The lifeblood of the Chanoud community…<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

To this day, Chanoud Garh plays an integral part in the community by supporting the Chanoud villagers. As well as employing local craftspeople to carefully restore the fort-palace to its former grandeur, the family take their guests on insightful strolls through the village \u2013 visiting historical temples, the local school, and little artisan shops along the way \u2013 which help keep Chanoud’s distinctive heritage intact.<\/p>\n

The homestay’s excursions are all beautifully done and completely<\/em> ungimmicky (we especially enjoyed visiting the saltflats at sunset, where we shared refreshing G&Ts with our wonderful hosts after our guided walk around the village).<\/p>\n
