Overview

This is a guided tour of a village with historic temples, stepwells and a royal palace (now a luxury hotel). The tour guides grew up in the village and still live there and will introduce travellers to its villagers and artisans who themselves can provide guided instruction on their arts, for example pottery, jewellery and stitching. The guides will also take travellers into old temples, access to which is normally restricted to worshipers. The tour provides a unique opportunity to see a real part of India which is not otherwise seen by tourists and to learn about its way of life. The tour is in fact an initiative of the NGO Seva Mandir in order to help preserve and highlight the unique heritage of Delwara and to provide job opportunities to its young guides who run the tour.

The Delwara walk was one of the most meaningful experiences I've had during my trip through India. I was travelling solo, spending a few days in Udaipur and had the chance to do this tour with Himmat. He was very friendly and interested. He explained everything about the community and the project...

We had a fantastic tour just for the two of us and at short notice, which was tailored to our interests and we felt very welcome in the village. Himmat was very knowledgable, interested to exchange ideas and knowledge and a pleasure to walk with. Thank you very much!

I went on a walk with my friendly guide Himmat Das, and learned much about village life, including religion, caste roles, and how conditions have improved greatly. If you want to get close to village life in India, this is an excellent opportunity. Part of my visit to Udaipur.
