TOWN WALK
Jojawar beckons the visitor to explore it; the small
town is a hidden gem in the county, exploring it on foot accompanied by
one of the staff guides is a great way to experience life here as it
unfolds before your eyes.
JEEP SAFARI
It is said that the real India is its rural areas,
the country around Jojawar boasts of very interesting landscapes, with the
picturesque Aravalli Hills in the east, and broken rocky hills
interspersed with farms and scrub forests all around. The Pre- Cambrian
Aravalli Hills are one of the oldest mountain ranges of the world, and a
geologist’s paradise. The camel herding Rabaris are an ethnic group only
to be found around Jojawar. All this makes our Jeep Safaris the most
popular excursion. Our specially designed late afternoon tours take you to
homesteads of these Rabaris, into farms, through pretty little hamlets
where time seems to have stopped, and we take a break under the shade of a
drooping acacias next to a very beautiful small shrine dedicated to a folk
deity. Some routes had to be excavated so as to see as much in the given
time. Our endeavor is to make your excursions interactive and not merely a
drive in the country. Unlike any other, our jeep safaris are undertaken in
our fleet of classic vintage vehicles – which makes the whole experience
very special. Longer rides to your taste and ability are recommended for
people staying longer.
TRAIN SAFARIS
The train route between the cities of Jodhpur and
Udaipur goes up the scenic Kambli Ghat Pass. One of our favorite
excursions is this daily train service from the station at the start of
the hill section to the highest station in the Aravallis – the Kambli Ghat
station, or the other way round. The engine laboriously and slowly pulls
the train through the most beautiful forests and hills that you get to see
in the state, this one hour ride is really unique as you even get to
interact with the locals who’ll readily share their seats with you and try
their best to make conversation with you while trying to suppress the
surprise and excitement of sitting next to a foreigner from far away
lands! The drive to and back from the stations in your resplendent vintage
Chevy, taking a break for tea and cucumber sandwiches at a tiny Forest
Rest House. The entire excursion is escorted by one of our staff guides,
HORSE RIDES
For the rider, our horse rides on the horses from
the Rawla’s stables is a way to get into areas where no vehicle can go,
accompanied by one of the family members you’d not only be guided but
introduced to the land and its people. Half a day to Full day rides are
recommended to the visitor. We specialize in organizing long distance
horse rides of 2 to 7 days.
