About Ajmer

Rajasthan

Overview

Ajmer is known across India for the Khwaja Garib Nawaz Dargah, where people of all faiths come for dua and the daily langar. Ana Sagar Lake offers a pleasant setting for evening walks, while Taragarh Fort looks down over the town from the hills above. Ajmer sits just a short drive from Pushkar, making it easy to visit both on the same trip.
