Travel tips

  • Book cabs in advance as taxi availability outside the airport can be limited during off-peak hours.
  • Ajmer Sharif Dargah is busiest during Urs festival — plan your visit and accommodation well ahead if travelling during this period.
  • Pushkar Camel Fair (held in November) draws large crowds; book flights and hotels months in advance if attending.
  • Dress modestly when visiting religious sites like the Dargah and Brahma Temple in Pushkar.
  • Carry cash as many local vendors, auto-rickshaws, and smaller hotels in the region may not accept digital payments.
  • The Ajmer-Pushkar road can get congested during peak pilgrimage season; allow extra travel time.

Development: Kishangarh Airport is being considered for expansion of its terminal and apron to accommodate growing passenger traffic under the UDAN scheme. AAI has proposed infrastructure upgrades to enhance connectivity with more cities across India.
