If you have ever wanted to be up close and personal to a camel (and who of us isn’t fascinated by these wonderful ungainly creatures), you could have the opportunity to meet 60,000 of them at the Pushkar Camel Fair held in the Indian state of Rajasthan, from November 18-21 this year. The five day horse and camel fair is one of the last great traditional melas (fairs) to be held each year and it has become one of India’s most colourful and spectacular events. More than 200,000 people, camels, horses, caravans and carts from all corners of India cross sandy dunes to converge on Pushkar to take part in the Fair. Camels are primped, shaved, and bedecked with jewellery and ornate ribbons, and take part in races and even beauty contests, as their owners vie for buyers’ attention. Adventure World is offering a tour which takes in the Pushkar Camel Fair.

This 9 day/8 night private journey the ‘Rajasthan Experience’ takes in the sights of the Taj Mahal, the imperial city of Jodhpur and the camel fair.
