Through the desert fringe
From Nagaur, the highway runs south-east through farmland and scrub towards Pushkar, then crosses the low Aravalli ridge into Ajmer. At about 143 km, a household can usually be loaded at dawn and placed in an Ajmer home by afternoon. Ask for a dedicated vehicle and agree the expected arrival in writing.
Leaving Nagaur
Homes inside the walled town may need a smaller vehicle or a carry to bring goods to the truck. Colonies on the main roads are easier. Avoid the days of Nagaur's cattle fair, usually in January or February.
Over the hill from Pushkar
The road from Pushkar to Ajmer climbs and descends a short ghat over the hills, with bends that need care in a loaded truck. Ask for heavy cartons and furniture loaded low and tied, and glass packed in its own cartons.
Where in Ajmer
Ajmer's old city, around the dargah, the markets and Diggi Bazaar, is crowded with narrow lanes where a truck can't go. Vaishali Nagar, on the Pushkar side, and the areas around Ana Sagar and the Civil Lines mix houses and apartments, and newer colonies spread along the Jaipur and Beawar roads. Tell the mover the exact address and floor.
The Urs and the Pushkar fair
During the annual Urs at the dargah of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, very large numbers of pilgrims come to Ajmer and the old city is packed for days. The Pushkar camel fair, around Kartik Purnima in October or November, fills the roads between the two towns. Check both before fixing a moving day.
Heat and cold
From about April to June, both towns are extremely hot; start loading at first light and keep candles, cosmetics, medicines and electronics in your own vehicle. Winter nights are cold, especially in Nagaur. The monsoon is short, with occasional heavy showers.
October and late February to March are usually the most comfortable windows, if you avoid the fair dates.
Schools, railways and transfers
Ajmer is known for its old schools and colleges, and has railway workshops, the state's education board and many government offices. Transfers and admissions make up many moves on this route. If an employer is paying, ask what documents they need; every mover we work with provides a GST invoice.
Marble and heavy pieces
Nagaur district's Makrana marble is in many homes on this route, in tabletops, statues and flooring offcuts kept for repairs. Ask for marble to be packed upright in thick padding or wooden frames, and listed separately with photographs.
Apartments in Ajmer
Newer apartment blocks may ask for notice of a move, set moving hours and need a lift booking. Ask the association a week ahead; our guide to society NOCs and lift bookings explains what to ask.
