Some trips feel perfect for a weekend. Pushkar is one of them. It has a holy lake, old temples, cafes, bazaars and the quiet charm of a small desert town, and it is only a day's drive from the capital. But when ten or twelve people are travelling together, the real question is how to get there without stress. Booking many cabs, splitting families across cars and managing luggage can spoil the mood before the trip even starts. A comfortable van fixes all of that, and this guide explains how Delhi to Pushkar by Urbania Rental works, along with distance, route, cost and what to see.
How Far Is Pushkar From Delhi?
The Delhi to Pushkar distance is around 415 to 435 km by road, depending on the route you take. The drive usually takes 7 to 8 hours with tea and lunch breaks. Early morning traffic around Gurugram and Manesar can add some time, so it is wise to start before 6 AM. Pushkar is also about 14 km beyond Ajmer, and the last stretch passes through a pretty hill road.
The Best Route to Take
Most vehicles follow the Delhi to Jaipur highway and then continue towards Kishangarh, Ajmer and Pushkar. A simple version of the route looks like this:
Delhi, Gurugram, Manesar, Behror, Kotputli, Jaipur bypass, Dudu, Kishangarh, Ajmer and Pushkar.
This road is smooth and has plenty of restaurants, washrooms and fuel stations. A good driver will choose a bypass near Jaipur to avoid city traffic, which saves around 30 to 45 minutes. Remember to keep a small amount of cash and FASTag balance ready, since toll plazas come frequently on this highway.
Why a Van Is Better for Groups
When everyone travels together, the trip begins with conversation, music and photos on the highway. You do not have to wait for the second car at every stop. A private van also takes you directly to your hotel, which is useful in Pushkar because the market roads are narrow and busy. At Luxury Urbania Rental, families, friends, wedding groups and office teams book Urbania vans for this kind of short outstation trip because of the comfortable seats, good AC and large luggage space.
If you are searching for Delhi to Pushkar Urbania rental, check that the vehicle is clean, the driver knows the route, and the booking terms are shared in writing before you pay.
What Size Group Fits Best?
A Delhi to Pushkar 12-seater is perfect for a group of 9 to 12 people with bags. If your group is smaller, you get extra legroom and space for shopping at Pushkar market. Larger groups of 14 to 17 can ask for a bigger Urbania layout, such as the 17-seater, but confirm the seat count before booking.

Approximate Cost for a Group
The figures below are for planning only. The final price depends on season, number of days, kilometres and extra stops.
| Plan | Total Van Cost | Per Person (Group of 12) |
|---|---|---|
| One way drop, around 430 km | ₹20,000 to ₹26,000 | ₹1,650 to ₹2,150 |
| Round trip, 2 days | ₹32,000 to ₹40,000 | ₹2,650 to ₹3,350 |
| Round trip, 3 days with Ajmer sightseeing | ₹40,000 to ₹50,000 | ₹3,350 to ₹4,200 |
Toll, parking, state permit charges and driver allowance should be confirmed at the time of booking. During the Pushkar fair season, rates may rise because demand is high. A Delhi to Pushkar group trip by van usually works out cheaper per head than several cabs, and you also get doorstep pickup and drop-off.
A Simple 2 Day Group Trip Plan
Day 1: Delhi to Pushkar
Leave by 5 AM and stop for breakfast near Behror or Kotputli. Have lunch near Kishangarh and reach Pushkar by afternoon. Check in, rest for a while and walk to the lake by sunset. The ghats look beautiful in the evening light, and the aarti is peaceful.
Day 2: Pushkar and Ajmer, then return
Visit the Brahma Temple in the morning, then take a short ropeway ride to Savitri Mata Temple for wide views. After lunch, drive to Ajmer for Ajmer Sharif Dargah and Ana Sagar Lake if time allows. Start back by late afternoon and plan dinner on the highway.
If you have a third day, keep one more day for the market, cafes and a camel ride.
Top Places to Visit in Pushkar
- Pushkar Lake. The heart of the town, surrounded by 52 ghats. Pilgrims take a holy dip, and the evening view is a favourite for photographers.
- Brahma Temple. One of the very few temples in India dedicated to Lord Brahma. It is a must visit for first time travellers.
- Savitri Mata Temple. Set on a hill above the town, it offers a lovely view of the lake and the surrounding desert. A ropeway makes the climb easy for elders.
- Pushkar Bazaar. A busy market for silver jewellery, leather items, colourful bags, mirror work cushions and rose products. Bargaining is common, so smile and negotiate politely.
- Varaha and Rangji Temples. These are old, beautiful temples with intricate architecture, and both are close to the main market.
- Pap Mochini Mata Temple and Atmateshwar Mahadev. Quiet, less crowded spots for people who like calm and views.
- Camel and Desert Experiences. A short camel ride near the dunes in the evening is an easy way to add some fun for kids and friends.
Nearby Stops in Ajmer
- Ajmer Sharif Dargah. One of India's most visited shrines, open to people of all faiths. Carry a head cover and visit early to avoid long queues.
- Ana Sagar Lake. A calm place for an evening walk near Ajmer.
- Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra. A historic monument known for its detailed arches and carvings.
Best Time to Visit
October to March is the best time, with cool days and pleasant evenings. Summers are hot, so keep trips short and start early. The big Pushkar Camel Fair is held around Kartik Purnima in November and attracts huge crowds. It is a fun and colourful experience, but hotels and vehicles need to be booked well in advance.
Helpful Tips for First-Time Visitors
- Respect the holy town. Meat and alcohol are not allowed in Pushkar.
- Dress modestly. Cover up near temples and the lake, and remove footwear before going to the ghats.
- Beware of puja offers at the ghat. If someone offers you flowers and asks for money for a puja, politely decline unless you have chosen a priest yourself.
- Keep valuables safe. Markets can get crowded.
- Eat well. Try local sweets like malpua and rabri, and eat at clean, busy restaurants.
What to Check Before You Book
Ask for the exact seat count, model, AC condition and charging points. Confirm the kilometre limit, night halt charges and what happens if you extend the trip. Check if the vehicle has a valid permit for Rajasthan. A trusted rental partner will share all details clearly and will not hide charges.
