In recent times there has been a new addition to the fair which is an exhibition cricket match between the local Pushkar club and the team of randomly selected foreign tourists. Camel race is fascinating and between the events one more fascinating thing is the test of how the camel is able to bring the items. To showcase this, the men here go up on the group of camels one after another. You can book camps here in advance to enjoy the full days of fair.
