The experience was positive, the place is truly stunning, and you have the real chance to escape from the more chaotic side of India. There is no work-related stress, and their family always makes you feel comfortable, special and warm-hearted people.
In your free time, you can enjoy the local attractions, such as the fantastic camel ride.
Thank you for everything!
See you soon.

The stay at Dhanna Ram was absolutely great. The family is kind and welcoming, they always make sure you don't lack of anything. The area is stunning, the confort is great, it is a really nice way to go on the countryside. You can stay a week or more but I would definitely suggest to spend more than a week
You help a bit to give food to the animals, lead the camels or some random tasks but there is no pressure at all and we just feel good. The children in the village made the place so authentic as well. Great time, recomend it, I will come back if I can

Trascorrere del tempo con Sumer e la sua famiglia è stato semplicemente fantastico. Ho trascorso una settimana piacevole, in mezzo alla natura e lontana dal caos che caratterizza l'India. Persone gentili, accoglienti, ti fanno sentire a casa. E vivono col sorriso stampato sui loro volti. Persone meravigliose che auguro a tutti di incontrare.

I had a great time with Sumer and his family! They made me feel very welcome and comfortable. I helped with cooking, making chapatis, cutting vegetables, and other small tasks like preparing chai, gathering wood for the fire, and assisting with tech questions. Sumer gave us the choice to help or relax, so there was no pressure. I also learned a lot about their culture and enjoyed exchanging insights about daily life. The local children were sweet and came daily after school to learn English at the family’s house. I truly enjoyed my stay and hope to return. Thank you for the experience!
