Day-Wise Schedule & Events
(17th Nov to 24th Nov 2026)
The Pushkar Fair is far more than a livestock market, across its eight days, the fairground and the ghats of Pushkar Sarovar host a packed calendar of competitions, cultural performances, religious rituals, and community events. Below is a tentative day-wise programme for Pushkar Fair 2026. Exact timings and events are confirmed closer to the fair by the local administration and Rajasthan Tourism, so treat this as a planning guide rather than a fixed schedule.
Our tour packages cover the entire Pushkar Fair programme, with meals, camp accommodation, and daily pick-up and drop-off between the Pushkar fairground and our camp by jeep included. Every evening, guests can enjoy Kalbeliya gypsy dance performances and a bonfire back at camp after a day at the fair.
