On our trail to slow moments, self-love, and peaceful vibes, we Ghoomophirosisters explored this fantastic place in the holy town of Pushkar.

Farm Aavjo is a welcoming and homely place that offers all possible amenities and luxuries under one roof for travelers and explorers who desire to experience local life but with comfort. We cannot get over this Farm stay’s hangover and the immersing cultural vibes, nature-rich surroundings, and soul-enriching experience of this place.

Besides being a first-hand guide to our staycation at Pushkar, this blog post explains Rajasthan’s royal strings, which connect you to age-old culture, cuisines, and India’s heritage. Pushkar is a popular travel hub for Indian backpackers, travelers, and foreign tourists, as it shares a glimpse of the authentic Rajasthani tradition.

On Our Way to Farm Aavjo!

We Ghoomophirosisters also headed out on our new expedition away from bustling city life and chaotic routines. You might have heard a lot about the vibrant architecture and warm hospitality of royal cities like Jodhpur, Jaipur, or Udaipur, but the charm of the hidden gem—Pushkar—is yet unexplored!

As we moved towards the holy city of Pushkar, nestled amidst the majestic Aravali Ranges, on our way to Farm Aavjo, the urge to delve deeper into its history surged. If you happen to visit here in November, the popular ‘Pushkar Camel Fair’ is a must-attend for everyone. We were welcomed by locals wholeheartedly and were thrilled to finally enter the town of sacred lakes, ghats, and the only ‘Brahma Temple’ in the world!

On our way to Farm Aavjo, we Ghoomophirosisters craved local cuisines and took a few breaks to soak in the essence of their traditional spices, prepared with utmost patience and love. Delectable meals and Rajasthani snacks were good enough to satiate our appetites and taste buds.

Interestingly, they are recognized with unique names and have their own identity. Seeing animals being nurtured with so much respect and care was incredible!

Our interaction with the horses (Riddhi and Siddhi), Cow (Laxmi), Cat (Cookie), chickens, and farm ducks was interesting. With their permission, you can caress them, petting, feeding, or calming them down. We Ghoomophirosisters also enjoyed observing these animals and creating a profound connection with them.

Munching on delectable, farm-fresh recipes at Farm Aavjo was another incredible experience for us. Indulging in tasteful Rajasthani cuisines and tailored fresh organic meals was a unique experience. These food options were satiating, but what’s better is your chance to participate in the process.

We got the chance to collect eggs and harvest vegetables, which helped us understand the incredible process of connecting to roots for our daily needs. It is incredible how Mother Nature serves us a variety of tasteful eating options filled with essential nutrients and vitamins.

After handpicking the farm-fresh, organic fruits and veggies on our own, we Ghoomophirosisters ate the freshly served meals wholeheartedly and guilt-free.

Creative Therapy Room- A Retreat to Enjoy!

‘The Everything Room’ was a unique addition to the Farm Aavjo, luring guests to unwind in the host of leisure activities.
