Khamma Ghani! Just an hour away from Delhi, Chokhi Dhani in Sonipat, also known as the little Rajasthan, is all about bringing the beauty from the Land of Kings to life. The bajra roti, magic shows, colourful turbans and beautiful outdoors, when they say, "Aavo Hamare Des," they make sure to justify it. If you’ve been missing out on time with the fam, be sure to take them to Chokhi Dhani. It's the perfect place because of its pastoral simplicity, warm hospitality and the effort that has been put into creating it.
They've got mud huts with art all over it, old-school lanterns and a village-like atmosphere created by the staff who are dressed in traditional Rajasthani attire (perfect for photo-ops and Insta stories!)
Watching the puppeteers tell age-old stories and the magician perfecting his tricks is something we’ve all enjoyed since we were kids, and Chokhi Dhani gives you the chance to enjoy all of it once again. You can also watch a live fire performance and folk artists singing and dancing to Rajasthani beats.
Price: All of this is available at an incredibly affordable price, which is just INR 700 (for children between 5 to 10 years), and for adults, it's INR 1,000. This package includes welcome drinks, snacks, dinner, cultural folk dance, ghoomar dance, bhopa bhopi, kalbeliya, been and chaupal parties, puppet and magic shows, live pottery making, and traditional costume photography. It also includes pure veg dinner (north Indian and Rajasthani cuisine) which they would be happy to refill whenever you ask (or even if you don't but if they see your plate empty, they'll serve anyway).
Activities And Things To Do: Chokhi Dhani activities that are not included in the package are fun rides (bullock cart, camel cart, tonga, tractor, and mini train) and skill games (dart board, bow and arrow, basketball & matka game). No, that's not all, there are adventure activities too, including commando net, plank bridge, elephant walk, tope tunnel, ring walk, and so much more. All these are available at very nominal prices, starting at INR 10.
