A Walkable City

Ajmer is a walkable city, once you get your bearings. The Dargah bazaar is about 10 minutes walk and Ana Sagar (the "lake" - which has marble pavillions in a garden and is a wonderful place to sit, especially on hot days) is about 30 minutes walk. There are some wonderful back-alleys -- just wander down small side streets from the Dargah bazaar and you'll see some wonderful old architecture and murals before you stumble back across a main street. Other than on foot, cycle rickshaws, autorickshaws) and horse-drawn tongas are available for hire. There are also tempos that run from the bus stand to the railway station.

Places to Visit

Nareli is a Jain place located on the outskirts nearby Kishangarh bypass. This is a good place to visit, has a very big temple and offer authentic jain food.

Ana Sagar is the tank in Ajmer. Daulat Bag is a garden on the near side of Ana Sagar and is a nice place to relax. There are marble monuments by the shore and plenty of ice cream and papad-wallahs selling snacks. There is apparently boat rental, though other than a bumper boats tank.

The Dargah of Sufi saint Khawaja Moinuddin Chisti is a major pilgrimage centre for Muslims and some Hindus. Entry is free, but you should give the people watching your shoes a couple of rupees. Priests are available to act as guides and to perform ceremonies at the shrine. Men and women must cover their heads, and women must cover their shoulders. The beggars in the Dargah Bazaar can be quite persistent.

There is a Jain temple on the way to Ana Sagar which is quite beautiful from the outside. You can also enter, but usual temple protocols apply.

Must go to Pushkar -visit the amazing Brahma Temple, go shopping in the narrow but ethnic and colourful lanes of the marketplace, eat traditional foods as well as international delicacies in the numerous eateries.

Shah Jahan's Mosque- This mosque is the most beautiful of all the structures, in the Dargah precinct. It is made of white marble, delicately carved with trellis-work.
