Pushkar in February
Great time to visit
Another prime month with gorgeous weather and manageable heat. Yes, it's crowded and pricey, but February gives you Pushkar at its most photogenic.
Weather
February continues the dry, pleasant weather with slightly warmer days than January. Morning mist around the lake creates ethereal scenes, while afternoons stay comfortable without being hot. Rain is almost non-existent.

All Months
October to March is your window — desert heat becomes bearable and you can actually walk around during the day. December and January are perfect, with sunny days around 25°C and cool nights perfect for rooftop dinners. November brings the famous Pushkar Camel Fair, when the population triples and hotel prices quadruple. Book months ahead if you want to experience the chaos. April onwards gets brutally hot — we're talking 45°C in May and June. Monsoon season (July-September) is unpredictable. Some years bring relief, others just humidity without rain. The town looks beautiful after rare desert showers, but don't bank on it. Winter mornings can be surprisingly cold, pack layers.
