Ghaziabad to Pushkar Taxi Service
Ghaziabad to Pushkar is a long day on NH48 through Rajasthan, usually paired with a stop in Jaipur or Ajmer given how far it is.
Route Overview
Ghaziabad to Pushkar by Road
From Ghaziabad the cab crosses towards Delhi and Gurgaon to join NH48, the main highway into Rajasthan, running via Behror, Neemrana, Kotputli and Jaipur before the final stretch to Pushkar via Ajmer. It's a considerably longer drive than Jaipur alone.
Many travellers treat Pushkar as an extension of a Jaipur trip rather than a separate destination, since the towns sit within a reasonable distance of each other once you're in that part of Rajasthan. Breaking the journey with a night in Jaipur makes the whole trip considerably more comfortable.
Pushkar itself is compact and largely walkable once you arrive, built around its lake and the many ghats surrounding it. The town gets extremely crowded during the Pushkar Camel Fair, usually in October or November.

Places to Visit
Top Attractions in Pushkar
- Pushkar Lake — This sacred lake, lined with 52 ghats, is believed to have formed where a lotus petal dropped by Brahma landed, and it sits at the centre of Pushkar's identity as a town. Visiting the ghats early in the morning, before the heat builds up, generally offers the quietest experience.
- Brahma Temple — Among the very few temples anywhere dedicated specifically to Brahma, this stands out precisely because the creator deity is so rarely given a primary temple elsewhere in India. That distinction alone makes it worth the visit beyond the architecture itself.
- Pushkar Bazaar — This market street, known for silver jewellery, textiles and leather goods, forms the commercial centre of town, with stalls and small shops crowded close together. It's better suited to an unhurried browse than a quick, single-stop visit.
- Savitri Temple — Overlooking both Pushkar and its lake from a hilltop position, this temple is accessible either by ropeway or a walking trek for those willing to climb. The wide view over the desert surroundings and the town below is what makes the trip worthwhile.
Good to Know
Best Time to Travel and Road Notes
Best season: October to March is the most comfortable time to visit, avoiding the summer heat. The Pushkar Camel Fair, usually in October or November, draws enormous crowds and needs advance planning if that's your reason for visiting.
Road note: During the Camel Fair, road access into Pushkar tightens considerably and parking is arranged well outside the town centre. Outside the fair, this is a manageable long day trip when paired with a Jaipur halt.
Cab Choices
Cab Options for Pushkar
An Innova or similar SUV suits the length of this trip better than a sedan, mainly for comfort over a long day. Sedans work fine for two or three passengers if the trip is split with an overnight stay in Jaipur.
- A sedan is comfortable for this route given the flat, fast highway throughout.
- Families with more luggage or planning a few days of sightseeing often prefer an Ertiga or Innova for the extra space.
- AC works consistently through the drive, which matters more here than on most other routes given how hot the plains get.
- Drivers on this route know the highway well and can suggest a sensible halt if the day runs long.
FAQs
Ghaziabad to Pushkar Taxi FAQs
How long does the drive from Ghaziabad to Pushkar take?
It's a long day given the distance beyond Jaipur, so many travellers break the journey with a night there before continuing to Pushkar. NH48 itself is fast, but the added distance beyond Jaipur makes this longer than a Jaipur-only trip.
Can we visit Ajmer Sharif on the same trip?
Yes, Ajmer sits on the way to Pushkar and is commonly visited on the same trip. Mentioning this while booking helps with planning the day properly, since the dargah can draw significant crowds depending on the day.
Is the Pushkar Camel Fair worth planning around?
It's a major event, usually in October or November, that draws enormous crowds and fills accommodation well in advance. If that's your reason for visiting, book well ahead, since road access into the town also tightens.
Are toll charges included in the fare?
Toll on NH48 is billed separately at actuals, since there are several toll points along the route into Rajasthan. Please confirm this on the call so the total cost is clear before you travel.
Should we stay overnight in Jaipur on the way?
It's a sensible way to break up a long day, particularly if you also want proper sightseeing time in Jaipur itself. Continuing straight through to Pushkar in one day is possible but makes for a tiring trip overall.
Which vehicle suits this route best?
An Innova or similar SUV suits the length of this trip better than a sedan, mainly for comfort over a long day. Sedans work fine if the trip is split with an overnight stay along the way.
What time should we leave Ghaziabad?
An early start helps clear the Delhi and Gurgaon crossing before local traffic builds, which matters more here than on shorter routes given the overall length of the drive to Pushkar.
