Duration : 3 Days
Destinations covered : Jodhpur, Kharda, Narlai,
Kumbhalgarh]Travel
Rajasthan and explore the hinterland of this magnificent
land. Spend some time away from the hustle and bustle of
chaotic city life, and view the colorful lifestyle of the
villages, which will take your breath away. In remote
villages, the colorful turban clad men breath life that is
palpable, carrying in their jaunty strides, the spirit that
is their destiny.
Religion is the way of life in these remote hamlets. Each
home has a separate room where they offer prayers and seek
benevolence. The images of local deities daubed with
vermilion can be seen outside every village.
Camel ride…the best way to view villages
Camel ride is specially recommended to view the various
colors of the villages in Rajasthan. Camping in close
vicinity to the villages and participating in all aspects of
village life is an experience that you would cherish for the
rest of your life.
Green fields…the best attraction
Agricultural practices in Rajasthan date back to the time of
Indus valley civilization and observing them is an
experience in itself to cherish for a lifetime. Camels and
sometimes buffaloes are used for pulling the plough and most
of the farmers wait for the rains to water their fields.
Three important crops grown here are wheat, corn and
millets. Take a tour in the green field and watch women
milking the cattle while the elderly and young take them out
to pastures for grazing and when you are tired and feel
thirst, take a bite of watermelon, which is a perfect way to
quench your thirst
The most admirable sights
Some of the most admirable sights include women around a
community well, people sitting in a group and discussing
everything from world politics to domestic issues and the
assemblage of children in an open air school. People are so
friendly and hospitable that they would offer you almost
everything without expecting anything in return.
