The Savitri temple trek climbs roughly 200 steps plus a paved path to Ratnagiri Hill, or the cable car does it in ten minutes, and both end at the best view in Pushkar.
The Savitri temple sits on Ratnagiri Hill above Pushkar: this guide covers the trek, the cable car and the sunrise reward.
The trek
- The climb: roughly 200 stone steps and a paved path, a Neemach parallel at Pushkar scale.
- The cable car: the ropeway alternative; the queue advice applies at sunset.
- The reward: the full Pushkar Lake panorama, with the identification guide handy for every temple and ghat below.
Practical differences decide the choice. The climb takes about forty-five minutes up and thirty down, at an effort that suits most reasonably fit visitors and empties of shade quickly after nine. The ropeway removes the effort entirely and runs continuously, though the sunset queue is the known cost, so ride up early and walk down if you want the best of both. The summit pays either way: the full lake, its fifty-two ghats and the town in one panorama. Sunrise is the connoisseur’s slot; bring water in every season.
