Pushkar Camel Fair will be held from 9th to 17th November 2013. Groups of camels, herders and traders begin to appear from out of the desert and set up camp in the dunes around Pushkar. On the dunes, the gathering of camels will reach maximum size by the 9th. There will be lively discussions as groups of vendors and purchasers meet around their animals and negotiators help to arrange deals. The best prices are achieved in a year when the monsoon has been good. This is the best time for photography and the time when you may move around and observe the scene most freely. The fair is traditionally a great meeting place where even marriages may be arranged. Aside from the camel fair, the Pushkar Fair would mean the town, temples and bazaars will become more crowded. The colourful fairground attracts huge crowds with stalls, street vendors, sideshows and giant wheels. The whole event wears a great festive spirit.
