First, you can look at Chokhi Dhani's website to get a better idea about where we went. We only had about 3 hours there, from 8 until 11 pm. That was enough time for a camel ride, and elephant ride, a magic show, shopping, and dancing. Also, dinner was included in the admission price, so we got to have a proper Rajasthani meal. This place was the most-mentioned attraction in all of Rajasthan according to most of our friends, both Indian and foreign. It was well-worth the price of admission (250 rupees, about $6 US).

Chokhi Dhani means "special village" and it was certainly a treat. We found that most of the people there with us were Indian, and very few signs were in English. It was a delightful evening, sharing the experience with our friends Stephanie, John, and Kristin.
