After reaching Ajmer, tourists will not run out of places to visit. There are too many of them and almost everyone has either a legend or a story to narrate behind them. In the pages of history, Ajmer has always been an important place and with further growth and development has become a favored tourist landmark.

Start your journey of Ajmer with a visit to the holy pilgrimage place of Pushkar. Consisting of a magnificent temple dedicated to the Hindu God, Lord Brahma and a beautiful lake, Pushkar becomes a site of the famous Pushkar Mela or fair held in the English months of October and November. An interesting story goes behind the origin of the lake which was believed to have sprung from a lotus that fell from the hands of Lord Brahma. The shining lake is surrounded by lofty hills on three sides and Snake Mountain or the Nag Pahar separates the lake from Ajmer.

Among the notable places to visit, the next that come in prominence is the pious Dargah of the eminent Sufi Saint, Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti. Respected and visited by both Muslims and Hindus alike, this grand mausoleum is situated at the base of a barren hill. Apart from the tomb of the saint, what draws attention is the Akbari Masjid, two huge cauldrons and another mosque built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. A massive gate adorns the mausoleum, which is believed to have been built by the Nizam of Hyderabad. A grand fair is also held during the Urs which commemorates the death anniversary of the holy saint. The celebrations take place during the month of Rajab.
