Description

Your day begins in the sacred town of Pushkar, one of the most spiritually vibrant and culturally rich destinations in Rajasthan. The experience starts with a guided walking tour through the ghats and narrow lanes of Pushkar. As you walk along the sacred Pushkar Lake, you’ll see pilgrims performing rituals, priests chanting prayers, and the reflection of hundreds of temples shimmering in the holy water. You’ll also explore Brahma Temple, one of the few temples in the world dedicated to Lord Brahma. Along the way, your guide will share stories about Pushkar’s deep spiritual roots, its role in mythology, and its connection with the annual Camel Fair. The walk isn’t just about temples; it’s about soaking in the vibe of Pushkar’s vibrant life — from sadhus meditating by the lake to local artisans crafting souvenirs. You might also get the chance to try a cup of authentic masala chai at a street-side stall or taste Pushkar’s famous malpua sweets. After soaking in the atmosphere of Pushkar, you’ll take a short 1-hour drive to Narwar, a peaceful village nestled amidst the Aravalli hills. Unlike the tourist-heavy areas, Narwar offers a raw, untouched charm where time seems to slow down. As you approach, the landscape shifts from bustling temple towns to serene countryside views dotted with farmlands, mud houses, and smiling villagers going about their daily routines. Village Walk & Cultural Immersion in Narwar Upon arrival, you’ll step into a world that feels beautifully timeless. A guided village walk introduces you to Narwar’s everyday life - children playing barefoot on dusty lanes, and elders gathered under the shade of a tree, sharing stories. It’s not just sightseeing; it’s about engaging in conversations and learning how villagers live in harmony with nature and tradition. Cooking Experience with a Local Family One of the highlights of Narwar is an intimate cooking session with a local family. In their warm and welcoming home, you’ll be invited into their kitchen, where the family will share recipes passed down for generations. Together, you’ll cook authentic Rajasthani dishes — from fresh rotis puffed on a clay chulha (stove) to hearty lentils, spiced curries, and perhaps even a sweet treat. This isn’t a staged performance; it’s about joining in the rhythm of their daily life, learning age-old techniques, and enjoying the flavors of a home-cooked meal served with love. Evening – Sundowner at Narwar Fort As the day winds down, you’ll head to the terrace of Narwar Fort, a hidden gem overlooking the rolling Aravalli hills and the rustic village below. With the golden hues of sunset painting the sky, it’s the perfect spot to relax with a refreshing drink in hand. The air feels calm, the views stretch endlessly, and the quiet serenity makes it a moment to remember. While some guests enjoy the sundowner, others may continue chatting with the villagers, deepening their connection with the place. Later in the evening, get a drop off to your hotel.
