The spirit of the maharajas blends well with the comforts of resort living here. Relax poolside under the shade of a palm tree and escape from Pushkar's chaotic main bazaar, a 15-minute jeep ride away. The restaurant, only for guests, serves nonvegetarian food. The hotel's regal camel cart rides are famous—you journey through nearby sand dunes while watching the sun set. Pros: European-style rooms (in cottages) have views of the Savitri temple that crowns a mountain near the resort, great camel rides. Cons: outside Pushkar, need a car to get around.
