The Nagaur fair runs on its own calendar, a multi-week trading season rather than a fixed three-day festival, which changes how you plan it.
The shape of 2027
- The window: the fair traditionally opens in late January and runs through February, peaking in its first ten days; exact 2027 dates arrive with the official notification.
- The day that matters: the opening stretch carries the biggest animal markets and the deepest colour; the long tail is for serious traders, not visitors.
- The pairing: it chains with the Camel Festival month, a late-January Rajasthan trip can catch both; the transport guide covers the run.
Booking logic: Nagaur town’s own beds are basic, most visitors base in Bikaner and day-trip it.
