Village Tour Pushkar – Pushkar which literary means ‘blue lotus flower’ is one of the oldest towns of India. Famous for its traditionality and heritage, Pushkar’s lineage comes from the cultures of Rajasthani villages. It’s a city full of colourful temples, ghats and astounding themed cafes. Pushkar is also famously known as ‘The Rose Garden of Rajasthan’ due to the history of flower farming. For someone who is visiting Rajasthan, must for sure explore the weary old streets of Pushkar and feel the essence of its spirituality.

But what good it is to be like a tourist, who comes and touches the superfluous gates of the city but doesn’t dive deep into its history and heritage. We believe cities just like us – humans have their soul. To feel the real spirit of an Indian city, you must discover the authenticity of its villages and its dwellers. Only then, you can step in the shoes of an Indian and feel how is to be a native to this incredible country. What we are today comes from what we were yesterday. It is important to unearth the past to understand the actualities of today.

To tackle the scorching heat of Rajasthan, the Rajasthan village tour will start sharp at 4:30 PM. You must report at the designated time so that we reach our spot at a perfect time. The ride is of about 10 km long and because the route is not very smooth, we will ride through either scooty or bikes. One of the added advantages of two-wheelers is openness. Rural India is known for large open fields and lush green agricultural lands. The bike ride will help you to enjoy the open air and scenic views of our verdant agricultural fields.

To give you most out of this tour, we will choose a pure Rajasthani family who is going to be your host for the rest of the evening. By the time you will reach the house and settled down, sunset would be at its perfect timing. So, grab your hot cup of tea and find yourself an apt place to enjoy the tangerine sun drowning down in the ocean of brown sand. It is best if you do not miss the dusk, as villages of Rajasthan are also known for its beautiful serene dusk on the desert front.

The next part of the tour is the most exciting. After you have had a quiet time watching the serene sunset in the village, get ready to explore the myriad mechanisms of the villages, its dwellers, and of course animals. We don’t want to loosen your excitement by telling you all the spoilers here itself, but to make sure you remain excited about the tour, let us give you a little overview of the rest of the tour.

The most awaited part of the entire village tour is the authentic dinner time with the host family and your fellow tourists.
