Photo Tour to the World Famous Pushkar Mela

The sprawling annual festivities of the 100-year-plus Pushkar fair, through its diversified pictures, mirrors the vibrancy of the gracious state of Rajasthan. Held each November at the time of the full moon, the Pushkar Camel Fair (also called Pushkar Cattle Fair) is one of India's most popular travel experiences — a spectacle on an epic scale that attracts more than 50,000 camels, horses and cattle, 8,00,000 tourists and 60,000 expats from across the world to the tiny desert town of Pushkar, on the edge of the Thar Desert. This fair is a must-do for anyone interested in photography.

A professional photographer will be accompanying the group. There will be daily sessions on photography as well as review of photographs taken, along with guidance on composition & understanding the advanced camera functions.

Basic camera knowledge is a must for those with DSLR/Mirrorless cameras. For those without a camera, the guidance will be on the usage of the smartphone camera.
