A (literal) walk through Rajasthani history
“A must for both tourists and locals who want to know how the deserts of Rajasthan gave rise to a ‘water state’. As Neeraj will tell you, water percolates through every aspect of Rajasthani life, including its mythology, science, art, and culture. The tour (literally) takes you off the beaten path, through Mughal aqueducts, canals, and a stepwell. Neeraj is a masterful storyteller and a superb expositor of medieval engineering; I can’t recommend the tour enough.”

Such a wonderful walk to learn history of Rajasthan, thru Water!
“Neeraj was the perfect guide. Incredibly knowledgeable, but also fun, light, friendly and made the journey very interesting. I love see history thru the eyes of water, and we are going to bring more people back to experience this. Thank you Neeraj!”
