Frequently asked questions:
How do I get to Pushkar?
The most popular option is to fly into Jaipur international airport and get a car transport to the venue in Pushkar. I am happy to help help arrange a car transfer for you from Jaipur to the venue (approx. $50). A lot of guests choose to fly to Jaipur - stay the night in Jaipur and then transfer to Pushkar the morning of the retreat - 17th March
From Jaipur airport (a beautiful 3 hr drive to Pushkar) a car transfer can be arranged for your arrival (not included in retreat price). Alternatively if you make your own way to venue from a previous hotel the hotel can help arrange transfer or the airport in Jaipur has a taxi stand that you can book on arrival or our tried and tested online car transfer websites are www.makemytrip.com/cabs and www.gozocabs.com.

Yes - you can acquire a travel Visa online here…please allow one week processing time and only apply for the visa 2 weeks before the event so the entry date is still valid. You will receive more information once you have paid your deposit.
