We were lucky enough to visit Rusirani village and get an idea of life in a Hindu village. Giri was an excellent and very welcoming guide that took an obvious pride in his history. We had an excellent lunch, got to interact with the curious and open family that hosted us and got a very positive feeling about this community project. It was interesting to develop a deeper understanding of the contrasts that exist on our globe. I highly recommend this experience and would rate it as one of the highlights of our first-time India trip.

If you're looking for something different then this is for you. From my first chats with Giri I knew he was going to look after me. He organised my travel from Jaipur, my visit to the village and then my onward travel to Agra. The drive was long and the roads a little bumpy (but not really that bad), but by the end of the day I had had a wonderful experience that will live with me for a long time. I believe some or all of the money goes to help fund a school in the village so even better. Thanks Giri for a wonderful day.

We loved our day trip to Rusirani. We learned more about Rajasthan rural area, people and nature. We had a delicious lunch and had a pleasant relaxing stay. I do recommend if you are in the area. One thing I would have done differently is to use our tour company car to drive to the mountain road and then reach the village in the provided Jeep. We road Jeep from Jaipur (4 hours) and it was not safe and uncomfortable. I would not advise to do that. Ask your driver to drive you to the closest meeting point near village and asked to be picked up after you are done.

This was one of our favourite parts of our trip to India. Staying with local families, eating amazing home cooked food and watching village life go back. A unique chance to learn more about India's rural communities, ask questions and have interesting chats with lovely Gupi, our guide and understand village life and traditions. A must do if you're visiting Rajasthan. Thanks you!

We visited Rusi Rani on a tour three years ago -- on our recent trip to India with friends, we made sure to include a second visit for our group! We love the experience of sitting and visiting with people of the area, sharing a meal, visiting the ancient Hindu ruins and also seeing the sights on the way to the village. We made a stop at a Hindu holy site built around baths and also in the middle of a little village for chai tea on our way to Rusi Rani. Our group of 10 traveled in two jeeps, one open air and one closed. I will say that the roads are awfully bumpy and it is an all-day trip from Jaipur. Giri, who we met on our previous trip, was also our guide for this trip and he is so knowledgeable and speaks excellent English. We were pleased to notice improvements in the village infrastructure -- restrooms with running water and solar panels -- that had been added since our last trip. Giri said that the money received from the tours (usually one a week) was being used for girls' education and village infrastructure. The villagers were very friendly, especially the children. You might want to think about bringing some bubbles, markers & paper or other small activities to play with the kids -- they enjoyed my pathetic attempts at drawing animals! I would highly recommend this tour if you are on the "Golden Triangle" tour and want a day away from touristy sites and vendors and also want to improve education for girls at the same time.
