Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 96 reviews
Unique stop for Ranthambhore visitors who are looking for interacting with local people who are doing craft work in the beautiful workshop facility. Dhonk is a social startup which aims at providing sustainable jobs to the ex-poachers families and village folks by giving them training in crafts and selling their produce at our fair trade store/ workshop situated at the fateh villa campus.

We visited the facility there where the local villagers have created wonderful crafts, and offer their wares for sale. We learned so much about the importance of this endeavor, and left with one of the best souvenirs from our trip. It's an incredibly beautiful embroidered piece of fabric that will hang in our home. We met the woman who did the handiwork and got a picture with her. We got some fun pajama bottoms with a hand blocked tiger print on it. Our visit was really was delightful.

A place not known to many, but welcomes all. It was a divine experience to pray at the temple. The natural beauty that results into continuous 'Jal Abhishek' is nothing short of miraculous. Must visit this place to seek Lord's blessings and enjoy the mesmerising beauty. Monsoons might be better time to visit given the greenery and seasonal waterfalls.

Dastkar a craft enterprise run by a NGO is captivating. We visited it to check out block printing for which Rajasthan is famed, and were treated to a feast of color and well-made artifacts.Women demonstrated the art of block printing and then took us around the shop.Shawls, kurtas, bedspreads,household linen,birds of all hues - all reasonably priced and in vibrant tints. If in Ranthambore, this is truly worth a visit.

A small community shop promoting the area and woman crafts. A wealth of different types of local handicrafts. We met the young man who draws and paints, selling his wares at a good price for such exceptional work. We purchased a charcoal drawing of a tiger, it was beautiful and so natural looking. Highly recommend a visit.
10. Khandar Fort

The drive is great as the entrance of the Fort is inside the park. We went on a winter afternoon, that's when the wildlife comes out to soak in the sun. We ended up spotting a lot more animals than we did during our safari. The parking can get a little tricky as the parking area is mostly full. We parked on the corner of a road. We also decided to get a guide. I recommend taking the help of a guide as its always nice to have a local to guide you in these confusing forts. Ours took us around, told us about the rich history, took our photos. The walk upto the fort is not strenuous, in fact its quite easy. So dont worry about that. During sundowner, the fort looks absolutely spectacular. Views from the top are amazing! If you are own your own, dont forget to say hi to Lord Ganesh. As our guide said 'this was the headquarters of Lord Ganesh and all the other temples are branches'. A lot of people come from far and wide to see him. This should be on your list if you are in Ranthambore.
