Chokhi Dhani Village
This living museum is an absolute must-see in Jaipur
Chokhi Dhani in Jaipur exists as both resort accommodations and as a living museum. Even if you aren't staying at Chokhi Dhani's resort, the living museum is a must visit during your stay in Jaipur. Open in the evening from approximately 6pm (call for exact hours), Chokhi Dhani is a replica of a Rajasthani village, showcasing every aspect of Rajasthani culture.
The entry fee is nominal, only about Rs. 300. Upon entry you are free to explore and wander through all of the small mud huts and buildings that make up this replica village. Even on a Tuesday evening, in February no less, Chokhi Dhani was alive with visitors -- most of whom seemed to be Indian tourists and families.
There's something for everyone, at every turn. There were various performances going on -- from traditional Rajasthani dances and music, to a puppet show and magician. At every step there was something new to see.
Chokhi Dhani is also very family friendly. Kids will surely enjoy a camel ride, elephant ride, and some performances. Dinner is also included in the entry fee, which consists of a no-frills, typical Rajasthani meal.
A MUST see for all visitors to Jaipur.
