The beautiful 15th Century village of Narlai is a long way down the road less travelled, situated almost equidistant from Jodhpur and Udaipur. It’s not the kind of place that the mainstream visit; it’s for those inquisitive – and discerning – travelers who really want to understand a country and get under its skin.
Narlai is a close-knit rural village where life hasn’t changed for generations, with an economy that is based on horticulture and cattle. This is India as it once was. The surrounding countryside, formerly a favourite hunting ground of the Maharaja of Jodhpur, is untamed and largely untouched. Leopards roam freely around the hillocks and lakes which are such an integral part of the Narlai panorama.
