Rajasthan Villages
Rajasthani rural lifestyle is worth a see; more worthy is experiencing it! There can be no better way to understand a great culture and lifestyle than living with such people. A stay of a couple of nights with a rural family in their own farmland can prove to be a welcome introduction to the unique agricultural practices, customs and eating habits. Festivals with people performing rituals and ceremonies are common. Live preparations of mouthwatering Rajasthani dishes and relishing them later is an opportunity nobody can afford to miss!

A few entrepreneurs have come up with many such interesting ideas in which the tourists are provided more that the usual levels of comforts of stay without ever giving the impression of commercialization. Many farm retreats located in Shekhawati region have also tastefully mixed up sightseeing of havelis in an otherwise leisure-filled stay. Visits to the village (on camels, horses, jeeps, camel-carts or bicycles) are also organized for better introduction to Indian family and social systems. Many have come up with the idea of eco-friendly living - chemical free and completely biodegradable. A number of them offer Yoga sessions in perfect sylvan surroundings where only the calls of peacocks occasionally break the silence.

Definitely it proves quite a rewarding experience. For me it always had been a pleasant reminder to my right to have fresh air and my forbidden "early to bed and early to rise" habit. For my tourists, however, it is the first important step in living the REAL RAJASTHAN.
