Visit to Rabari settlement

Gain an insight into the lives of the Rabari shepherds

A landscape is made up of as many natural elements as human and Jawai’s wilderness is inextricably shaped by its Rabari shepherds. Tour through a Rabari settlement for a glimpse into the lives of these resilient desert folk. Watch them set out across the pasturelands to graze their cattle and learn about their co-existence with the leopards. Tap into the routines and rhythms of the potters, bangle-makers, weavers, ironsmiths and musicians, as they ply their craft. For a more religious experience, explore some of Jawai’s 300 temples and shrines scattered across the countryside, each with a compelling history, dedicated to ancient deities.
