The drive, and what it needs
NH-48 runs the whole way and it is a good road - two and a half hours if you leave at a sensible hour, three if you leave at six in the evening. Anybody offering you an Ajmer escorts booking at an hour’s notice has not made that journey and is going to disappoint you by about four hours.
The town itself divides sharply. Around the dargah everything is crowded, devotional and watched; around Ana Sagar and the newer hotels on the lake side it is ordinary. Bookings here go to the second kind of place, and it is worth arranging the room before you ring rather than after.
Pushkar is eleven kilometres further on and a different proposition again - it is a pilgrimage town, it is largely vegetarian and dry, and a fair number of the people asking about Ajmer are really staying there. Say so if that is the case, because it changes the plan.
Meenal and Kusum are the two who make this run, and both want a day’s notice rather than an evening’s. Kusum has family three hours the other way, in Sikar, so she knows exactly what this drive costs.
The three weaves
Two hours
a two-hour booking, one man
- ₹10,000outcall
Three hours
three hours, and one man only
- ₹20,000outcall
Full night
dusk to morning, one man
- ₹40,000outcall
₹40,000 buys the night, and that is how Ajmer nearly always goes - five hours of road wrapped round a two-hour booking suits nobody. The figure does not move for the kilometres and never has.
