Incredible India and the Pushkar Camel Festival
Summary
Years ago, my love affair with India began while volunteering with Mother Teresa in Kolkata. The country overwhelmed my senses with its stark contrasts, yet I found it utterly fascinating. The enchanting scents, vibrant colors, and warm people were intoxicating. Now, I invite you on an unforgettable journey through India, with the highlight being the Pushkar Camel Festival. With perfect weather in November, we've secured top accommodations throughout.
Discovering India
Upon arrival in this land of diverse languages and deities, we are warmly welcomed at the Intercontinental, an oasis of luxury amidst Delhi’s bustling cityscape. Here, tradition meets modernity on an impressive scale. Sacred Brahma bulls roam the streets, and life bustles with energy.
As a fan of spicy cuisine, I indulge in fiery curry breakfasts. We then travel to Rajasthan, a desert state where colorful camels replace cows. The air is sweeter, and the spirit of the people is humbling. We wave to curious onlookers who silently ask, “Why here?” For me, this third-world charm has always beckoned.
Pushkar Camel Festival
We visit the annual Camel Fair in Pushkar, a centuries-old spectacle. It attracts thousands of camels and traders, creating a surreal, vibrant scene. Our camp, Exotic Adventures, offers basic comforts with a unique desert experience. Despite the chill of the nights and the heat of the days, the festival soon turns my initial culture shock into awe.
The fairground stretches across sandy dunes alive with races, contests, and captivating performances. From trained monkeys to snake charmers, the sensory overload is beyond words. As others may prefer European museums, this exotic exposure is the ultimate travel experience.
Immersing in Culture
Our evenings are filled with vibrant performances, though alcohol is absent and meals are purely vegetarian. An Ayurveda Center offers treatments we politely decline.
Exploring Pushkar, a holy city with a sacred lake, we learn about the rich tapestry of religions. Visiting temples, we receive blessings and take a memorable Camel Cart Safari through the fair’s behind-the-scenes views.
From Jaipur to Agra
Next, we explore Jaipur, the famed Pink City, which now leans towards maroon due to pollution. The history of ancient rulers comes alive as we wander its architectural marvels.
A visit to the Help In Suffering sanctuary reveals a dedicated effort to care for animals. Witnessing surgeries and offering donations, we support their vital work.
Majestic Agra and the Taj Mahal
Arriving in Agra, a city of contrasts, we stay at the luxurious Sheraton, a welcome change from the chaos. The highlight awaits: the Taj Mahal. As sunlight casts its glow, this architectural masterpiece is poetry in stone.
Farewell to India
Back in Delhi for a final day, we shop and prepare for a cultural show followed by a farewell feast. The trip, guided expertly throughout, rekindles my curiosity about the world. The more I experience, the more I seek.
Reflection
This journey is ideal for seasoned travelers. Despite erratic infrastructure, our group's resilience shines. Witnessing both suffering and joy, the trip remains encapsulated by one word: fascinating. I must return.
Incredible India, with its mind-boggling vibrancy and unmatched diversity, calls to be explored time and again.
