28 Nov. 2012, Early morning around 5:00, we (me and my foreigner friends) started our journey from Bharatpur, Rajasthan to Pushkar to visit Pushkar Camel Fair on its last day. After driving for 6 long hours we reached at Pushkar. More we were getting closer to the fair ground, number of people walking on the road were increasing ,People were with their families wearing their beautiful traditional dresses, it was so Appealing.
Before 3-4 kilometers to the Camel Fair Ground police stopped us on the barrier and asked to walk and park the car there. My friends were so excited about the camel ride which i booked before traveling and the camel ride guy was supposed to meet us on the second police barrier but police stopped us on first barrier itself , we were still 2-3 kilometers away from the meeting point and there were so many people on the the road,it looked like a human river flowing to the fair. We called the camel guy and he said he and his friends will come to pick us up on motorcycles to the second police barrier where camels were waiting for its masters. When i said police will not let you come on motor bike he laughed and said he knows the secret ways and i ignored him as i don't like smart people anyway the guy came and we reached to second barrier safely. It was first time for all of us we set on the camel, sitting is not a big deal the big deal is holding your body together when the camel gets up keeping you on its back. They all screamed and i laughed seeing them scream but when my turn came i am ashamed to say that i too screamed like a little girl and unfortunately my friends took the picture of mine but later i used my sharp mind and borrow the camera from my friend to take their picture and intelligently removed all the weird pictures of mine before they post it on Facebook.
so that's how we started rest of the journey you will be seeing in photographs ....
It was the trip i will never forget and always miss.
