Hike to Bhil Temple

Hear the story of tribal clans

Often history is written by the victors and across Rajasthan, one can hear tales of the royal, ruling clans. Yet there is a tribal story waiting to be told – that of the Bhil tribes, a group of indigenous folk, expert bowmen who served as warriors in the Rajput and Marwari battles. Set off on a hike to Udaipur’s low-rising hills – where the Bhil tribes currently reside. As the city drops away, you can glimpse a landscape that has changed little from the times of the epic poem, Mahabharata, which records the deeds and skill of the Bhil folk. Atop a ridge, you can visit one of the many Bhil shrines – dedicated to Lord Shiva, and learn of their history preserved in tales and song.
