Pushkar Travel Guide
Royal Kafila

Undertake a journey through time and soak in the atmosphere of the way royalty
of yore travelled in the desert. The royal Kafila comprises of 10 to 12 camel
carts exquisitely designed and decorated in the traditional manner. The carts
reflect the designs that were prevalent during different periods of history.
The carts are double as well as multi-seaters with their own exclusive camel
driver. A provision carriage and out-riders accompany the Kafila and as dusk
falls and night sets in, torchbearers to show the way.
The Resort has three types of Royal Camel Kafilas:
The Pilgrimage Kafila - to Pushkar Town One of the most
prevalent forms of travel earlier was for a pilgrimage to various sacred
sites in the country. The journey could last for months and was an elaborate
exercise with frequent halts, visits to various towns and villages and was
conducted with an atmosphere of religious fervor inter-mingled with joy and
gaiety.
Pushkar Resorts recreates the atmosphere with a Kafila to
Pushkar. A brief description of the Kafila is as follows:
The guests are seen off in the traditional manner by a group of women
and girls with songs, aarti and holy tikka ceremony. The

short tea / coffee.
On reaching Pushkar the guests are escorted

bathing ghats and then to wander through the quaint streets of Pushkar.
The guests are escorted back to the Resort in vehicles.
