Amazing wildlife & cultural experience! 🐫 - Ashok is a very kind, considerate & well spoken tour guide. We felt safe, cared for & never pressured.
The tour was a lovely insight into authentic life outside of Jodhpur city. We saw beautiful wildlife in their natural habitat, even endangered Siberian cranes!
Ashok is dedicated to his family, culture & heritage. He is passionate about supporting local community, preserving cultural traditions & caring for the environment.
It was our absolute pleasure to share time with him on this safari!
With gratitude & blessings!

A must do Village Tour near Jodphur - Today Ashok took us around his amazing Bishnoi village in a Mahindra jeep and showed us all the amazing crafts and traditional skills in the village. We first visited a family-run pottery business. Absolutely amazing the wheel turning skills of the craftsmen. Ashok explained the history and methods used by the family and gave us a valuable insight into the process. Then onto his own house and his brother demonstrated rug weaving. So beautiful. We ended up buying 2 beautiful rugs to take home to NZ. Then onto an Opium ceremony and turban wrapping experience. In 3 hours we learnt more about Indian culture and especially village enterprises than we have since being here. Can’t recommend highly enough. We will be telling our mates to visit!!

Amazing experience - We had the most amazing experience when we went on the village tour with Chhotu,he picked us up and took us to his village.We first went to see a family of farmers,then on to a potters home where we watch clay pots being made on a manual wheel ,then got the option to have ago ourselves.From there he took us to his own family home ,they are weavers ,his parents demonstrated the art of weaving which was incredible what they were producing,Chhotu children were there also his brothers children , they were to meet the youngest a small baby,up to 16 years , his wife & sister-in law cooked us a traditional lunch which was lovely.Chhotu mentioned that they also have Homestay there too ,you stay in a traditional dung hut & that they also give cooking lessons,so my husband and I asked if we could have a lesson,we ended up there all day .His wife and sister in law showed us how to make 6 traditional Rajasthan dishes 2 types of bread. & chai tea .When it was all cooked mostly on an open fire we sat with the family & ate it ,it was fantastic,it will always be a memory we will cherish to get that opportunity & as a family they were so hospitable thank you Kim & Steve uk

"Immersive Village Safari: A Glimpse into Rural Life" - Dear Mr. Chhotaram,
Thank you very much for organizing such a wonderful village safari.
It was a heartwarming experience to connect with the local culture and people.
The hospitality we received from Mr. Ashok made the journey even more special and memorable.
I'll definitely recommend in my network who will come for Jodhpur sightseeing.
Best regards,
Brij

A wonderful window into the villages of Rajasthan - Our tour with Mr Ashok was one of the best experiences in Jodhpur. Lost in the city, we usually forget to experience the true flavour of Rajasthan. Our day was filled with spotting interesting endemic flora and fauna while surrounded by peacocks. The activities that he acquainted us with such as block printing and pottery truly amazed me. It was not staged at all. We visited houses of local artisans and saw them create art. We visited his own house where his family works as weavers and saw how beautifully they bring such art forms to life. Followed by this his wife put before us one of the most delicious and true flavours of Rajasthan for lunch. I can never forget the taste of that curry and bajre ki roti. It was a wholesome trip which dominated the first half of the day. The weather was pleasant which added to the beauty. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to go beyond the city and explore what a Rajasthani village feels like. The warm hospitality of Mr Ashok, his knowledge about Rajasthan and his multilingual nature make him one of the best guides in the city.

Amazing day meeting the Salawas tradition - Amazing day by hand of Chhotaram, he took us to the traditional places where they grow food, do the ceramics, cook and do their traditional interlocked weaving and many other interesting cultural activities to learn the old ways. We finished into his house having a traditional meal with his family and the flavours of the area. Don’t miss buying a Durry, only 40 families left doing this amazing craftmanship!

Good day out - Good insight to all events mentioned. Good informative guide, who explained the Bishnoi villages to us. There was no pressure to buy anything but the offer was always there. I feel I need to mention there was no bottle of water given so please make sure you bring your own!
