Nagaur Camel Fair- over already?

camelfair

Hello,

I am in Jodhpur and was interested in attending the Nagaur Camel Fair. All the information on the internet gives the dates as February 25-28. My expectation was that it would be similar to Pushkar with the camel trading taking place during the week before the fair activities start. I called up the two Nagaur hotels listed in the LP guidebook and both said that the camel trading is over and all the camels have left town already.

Was the camel trading taking place earlier in February? Is the fair over already? I don't really care about the fair activities and just wanted to go to see the camel trading take place but obviously if both hotels have said that it is over, I assume the dates posted everywhere are incorrect.

Any info is greatly appreciated.

I just wanted to add that a search of the internet showed one webpage that listed Jan 25-28 as the dates of the fair and around 15 webpages that had either Feb 25-28 or even Feb 20-March 8. Having talked with the hotels in Nagaur, I assume it's over but any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
