Chokhi Dhani
चोखी ढाणी
A folk cultural village modelled on a traditional Rajasthani village. In the evening, you can watch folk dance and music, ride camels, and enjoy a Rajasthani buffet seated on the floor.
Chokhi Dhani is Jaipur's best-known folk-themed resort. Its setting is a village of mud-walled huts, and after dusk the grounds host Kalbeliya dance, puppet shows, acrobatics, magic, fortune-telling and craft performances. Visitors can ride camels and elephants (though this is not recommended). Admission includes a traditional Rajasthani vegetarian dinner (such as dal baati churma), and packages cost about 1000 to 2000 rupees depending on the option (check the official site for details). It is on Tonk Road in the south of the city, about 20 km from the old city, a 40-minute taxi ride. It is best to arrive after 17:00.
