5. Pushkar Camel Fair – India
The Pushkar Camel Fair has become more than just a regional livestock sale. It regularly draws more than 400,000 visitors every year, who come to see not only the animals for sale, but also the festivities surrounding the marketplace.
Each year, the fair opens with a camel race, followed by a cricket match between a local Pushkar team who take on random foreign tourists who want to try their hand at the game. There are hundreds of different items for sale, ranging from camels and goats to expensive fabric, jewelry, and clothes.
