Pushkar Portraits

Camels as far as the eye could see a veritable living national geographic photograph. If you go to India for nothing else go for the Pushkar Camel Fair it’s a phenomena from another era. Riding on the back of our camel cart it was almost impossible to believe we were still in the 21st century except for our digital camera clicking away. Turbaned men with their herds of camels and horses were negotiating deals with each other while the women collected camel dung for fires. The real action all happens in the first 3 days, once the deals are struck the camels and new owners start leaving.

    Wow! I hope we can get some pix half as good as yours. We're going this October and will stay at Camp Bliss but only for 2 days. Thanks for posting.
