Private Cab from Jaipur to Ajmer
A private taxi from Jaipur to Ajmer covers approximately 132 km and takes between 2 and 2.5 hours. Ajmer is one of the most significant pilgrimage destinations in Rajasthan and among the most visited Sufi shrines in South Asia. The Dargah Sharif of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti — the Ajmer Dargah — draws pilgrims from across India and abroad throughout the year, with particularly high footfall during Urs (the annual urs festival) and on Thursdays, which are considered especially auspicious for visiting the dargah.
Beyond pilgrimage, Ajmer is also a practical travel hub: it serves as the nearest major city to Pushkar (14 km from Ajmer), home to the Ana Sagar Lake, Taragarh Fort, the Adhai Din Ka Jhopra mosque and the Akbari Fort. For travellers covering Ajmer and Pushkar together in a single trip from Jaipur, a private cab is the most flexible transport arrangement.

Jaipur to Ajmer and Pushkar Combined Trip
Most travellers from Jaipur combine Ajmer and Pushkar in a single trip, as Pushkar is located only 14 km beyond Ajmer via the Nag Pahar road. A combined Jaipur to Ajmer to Pushkar day trip by private cab is the standard booking for this route. The cab covers the Ajmer Dargah and sightseeing first, then continues to Pushkar for the ghats, Brahma Temple and Pushkar bazaar. Full route and sightseeing details for the Pushkar leg are on the Jaipur to Pushkar taxi page.
For a combined Jaipur-Ajmer-Pushkar day trip, a departure from Jaipur by 7 AM allows arrival in Ajmer by 9:30 AM, covers the Dargah and sightseeing by 1 PM, travels to Pushkar by 2 PM, and returns to Jaipur by 7 PM to 8 PM comfortably. Early departure is recommended especially during Pushkar Fair season (October-November) when Pushkar roads experience high footfall.
