Contribution of nearby pulsars to the cosmic rays observed at Earth has been studied. It is found that the experimental bound on amplitude of cosmic ray anisotropy may produce significant constraint on the efficiency of converting pulsar rotational energy to emitted particles kinetic energy. Cosmic ray fluxes from two well known nearby gamma ray pulsars, namely the Vela and Geminga pulsars, are estimated. The analysis suggests that observed bound on cosmic ray anisotropy restricts the contributions of the Vela and the Geminga pulsars to at most 1 % of the observed cosmic rays below the knee.
