Make the most of your India trip and start planning!
It’s hard to sum up rural Rajasthan in only a few sentences. Of course, as you head away from the cities, life becomes a tad slower and a little less modern: Rabari tribesman living off the fruits of the land, sari-clad ladies churning butter by hand, and men in colourful turbans leading their bullocks through the fields are a common, and enthralling, sight. But rural life is not all camels and homestays and the countryside of the regal state promises a veritable treasure chest of experiences. How about rambling through the hills on horseback, or 4x4ing to veiled shrines? Perhaps you’d like to visit local artists and potters and watch as they craft their masterpieces? Or maybe the great outdoors is more your thing and bird-watching by hidden lakes or leopard-stalking through forgotten temples would be just up your street. It’s time to explore rural Rajasthan…

Beyond the tourist-trodden forts, rural Rajasthan reveals itself in quieter, more authentic moments. In Bishnoi villages, conservation traditions persist as they have for centuries, while in Jawai, leopards prowl ancient granite outcrops beneath starlit skies. The countryside offers unexpected adventures: tracking demoiselle cranes in Kheechan, learning traditional block printing in Bagru, or joining camel treks to remote desert settlements. Village homestays provide opportunities to help churn butter, participate in opium tea ceremonies, or learn ancestral recipes cooked over open flames. Whether cycling between the painted havelis of Shekhawati or witnessing the eerie emptiness of abandoned Kuldhara, rural Rajasthan rewards those willing to venture beyond the guidebook highlights.
