Ajmer vs Pushkar: overnight

hallo,

Is it better to sleep in ajmer or in Pushkar? How long is it from on eplace to the other
what are the must see in both places?
Is one day in Pushkar enough to see the place
thx for answer

One day in Pushkar is more than enough to see all the sights and to get hassled all the time. Most people staying there for a long time do it because it is a bacpackers-ghetto and has an important drugscene. The town promotes itself as a holy city, but I experienced it as a major tourist trap.
Ajmer has interesting Muslim monuments (at sunset it is possible to hear Qawwali at the Dargah Sharif shrine).

Pushkar is a bit irritating, but I'd stay there just 'cause it's quiter & more scenic than Ajmer & it has lots of hotels & restaurants. You could rent a pushbike or motorbike in Pushkar & visit Ajmer (15 minutes by motor) & the surrounding area from there.

I am not a fan of Ajmer, not that I like pushkar much either.....

Stay in Pushkar, and drink down in Ajmer.....

I liked Pushkar, Ajmer is a bit of a hole unless you are into shrines. Pushkar is a place to kind of relax and accept..

Lots of people go on about what a drug scene Pushkar has, how you get hassled all the time, how it's not worth visiting. I beg to differ, but I guess it depends on what you intend to do. I was there for three days in October, and loved it. Mind you, I'm not into any drug scene at all, and did not stay at any of the backpacker typ- hotels where that might have been a problem. Stayed at the most FANTASTIC place possible - Seventh Heaven, it's called (google it and check out my recommendation on Tripadviser.com). Be firm with those who hassle you but not rude. I found they left me alone fairly quickly. I spent quite a bit of time just sitting on the Ghat steps drinking in the great sights and sounds, trekked up to the top of a hill behind the town to get a wonderful view as the sun was setting, and up another one at daybreak. Sat on the rooftop terrace of the hotel and looked out over the scene below; went to the only Sikh temple in Pushkar and spent ages talking to the caretaker - such a nice man, and really knowledgeable, met a group of children who, sure, tried to pull a fast one and have me supply them all with chappati flour (which they would have sold right back to the shopkeeper again for cash:), but who eventually realized I wasn't going to fall for that one and were in fact great fun to spend a bit of time with as they showed me their town with great pride; met a teacher at the school (I am a teacher myself, so I always visit schools wherever I am!) who took me to his school, where I spent quite a bit of time meeting the students, all keen to practice their English). Anyway, I thought it was a great place to be, because it was small and you could go everywhere on foot. Even 6 months later, my mind is still filled with all the colourful images of Pushkar! I went to Ajmer on the way down to Udaipur, and although the temples there are definitely worth visiting, I'd suggest staying in Pushkar. Have a great time!
