6:30 am Drive to the Nahargarh Forests
With the first stroke of the morning Sun drive to the Nahargarh Forest area for our Yoga session in the wild in the outskirts of the Jaipur city. The beauty of the Jaipur city has many layers one of them is to experience the city’s gorgeous dawn as you will drive through the old city crossing various Rajasthani mansions, forts and palaces especially the Amber Palace fort. Reach the Nahargarh Biological Park also known as the Nahargarh rescue centre for endangered species, here we will be introduced to our Yoga instructor and our Naturalist as all of us hop in our all-terrain Jeeps to ride deep inside the forest to the Ramsarisagar Lake.
7:00 am Yoga at Ramsarisagar Lake
We ride these rugged trails in our Jeeps to the Ramsarisagar Lake. The reservoir itself is a great example of Urban town planning in medieval times, the ambience here is perfect for meditation and yoga. The session begins with a small introduction to yoga and Vedic meditation followed by Suryanamaskar. A typical yogic routine begins with Suryanamaskar followed by various Asanas(yogic postures) and Pranayamas(Breathing exercises). Throughout the session, our trainers will guide us through the process of learning the Yogic postures and asanas.
8:00 am Jungle walk
After this soul-refreshing divine experience we all take a short walk with our Naturalist to the Shikargah(Hunting Lodge). This structure was built in the 17th century by the rulers of Jaipur to host hunting parties for the royal guests. The view from the lodge itself sings the poetry of the earth.
8:30 am Village walk
Further to this trek downhill for one kilometre and drive to an ancient village in the midst of Jungle. A village walk and interaction with villagers, and refreshment (tea and snacks – traditionally prepared in one of the village houses)
9:00 am Hiking in Aravali Mountain
On completion of this village exploration, an uphill trek awaits us that will take us to an old water body with a great scenic location, cross another hillock and reach rear of the famous Amer Fort.
10:30 am
The tour ends here with great memories guests will be dropped to a place of their choice. The tour surely ends but for a travelling soul, the road never comes to a stop and fun never ceases
