Strode E-Bike Ride To Shilpgram
Barely 3 kms from the city, Shilpgram is a 70 acre tribute to the timeless allure of Indian art, craft, music and dance. Established in 1989 in the rustic locales tucked within the Aravallis, it’s a showcase of the rural, indigenous rural cultures of India’s four Western states - Rajasthan, Gujarat, Goa and Maharashtra. Hop on a Strode e-bike for a scenic ride that’s deserving of Shilpgram’s status as a capsule of India’s rustic charm.
Sample Rare Gems In A Ocean Of Treasures
Representing the wealth of arts and crafts from four heavyweight Indian states, Shilpgram can easily become a maze that the unsuspecting traveller gets lost in. Hours could pass by in a haze - jewellery/jutti shopping, henna tattooing and yummy meals and dancing along with artists - before the day is over and Fomo strikes, leaving you with that nagging feeling that you’ve missed out on the real deals. Your Strode guide is your trusted navigator who immediately cuts through the colourful bonanza to lead you through a selection of Shilpgram’s finest and off-the-radar attractions.
From the five huts allocated to Rajasthan, the Mewari potter's hut and the Bhil farmer community huts are great starting points.
Feel The Mitti(Earth) Of Rajasthan
Strod-ing Shilpgram's rustic desert empire in your way in just three hours! Its huts showcase an interlocking occupational theme—a complex yet self-contained structure with carpenters, potters, blacksmiths, weavers, and needleworkers working side by side. Your Strode guide narrates Rajasthan's heritage as you stroll through mud huts, from hardy tribes to craftspeople. Huts are divided by culture and geography: Braj (Bharatpur), Hadoti (Kota), Tribal (Dungarpur), Desert (Barmer and Bikaner), Shekhawati (Sikar), and Jaipur. Immerse in village life, stopping for captivating demonstrations of tradition and skill.
Meet The Unmissable- Shilpgram Festival Legends
During the annual one-week December festival at Shilpgram, you'll experience musical pit stops with world-class artists. Enjoy the signature Kalbeliya dance performance, interact with musicians like Bhupa-Bhupi, and witness Ramnath Chaudhary's Algoza mastery.
