The short answer
When to go to Pushkar
November to February is the most comfortable season, coinciding with the cooler weather that suits the ghats, temples and bazaar; the Pushkar Camel Fair in November draws large crowds. April to June is very hot, and July to August brings monsoon humidity, though pilgrim numbers thin out then. The ghats have many steps down to the water, so older travellers should stick to viewpoints from the road where needed, wear non-slip shoes on wet marble, and build in a rest after lunch.
