Kalakho Village Private Day Trip Including Rajasthani Lunch with Host Family

Kalakho village reflects the real Rajasthan at the core of nature. The tour takes you away from the city as well as the pollution and noise. Come to enjoy the joyful and worthy blend of ancient traditions and know more about the integral life of the Indian villages. During this drive to explore the vibrant villages of Rajasthan, you will be surprised by the views of the clay- plastered walls, thatched roofs, old leafy peepal trees, native customs and ceremonies. The local people are very friendly and you can get a henna tattoo and colourful lakh bangles custom-made for you. Do not forget to taste homemade Masala tea and oh-so- tasty Rajasthani cuisine.

Post breakfast you will be picked up from your centrally located hotel in Jaipur. You will be transferred to Kalakho Village, an amazing place to experience the Rajasthani village, locals, their lifestyle, traditions and culture. Don't forget to experience the most amazing Juggad ride - popularly known as "The Village Mercedes", which is the most popular means of transport used for the transportation of villagers, fodders, cattle and goods. Ride through the babool trees which have got big-big thorns. While on journey, every now and then you will be instructed by your guide to keep your head down to avoid the thorns.

You will be taken to the gigantic farms where you’ll learn all about the crops that are being cultivated, the age-old irrigation methods being practiced and much more. The trip to the villages of Rajasthan is an ideal way to have a glimpse of the rural life of a typical Rajasthani village where people still keep their ways of living hundreds of years behind our city life. They have no electricity and still cook the food over the choolah- (stove made of mud). People in the villages still believe in face to face communication instead of emails and mobile phones.

You would fall in love with Kalakho Village for its extremely friendly people who love sharing their experiences and lifestyle with you. They also like to host tourists as their special guests and have a cup of Indian Masala tea under the shades of a huge tree. You will be invited by villagers to join them for cooking, singing and other activities like you are part of the family. In addition, the guide will also brief you about the tricks of bargaining in the local market and familiarize you with the region’s culture and legends. Also, with homemade henna you can get a henna tattoo made for you to bring back some mementos.

Head back to Jaipur where you will be dropped back off to your hotel upon arrival.
