From the pink facades of Jaipur to Ajmer, the spiritual heart of Rajasthan: you swap palaces for the Dargah Sharif, one of India's best-known pilgrimage sites. The route runs across dry plains and the old Aravalli hills, and the train is the easiest way to travel it.
Jaipur to Ajmer by Train
Trains run between Jaipur Junction and Ajmer Junction through the day and night, so you can choose a departure to suit your plans. Pick Second Sitting if you want the budget option with padded bench seats, or an air-conditioned class (AC Chair Car, AC 3-Tier, AC 2-Tier or AC First) for a quieter ride.
Ajmer Junction is busy, and rickshaw drivers crowd the exit. Have your hotel address ready, or the direction of the Dargah if you plan to walk.
Onward to Pushkar
Pushkar, the holy lake town, lies just over the hills from Ajmer. From Ajmer Junction a local bus or taxi takes you there.
