Raj, the organizator of the tour, is a very nice guy. Thus, it is a little hard for me to write an average review but we were quite disappointed by the tour. We can understand all the excellent reviews this activity has on TripAdvisor but only if you are a tourist and don't have the possibility to meet people or... More

We got to see local village... More

We were picked up in Jodhpur and taken on the tour in a jeep. We visited mid February and were glad we had fleece jumpers. The farming families were relaxed with us taking pictures and it really made us appreciate everything we take for granted. We were amazed at the wildlife enroute, our guide had eagle eyes and picked out... More

We really enjoyed Deepak's trip, we went in convoy with Deepak's jeep with another driver. We saw local village life, families and their lives, potters, printers, weavers. It was great to get out of the chaos of Jodphur for the day and a welcome change from the amazing forts and palaces. The tour was better than expected and one didn't... More

A once in a lifetime experience to meet these people who have a way of life that we might mock but who have found a peace and contentment that we might envy.

The first was a Muslim family that made ceramics, the second was a small farm and we arrived 30 minutes after a cow gave birth and got... More
