Introducing village stay life with local family in India

On 29th Aug, we met Feriya from turkey who was interested in doing village stay tour with us for couple of nights before she started with her yoga/ayurVeda retreat in rishikesh area. 

As it was a discounted trip and she was a friend's friend. So I could take Anita and Sapna with us. I thought after dropping Feriya in rishikesh we could have a few days Holiday around Himalaya area hiking etc. 

We drove through the off the beaten road that goes along with the Ganges with lots of small villages around. It's very interesting and quite with nice govava or other fruit stops. 

First day we gave her some nice walk around the village fields and she loved sleeping on the roof top as the weather was so nice + you could see so so many stars. Village is really a wonderful places to escape after busy Delhi life. 

Feriya visited the families around the village. Our village has only 16 houses and most of all are just related. One of my cousin was showing her the paintings she drew and Feriya liked one so much that she wanted to buy it to motivate the cousin, which was so nice. We played a bit of cricket with the kids as well ;-) 

Now today we were already on our adventure after dropping Feriya at her ashram. We made some stops/ some wrong turns and some raining made it special on our way to Chopta and we had to stay 40kms before as it was dark and raining heavily ;-) Part of adventure. 

Meanwhile I have also been organising a tour for a Woman traveling alone to India from Austalia. She is Muslim so was concerned and I made her feel comfortable and she confirmed the booking of Private Rajasthan Tour with one of our family private driver in India.
