The food at Chokhi Dhani
Dinner is the highlight for many. In the traditional package, you sit cross-legged on the floor in a mud-walled dining hall, and servers keep refilling your leaf-plate thali. Expect dal baati churma, gatte ki sabzi, kadhi, bajra roti with ghee and jaggery, khichdi and sweets. Servers insist warmly on second helpings – it's part of the experience! Food is vegetarian.

- From Jaipur airport: around 10 km, 20–25 minutes.
