Oh! What a wonderful time did I spend in one of the famous villages resorts of Rajasthan. It was my birthday when my parents gifted me vacationing in this ethnic resort of Rajasthan. I felt as if I have got an opportunity of a lifetime sojourning amidst rustic ambiance with all modern amenities. No wonder if everybody who has been there or is planning to visit there has felt the same way. At least for me it was very exciting to go this mesmerizing village resort. The next day I boarded my flight and there I flew for Jaipur. My journey was not too long but very thrilling.

My tour agent’s representative was there to greet me at the Jaipur Airport and after traditional welcome he drove me to this exciting resort. My journey from airport to the resort was full of imaginations anticipating about what was to follow. Ah! The very sight of the resort filled me with relaxation. I was welcomed in a traditional style even there. I was given a welcome drink and a bouquet of flowers. My parents had done advance reservations so I checked in my suite and relaxed there for the day.
With the chirping of the birds I woke up in the morning and decided to tour around the place. I must say the tranquility of the place, which I otherwise couldn’t feel as I am from a metro city, took me over. I got back to my suite and took some refreshment. Chowkhi Dhani is a real “beautiful hamlet” that has retained the rural charm of Rajasthan with a pinch of modernity. I was amazed to see the 59 cottages, 33 royal cottages, 8 Haveli Suits, 4 Conferences Halls, an ethnic restaurant Bindola, a multicuisine restaurant Aarogosa, an outdoor barbeque Kesar Kyari , Chaupal, Chandi Mahal Bar, Rhun Jhun – Discotheque *** bar, Kesariya – The Sansha Spa. And guess what my favorites amnong these were the discotheque and spa center.

I actually experienced the magic of spa at the Spa Center in the resort. It was so sedating and worth experiencing. I came back to my suite after the therapy and when did I fall asleep, I myself don’t know.

I woke up after sometime and my taste buds then wanted a treat. No time did I waste in rushing to the restaurant and quenched my appetite. Wow! I felt that all those delectable cuisines were for me. It was so good to relish all those savories.

My evening was an affair of fun and excitement as I visited the Chowkhi Dhani Village. It was a perfect place to wind out. The live performances by the folk artists made me so thrilled that even I did not hesitate to let my foot loose to the rocking folk numbers played by the artists. I moved for some adventurous rides from this spot and enjoyed a lot out there trying each ride. My favorite was the elephant ride where I felt like a princess of bygone eras who came to intimate with the subjects. But that doesn’t mean that I didn’t like the horse, bullock cart and tonga ride there. Each one had its own charm.

The Tal Tailiya village lake here attracted me at once and no second thoughts were required from my end to enjoy a boat cruise here. Ecstasy or ambiance whatsoever may be the reason, but I remember, I was humming some melodies at that time like the actress of old Hindi movies playing with the water.

Coming back from the lake I saw some ladies were hoarding up a place. I was too curious to know what was going on there. I peeped through the crowd and I saw that the attraction was obvious. They were adorning their palms with heena. I also waited there for my turn and was excited to have a little tattoo on my palm. I headed towards other hangouts there Mandir Devra Temple, Museum, Photo Studio. Like other girls even I am fond of shopping. So I shopped a lot from the haat bazaar here. These souvenirs were exclusively for my family and friends. I was tired (somewhat) by this time. I went for the dinner where I was served with unque Rajasthani preparations like gatte ki sabzi, mawa kachori, daal baati churma etc. A gourmet like me was satisfied to the fullest. I came back to my suite after a short walk with the friends I made there. It was so good and halcyon that I did not feel like going back to that mundane life again. But I had to. Next morning was my flight to my home and I was happy to go back to my parents but sad to leave that awesome place. The day finally came when I had to leave for my home and I flew back but with memories of a lifetime.
