Pushkar and Ajmer

Yet another 5 hour govt bus ride, why do we keep doing them? Well we turn up at the bus station in the morning and the bus leaves straight away. Plus its pretty cheap and requires no booking or planning. Changed buses in Ajmer and headed out to Pushkar, which is a small (even in NZ terms)town on a large pond that is a pilgrimage site for Hindus. It draws a lot of travelers/ backpackers as well, due to being pretty chilled and quite compared with the rest of Rajasthan. Did not get up to much there, watched a few amazing sunsets, went for a couple of wanders, got drunk in our hotel room on Christmas day (dry town). Headed in to Ajmer for a day trip, brought booze for Christmas and headed to a major Muslim Pilgrimage point, the shrine of a Sufi Saint. Went around it with a young Brit named Zack. Was an experience similar to the ones I had in Iran feeling really out of place, did not stay long though. Stayed in Pushkar until boxing day then bailed out and headed to another little town.
