Join our Rural Rajasthan and Tribal Gujarat tour for a richly rewarding, unique travel experience of the remote tribal villages of these states.
After you have seen the Taj and visited the “Golden Triangle;” after the forts and castles of the glorious Maharaja period in Rajasthan; maybe even after you have visited beautiful South India – return to India to see the traditional rural lifestyles of the people.
This tour ventures away from the chaos and congestion that India’s cities are known for. Step into the vast heartland of the fascinating rural regions with diverse tribal peoples. Each tribe specializes in a different form of handicraft including textiles, vegetable color dye printing, rogan art (wax printing), glass beadwork, camel wool woven shawls, leather articles and more.
Attend the Pushkar Camel Fair and two traditional tribal village fairs! The tour also includes: World Heritage Site of Champaner, the exquisite Sun Temple in Modhera, the birding paradise and wildlife of Little Raan of Kutch and the beautiful villages of Great Raan of Kutch.
Enjoy stays in wonderful restored heritage properties with character and charm. Many are hosted by descendants of the royal families. There will be ample opportunities to interact with the local people.
Experience true heartfelt interaction with the residents (not a tourism set-up!).
