Time : 5pm to 11pm.
Entry Fee : Rs.500 (adults) and Rs.300 (children). We have to give a preference of the time we would like to have dinner at. This doesnt make the place chaotic at dinner time.
The Entry fee includes Entertainment, welcome drink (Jal Jeera), Snacks (lot of it) and Dinner (too much of it).
We visited the place on a Saturday and to my amazement, it was not as crowded as we had thought it would be.
The welcome isnt what we are used to, with a Dhol and a person dressed as a Horse dancing at the entrance. Aao ji Sethji Aao he said in typical Rajasthani style..
We entered the reception, and boy was it so beautiful. With painted decoration around the walls and status around us we were already feeling as if we were in other state.
We paid the entry fee and off we are on the huge ground where its a whole village set up. love it already !
We had kind of a guide with us who took us to each of the places. He first gave us to the Welcome drink (Jal Jeera) which was nice and cold.
We went on to get ourselves entertained..
Entertainment includes : Folk Dances, Puppet Show, Pottery, Live singing, Head massage(for men), Mehendi(for females). And its worth every penny.
They give their heart out to each and every customer and make sure that we are satisfied. Have not seen so so so nice people anywhere yet ..
Then followed the snacks..
Snacks comprised on Kachori-dahi and Chat along with tea.. followed by a round of Bajre-ki-roti and Lassun chatni. (I did not click any pic as i was too much engrossed in all the eating :D)
We were back to the ground, but this time we were at the section where there are a few games (to be exact 5). Each game gives you 5 chances at a cost of 10 bucks per coupon. We played (Archery, Bowling, Darts, Rifle shooting).
Finally we went off for dinner at 10.15 and were eating till we heard the bell ring :)
Dinner : was sumptuous. It was amazing. It was awesome. Typical Rajasthani dinner with 3 sabzees, rotis with lots of makkhan, chaas papad, etc.
