the holy town in January (see here), construction of the cable car up to the Savitri Temple was completed enabling nice views across tiny Pushkar. In the next hours, we strolled around the lake and enjoyed the comparatively relaxed atmosphere.

On the following weekend, I left Jaipur again and took the train to visit the magnificent and ancient temples of Khajuraho – check out the coming post!
