If you want to get an experience of the tribal India, Bishnoi Village safari is the attraction around jodhpur best for you. Which is organization by Chhotaram Prajapat(Weaver). Bishnoi village of Jodhpur, Rajasthan is scenic beauty marked with Khejri trees and deer. Also in the village is the Guda Bishnoi Lake. It is an natural lake, perfect as a picnic spot. A person interested in exotic wild life & nature should definitely visit this village. The Bishnoi community inhabits the village. The villagers are staunch worshippers of nature in all its forms, specially the sanctity of plant and animal life. They even pray to the green trees and animals that inhabit their land. In this world of exploitation everywhere, they make every effort to conserve the environment. Another fact about the Bishnoi tribals is that they worship Lord Vishnu and are vegetarians.

I went on the village safari with Ashok together with my two sisters, it was a really nice experience! Ashok is so kind and can tell you all about the local traditions and culture. We had an amazing time visiting different families and spotting wild animals in the nature around the village. Would really recommend!

Ashok took us on a village safari whish was very nice. We went to see a family that made pottery of clay all by hand. It was really cool to see them do it and they sold some nice craft for a small price. Then we went to a family that showed us how they prepare opium and some other typical food of the region. All the while Ashok told us a lot about the cast system here and other stories of the region. We then went on a safari, ate desert berries from the trees, saw lots of wildlife and went to a natural water well. It was a lovely tour that then ended at a fabric recycling factory where they had the most beautiful scarfs table rugs, bed sheets etc.

We were very impressed with this tour. My son and I kept in contact with the organiser on the viator message platform after our arrival in India. As our hotel was in the old city and too narrow for the jeep to enter we arranged to meet the tour host at the clocktower. He arrived early and we set off. We saw some animals on the way camels and deer. We saw how the opium ceremony was done, we visited a weaving homestead and a pottery workshop and had a fantastic vegetarian lunch with a local family. The guide was very knowledgable and told us a lot about the local community. It was an amazing experience to find out about Indian rural life within local familes. I would 100 per cent recommend this tour. It is also good value for money.

Fantastic journey! Absolute incredibly informative, some of the nicest food served by some beautiful women, and overall fantastic experience, got to see a lot of the local wildlife, and the fact that they maintain the business in the family made it feel even more real and exciting.

We did a 1/2 day village Safari with Ashok driving a Mahindra Thar. He is smart presentable and communicates well in Hindi and in reasonable English. We saw some Deer, Nilgai and Black bucks on the way. We stopped at a block printer’s and a pottery maker’s place. Wonderful experience. Bought bed sheets. Final stop over at the Prajapat home where he showed us dhurry weaving. We bought that too. Ended with a wonderful home cooked simple meal - bajra roti, sabzi, kadi and rice. The whole experience was extremely warm and hospitable. They have nine cottages at their homestay. Very comfortable and well appointed. I had to use their toilet and trust me it’s Krishna Gopal certified!!!
My wife wants to come back and stay here for a day for sure.
Strongly recommend this place. I am told they recently won an award for the best Rural Homestay.

Had an excellent day with Ashok as our guide walking us through the different aspects of village life and the different crafts and trades that are well and truly alive. Ashok picked us up at our hotel in Jodhpur and drove us about an hour away from the city where we spotted some black bucks and then further on to craftsmen in different villages. We got to see (and do!) block printing, pottery and weaving and then finished up with a lovely home cooked meal at the Prajapati family residence. They also have the facility of a home stay which we hope to enjoy on our next trip!

Visited Jodhpur just for 2 days and choose to book half day village Safari, that was great experience! We saw many animals like peacocks deers, blue bulles and black buck! Gide was very informative, he told a lot of things about culture life and history of this place. We saw the process of making clay pots and tried to do it ourselves!
In the end we had an amazing experience to have authentic dinner with very nice and kind family.
I recommending this tour to everyone who wants to know more about real life out of big city.
Thanks to our guide Chhotaram for very informative tour and for sharing such important things about real culture and life.
