How to Get from Agra to Ajmer
Contents

Agra has the Taj Mahal, Ajmer has the Sufi shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti. The journey west takes you away from the plains of Uttar Pradesh and into the drier, rockier landscapes of the Aravalli Range, with Pushkar and its lake a short ride beyond Ajmer.

Arriving in Ajmer

Ajmer Junction is close to the old city, where the Ajmer Sharif Dargah draws pilgrims of every faith to its marble courtyards. Anasagar Lake is a short ride away, and Pushkar, a town built around a sacred lake with a long row of temples and bathing ghats, lies just beyond. Ajmer works well as a base for both, and the Taj Mahal you left behind in Agra feels a long way off.
