Whenever you imagine how a city in Rajasthan would be, it can almost be taken for granted that your mind will summons pictures of majestic havelis, striking forts, luxurious hotels with vintage cars and horses. Pushkar is the exact opposite. A small, sleepy town nestled distinctively in Aravalis, it is believed to house?the only temple for Brahma. A striking city marked not only by its religious significance but also by its world famous camel fairs and how the locals celebrate the festival of Holi.

This tiny place serves some of the best culinary delights in all of Pushkar. Caling their pyaaz kachori the very best is also an understatement. Locals swear by crunchy mathri and dal topped over poha and finished off with onions. Do keep in mind that this shop opens at 6:00 AM and lines queue up almost instantly, so set those alarms and don't hit snooze because you will seriously regret it.

One of the most stunning cafes, Out Of The Blue, in Pushkar, will be a treat for your stomach and for your eyes. Offering a multi-special cuisine, we were sold on their ravioli and pancakes. Along with the food, once you are taking a break from all the exploring, sit down with a cup of tea on the terrace and take in the beauty of Pushkar (and a little glimpses of Ajmer if you can see far and wide).?

A real surprise, you wouldn't think you will find Israeli food in Pushkar, but again the city manages to surprise you. Ganga, a restaurant located on Market Road is a raging hit. Their falafels and humus wraps are insanely good. Oozing with mozzarella cheese, a dollop of mayonaise and your choice of filling: mushroom or chicken, the wraps there are divine.?
