The concept of village walks is an old one at Manvar. The family believes that too many people have migrated from the village to the cities in search of a better future and something needs to be done to sustain the simple, wholesome lifestyle of the village. The village walk is a small step in that direction. It not only instills a sense of pride in the village folk but also encourages them to preserve, maintain and showcase their culture and way of life. To a rapidly modernizing world and its denizens who live lives of high stress, the importance of ‘back-to-basics’ approach is finally dawning. And the village walk at Manvar is just a small window into a world of simplicity and adaptability.
Village Walks, in contrast to the Jeep and Camel safaris offer a quieter and more informative way to experience the desert way of life around Manvar.
The village tour will allow you to share the fascinating culture of these friendly people against the captivating beauty and tranquility of the vast desert. The journey into the desert is an opportunity to experience village life at close quarters in one of the harshest environments in the world.
Just behind the resort, there’s an old temple on a small rocky feature dedicated to Mother Goddess Bhawani. It’s only a 15-minute walk. A trip to the temple rewards the adventurous with breathtaking panoramic views of the far horizons around the resort. Plus, one can always pick up little trinkets such as bangles and such from the village for folks back home. And if that doesn’t get you off the armchair, remember that it also helps work up a good appetite.
