Review of: Bishnoi Village Safari Half Day Tour
We were hosted by Chhotaramji for this tour and this tour was the highlight of our trip . Right from the pick up , to all the Knowledge shared in our journey , the spotting of the black buck family and every possible animal we could see in that area , the visit to the potters house and the demonstration and experience of doing it hands on by ourselves , the durry weaving experience and the most delicious meal that we ate on the trip - everything was just spot on. The experience helped us root back to the different Indian cultures of different states . If you are in Jodhpur , this activity / trip is a MUST do . You will take back only happy memories and lasting experiences .…

It was a wonderful experience to explore our roots of rich culture with such a great host was just like cherry on the top of the cake.. The local meal with the family and the hands on pottery experience; we would love to have it again and again... Thanks a lot to the families that have kept the local art alive...…

Review of: Bishnoi Village Safari Half Day Tour
I had a fabulous half day trip with Chotu . We started by driving through the nature and observing the unique wildlife of the area . Then we visited the Farmers house where we witness the beautiful Opium ceremony . A beautiful family in a cow dung traditional house. Chotu explained in details how they lived and the struggles of keeping tradition in the modern time . I could also ask the family questions via our guide and understand better the details of their life .⁸ We went on to the Pottery makers , which are near by but of totaly different cast (& religion). It is beautiful to witness the co existing & respect of the different traditional tribes & casts in rural Rajhastan and to see how they invite each other to their big wedding ceremones. The Pottery family was fantastic. We witnessed the Making of the pots and even tried to make one by ourselves. Incredible skill of generations of craft people. Again our Guide explained in details where the materials come from and where the family sells the potterie. We then went to visit the Weaving family. Another Incredible craftsman cast of their own . We witnessed the Unique (to all of India) style of weaving and again got detailed explanations regarding the origin of this disappearing technique and the Incredible amount of time used to manufacture then. We where invited for lunch at the family house and could try the local Millet bread and local wild vegetables. The food was excellent. We ended back in Jodhpur by the afternoon. I hace visited Rajhastan few times already and I am was only interested in the real experiences that are not touristic or made for tourists. The day was exactly that and the meetings and knowledge where genuine. Highly recommend to those who wish to see and interact with the real traditional crafts and people of Rajhastan. Thank you Chotu for a beautiful day…
