Your Next Weekend Trip from Jaipur Just Found its Perfect Destination
A weekend trip from Jaipur to Pushkara Resort & Spa tends to start the same way: a week that goes on slightly too long, a traffic jam that feels personal, and a quiet realisation that what you actually need is open skies, still water, and a proper break. The rest of Rajasthan can wait. This particular escape is just 3 hours away.
Â
Sitting amid the Aravalli foothills and spread across lush grounds 14 km from Ajmer, our 5-star retreat offers the kind of reset that a city break never quite delivers. The setting is generous, the service is warm and attentive, and the pool on a Rajasthani afternoon is exactly what it should be. For those planning weekend getaways from Jaipur, Pushkara Resort & Spa is a rare pairing of luxury and genuine calm.
Finding Your Way from Jaipur
The drive from Jaipur to Pushkara Resort is one of the more rewarding parts of the trip. National Highway 48 takes you through Bagru, Kishangarh, and Ajmer before the road opens up towards Pushkar, covering roughly 145–150 km in about 2.5 to 3 hours, depending on traffic.
Starting early, ideally before 7:00 a.m., means arriving just as the morning light settles over the Aravallis—a golden-hour welcome that sets the mood for everything that follows.
- Route: Jaipur → Bagru → Kishangarh → Ajmer → Pushkar via NH48
- Distance: 145–150 km from Jaipur
- Drive time: 2.5 to 3 hours
- Best departure: Before 7:00 a.m.
Where Luxury Meets the Landscape
Pushkara Resort & Spa is a Blackrock Hotels property established in recent years, positioned among the newer 5-star addresses in the Pushkar–Ajmer corridor. The resort sits 14 km from Ajmer and roughly 15–20 minutes from the sacred town of Pushkar, placing Brahma Temple, the lake ghats, and Pushkar Bazaar within easy reach while remaining comfortably removed from the town's activity.
The architecture is contemporary and considered, with accommodation blocks, landscaped gardens, and an outdoor pool set against the natural contours of the Aravallis. Sand dunes within the property add a distinctly Rajasthani character, creating a setting that feels both regional and thoughtfully designed.
With more than 90 rooms, cottages, and suites across 9 categories, there is a setting here for most preferences—from quiet couples’ retreats to family stays and group breaks.

Your 2-day itinerary
Day 1: Arrive, Unwind, and Settle In
After the drive from Jaipur, the first priority is a good check-in and nothing more. Our rooms span 9 categories, from balconied cottages to jacuzzi suites, and each is designed to make the transition from city to calm feel almost immediate. Change, breathe, and make your way to the pool.
Spend the afternoon poolside, with the Aravalli hills framing the view and the afternoon light doing exactly what it should. As evening approaches, head to Qube Café for dinner, where a multi-cuisine spread of local and international dishes is served in a stylish fine-dining setting.
The food draws consistently strong praise from guests, particularly the variety and generosity of the spread. After dinner, Gravity Lounge sets the mood for the rest of the evening, with a global menu and a relaxed atmosphere that favours conversation over rushing.
Later, the sand dunes at the edge of the property offer a rare kind of quiet and a sky that has no competition from city lights, making for one of the more memorable ways to close a Friday evening.
Day 2: Explore Pushkar, Then Ease Out
Day 2 starts with breakfast at Qube Café, and it is worth taking your time over it. Guests consistently rate it among the most enjoyable parts of the stay, a generous spread that sets the energy for the morning ahead. From the resort, Pushkar is roughly 15–20 minutes away.
A 2 days trip from Jaipur to this part of Rajasthan feels most complete with a few hours in Pushkar. Brahma Temple, one of very few in the world dedicated to Lord Brahma, is worth visiting for both its architecture and its spiritual significance. Pushkar Lake, ringed by 52 ghats and more than 400 temples, draws visitors for its quiet sacred atmosphere and the rituals that take place along its banks.
The Pushkar Bazaar, lined with handicrafts, textiles, and jewellery stalls, is the kind of place that absorbs an hour very easily. Back at the resort, the afternoon is yours.
A spa session or a long soak in the in-room jacuzzi before checkout makes for a satisfying close to the weekend. Post-lunch checkout ensures the drive back to Jaipur begins rested rather than hurried.
Flavours Worth the Journey
Meals are rarely just a practical part of a trip like this. At Pushkara Resort, dining consistently earns its own mention in guest reviews, and both outlets are built to support that reputation well. Each is open 7:30 AM–10:30 PM, covering every meal of the day without the pressure of fixed sittings or early closes.
Â
Qube Café
Our main restaurant brings a multi-cuisine menu to a stylish fine-dining setting. Each morning opens with a generous buffet spread that has become one of the most consistently praised elements of the Pushkara stay. Through the day, an all-day menu covers a wide range of local and international dishes, prepared with care and served in clean, comfortable surroundings.
Â
Gravity Lounge
For evenings that call for something more relaxed, Gravity Lounge provides the right setting. Global cuisine is served in an atmosphere that favours conversation and comfort over formality, making it equally suited to an early evening drink, a casual dinner, or a quiet nightcap at the end of a full day.
