Pushkar Sunset Tour – If you haven’t sat on one of the Aravalli hills, with a couple of your friends and have not witnessed the calm serene brilliantly read and orange sun drowning in the infinite ocean of lovely brown sand, then you haven’t felt what it is to be completely weightless against your body while conversing with the cold breeze and sensing each speck of your soul. That’s what sunset in Pushkar does to you.

Pushkar being one of the oldest villages in Rajasthan describes this state of deserts in the aptest way possible. A village still submerged in the world of ancient sands, bright-coloured shops, and an air of traditionality, it offers you something which none of the villages anywhere in the world can. A perfect balanced blend of traditionality and modernity with a sly sense of flexibility of time and culture. Nothing is more exciting than doing a camel ride in Pushkar and spending an adorable evening with friends on the top of a hill.

To be able to walk through the old weary boulevards of Pushkar means a world to those who understand the essence of a culture survived through the storms of modernity and westernization. Moustache believes that anyone who is alien to this astounding culture and tradition of Pushkar must have a chance to witness it firsthand, Hence, we are delighted to present you the extravagant ‘Pushkar Sunset Tour’.

To bring the ethos of Pushkar’s sunset in a form of expression is like dreaming to walk on the moon someday soon. Sitting on the top of a hill and experiencing the charm of that lovely sunset can be only felt and sensed.

To have perfect timing between an itching heat and caressing cold, our sunset tour starts at 4 p.m. Pushkar being a village, walking is the primary means of conveyance, therefore we too will walk through the roads and streets, and hike over a small hill to the reach the famous Savitri temple.

To serve you in the best way possible and help you explore every nook and corner of this enchanting village, our tour will trudge through some nearby rural settlements so that you can also get to see the myriad mechanisms of a pure Indian village, which thankfully is still untouched by the wave of modernity. On the way, befriend the locals, laugh on their stupid yet amazing stories and take a few life skills from them too.
