Ajmer is located in the northern part of India, in the state of Rajasthan. This city is surrounded by the Aravalli mountain ranges and it surrounds the Ana Sagar Lake which is spread over 13 km and is Ajmer’s largest lake. The city has a very rich and important Islamic heritage and history and is a significant pilgrimage site for Muslims as the tomb of Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti is placed here. The city is a chaotic and a bustling one and many often use it as a gateway to Pushkar, which is more laidback and less hectic. Nevertheless, Ajmer continues to be a centre of history, culture, and beauty, and one can understand why it was the favourite destination spot of the Mughal emperors. Travelling to Ajmer is convenient with the roads and railway lines that are well linked and connected to several other places in Rajasthan as well as other Northern States. The Jaipur airport is the nearest airport lying at a distance of 138 km. Hotels in Ajmer are plenty and travellers will find several options to choose from. However, it can get crowded here due its importance as a pilgrimage site as well as its close proximity to Pushkar which is a Hindu pilgrimage site, hence advance bookings are highly recommended. If you’re in the market for good hotels and can stretch your budget to 3 star hotels in Pushkar for a more comfortable stay, you could have a look at the Treebo properties that have launched there. These 3-star hotels in Pushkar come with facilities that include a complimentary breakfast, on-site parking, air-conditioned rooms, an in-house restaurant, security, free Wifi, and complimentary toiletries, amongst others.
