Chhotu, our guide was awesome - very friendly and knowledgable and happy to answer all our questions on all kinds of topics related to India! We thoroughly enjoyed sharing a meal at his village home, observing village life, local handcrafts like weaving and ceramics and spotting wildlife. Definitely recommend.
By far the best experience we have had on our trip! We were picked up at 8am for a safari geep tour to the Bishnois villages. We saw gazelle, deer and peacocks on the way. First we met a lovely family who explained the ceremonial ritual and through our guide told us fantastic stories. We were lucky enough to be here at the start of Holi festival so they were painting their floors in anticipation. We then drove to a potter who showed us how they make clay pots to hold water and other items they make, how they kiln them on an open kiln. It was so interesting and finally our wonderful guide, Chotaram took us to his house where his parents showed us their weaving. We had lunch made by Chotoram's wife in their house. The love the family have for one another and the natural laughter between them was infectious. If we ever come to Jodhpur again, we will definitely stay at their home stay. The food was out of this world and we learnt so much from Chotoram. He even bought us a delicious sugar cane drink to try on our arrival back into the city! Honestly, I cannot recommend him enough. A genuinely lovely man, full of interesting knowledge and a great horrible history lesson you do not receive from other guides! We loved every minute of it!
Great and very informative tour! Ashok taught us a lot about his culture and the Indian crafts and the food in the end was just delicious:) I can only recommend to do the tour with him
We didn’t know exactly what to expect from this tour but really turned out to be a highlight of our trip. Our guide Chhotuh was waiting for us at the pickup point in a jeep as advertised. Chhotuh was a perfect guide. He is from the Bishnoi village so really is the perfect guide with intimate knowledge that was so interesting to learn about their customs and life. Chhotuh’s wife cooked us traditional foods over an open fire. Although there was cutlery, Chhotu showed me how to eat with hands only which is an experience and surprisingly practical. This really is a great day - highly recommended!
Had to cancel due to a medical condition. Asked for a refund as the tour had already took the money from my bank card. Was told by the organiser I’d be refunded. Still have not received this refund.
