Takeoff description
Pushkar :-Located about 240 KM from Jodhpur towards the NE, it is near Ajmer many pilots have flown here from the 'Savitri Hill' and some other hills there. Takeoff from the Savitri temple behind the lake at Pushkar and from the Nag ridge that runs between Pushkar & Ajmer. The hike to the Nag hill is near Sanjji Chat the highest Road tip on the Nag Hill where it crosses over to Pushkar. Few pilots have landed at a clearing near the Local bus stop at the base of the Nag hill while flying the East side. One needs to be careful of the powerlines there. It is Rocky cliff and hence a demanding take off...
