A visit to Shree Savitri Mata Mandir was one of the most unique experiences we had in Pushkar. We climbed all the way up to the temple on foot – about 940 steps leading up the mountain. The climb isn’t easy, especially since the steps near the top are uneven, and some are even broken or damaged, so it’s important to walk carefully. Still, the effort is absolutely worth it – the view along the way is breathtaking, offering wide desert scenery and a stunning view of Pushkar town and the sacred lake below.
Towards the end of the climb, we encountered many monkeys, and some of them come quite close to visitors. It’s highly recommended not to hold food in your hands and to keep a safe distance from them – they can be curious and playful. Despite that, the atmosphere throughout the hike is peaceful and special, and reaching the top brings a real sense of accomplishment.
The view from the summit is especially beautiful at sunset, when the golden light colors the hills and the town beneath. It’s best to go on a clear day to enjoy the scenery to the fullest. Our walk took about 35 minutes at an easy pace, with a few stops for rest and photos. A truly recommended experience for anyone seeking a mix of spirituality, nature, and a light physical challenge.
