Like a member of the family! Babu and Nandini took great care of me (they made sure my room and food were just right for me -Nandini added less spice to my dish compared to theirs-, Babu picked me up at the station on arrival...). It's an absolutely ideal place to immerse yourself in the local and especially traditional culture. Nandini is a real chef! I've rarely eaten so well in my life! An encounter I'll never forget. Nandini and Babu are very curious to learn new things about outside cultures, just as they are eager to share their own.

This was an amazing experience overall! The tasks and job listing however is not accurate, the only job we did was dishes. Everything else listed we did get to experience but more in a cultural exchange way. We did help in the kitchen and learn lots of recipes, we did get to try to milk a cow one day, we did go on a the shelter safari, and we got to see lots of the town and learn about many of the temples we went to! We were able to read the book however there was not a garden there. There is a fee of $7 which is not listed, so it felt more as if I was paying for a cultural exchange program.

This was an amazing cultural experience! Our days included cooking meals, cleaning dishes and learning about the culture. We did not care for cows or camels, translate a book or help with a farm. However, we did get to go on a the shelter safari and Babu drove us around to see beautiful Temples. He is very knowledgeable and we learned so much! Nandini taught us so many wonderful recipes, how to wear a sari and a few dance moves. She is such a wonderful women and I loved spending time with her! This was such a unique experience, I would highly recommend just don't expect to be working with camels.

The family has been very hospitable at all times. The help mainly consists of assisting in the kitchen by cutting some vegetables and washing dishes. In this way you have the opportunity to learn several recipes. On weekends, they go to Bikaner for shopping and dinner; it's a good experience since Nandini guides you on the best shops to buy whatever you want. I recommend a stay of no more than 3-4 weeks, since in the end it is a family home in a small town and it can become monotonous.

Fui una muy bonita experiencia no solo aprendí a cocinar platillos típicos y ayudar en la casa, también pude vivir de cerca celebraciones locales y disfrutar de templos cercanos.
