Chokhi Dhani village culture tour with dinner by car
Full description
A reconstructed village, and it works better than it should
Chokhi Dhani is a built-from-scratch Rajasthani village on twenty acres an hour south of Jaipur, opened in 1990. It is entirely a construction, and it is also the only practical way to see the state's folk performance traditions in one evening rather than across a fortnight of travel.
Indian families come here in enormous numbers, which is part of why it does not feel like a show put on for foreigners.
Walking round
Traditional huts, craft demonstrations, and performers scattered across the site rather than on one stage. Nothing is scheduled for you — you wander and things happen.
Kalbeliya, danced by the snake-charmer community, all shoulder and spine, recognised by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage. Ghoomar, the Rajput women's circle dance with the skirts that flare on the turn. Bhopa-Bhopi, husband-and-wife narrative singers performing epics in front of a painted scroll.
Plus puppet shows, acrobats, magicians and fire performers as the evening builds.
The other things
Camel, horse and bullock-cart rides. Mehendi artists who will paint your hands in ten minutes — insist on natural brown henna and refuse anything sold as "black henna", which contains PPD and burns skin.
Potters, palm readers, archery, and a boating lake.
Dinner
A full Rajasthani thali served traditionally: you sit on a mat, eat off a brass plate, and servers keep refilling until you stop them. Dal baati churma, gatte ki sabzi, ker sangri, bajra roti with ghee, buttermilk, and gur to finish.
Vegetarian throughout, and unlimited.
Practical
Around five hours including the hour's drive each way.
Busiest at weekends and through the winter wedding season, when it is very busy indeed.
The ground is sand and stone and you will walk more than you expect. Comfortable shoes.
