If you think the Pushkar Camel Fair's all about glamping and decked-up camels walking the sandy ramp, think again. Along with some stunning musical performances, handicrafts and local games, you also have a chance to rise above the usual experiences by hopping on to a hot air balloon.
Between Nov 8 - 14, you can book yourself {alone or with your merry band} a balloon ride for a true bird's eye view of the colourful Pushkar. If this doesn't have you going giddy with excitement, you can check out the complete activity-packed schedule here.
The time slots are available for morning and evening so neither early birds nor night owls have reason to complain.
PS: We just read that foreigners will be playing langri taang and there'll be a Lagaan-style cricket match too! Now go, snigger in the corner. And and, there's kite flying, sunset safaris on the dunes and a moustache competition {yes! now go take your hispter mooch there}.
