Nagaur Fair & Desert Festival Tour


Destinations Covered: Nagaur, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer

Cattle Fair, Nagaur

The cattle fair of Nagaur is the second largest in Rajasthan and is held every year during the month of Magh (January - February)

The fair is renowned for the trading in cows, bullocks, camels and horses. The bullocks of Nagaur are renowned for their fleetness and attract a large number of buyers.

Red Chilly Market is the main attraction and wooden items, iron crafts and leather accessories are available in abundance during the fair.

Various games are organized during this four-day festival. Tug-of-war, camel races, cock fights etc. provide entertainment to the tourists and visitors.

As the sun goes down, a joyous atmosphere is created by the folk musicians, whose voices echo far and wide across the tranquil desert sand.
 

Desert Festival, Jaisalmer

Held in the months of January-February, the Desert Festival exudes a delightful spirit. For three days, the otherwise barren land of Jaisalmer comes to life and is clustered with hordes of colourfully dressed people. In fact during these days, Jaisalmer gets a chance to parade its exuberant charm to the world.

Some chosen and cherished moments of the glorious and illustrious past and affluent culture are on display. The traditional dances backed by high pitched music take the folk dancers and the audience on a euphoric trip.

The turban-tying competition and Mr. Desert contest add a touch of excitement to the festive celebrations.

The famous Gair dancers and the traditional fire-dancers leave the crowds enchanted whenever they perform.

The grand finale is a trip to the sand dunes where one can enjoy the pleasure of a camel ride and at times also view the musicians and dancers performing on the dunes. All arrangements are made by the Department of Tourism and RTDC.
