Hands-on block printing in Jaipur with local artisans. Watch the process, print your own scarf or apron, and take home a finished souvenir.
“If you’re in Jaipur and looking for something authentic (and hands-on), don’t miss the block printing workshop. I booked the option where you get to make your own scarf, and it was honestly one of the best things I did in the city. The whole experience was super well organized: they explain the basics of block printing, let you choose your designs, and then guide you through the process. The blocks are stunning – hand-carved with so much detail – and it’s fascinating to see how a few simple stamps can turn plain fabric into something beautiful. It’s creative, cultural, and you walk away with a gorgeous handmade scarf that…”

Jaipur home cooking with Monty and Harshita. Learn chapatis and veg curry, eat with the family, plus drink and dessert.
“This was an excellent and casual class that took you through the fundamentals. Harshita and Monty went above and beyond and knew a lot and answered all my curious questions.

A private Jaipur block printing workshop with hand-carved stamps, natural dyes, two take-home items, and a traditional lunch tailored to you.
“What a fantastic experience block printing was. Expert help by our masterji. Wonderful samosas too and hospitality. I only took one star away because my mum asked for help with one thing on her scarf and then the masterji didn’t let her finish anything else herself. So she was a little bit disappointed. Highly recommend”

Swati and her lovely family welcomed us into their home and taught us how to make an incredible meal including lachha paratha and chapati, dal tadka, cumin rice and chai masala. We tried jaggery and chikki (like a peanut brittle), poppadoms and Swati's homemade lemon pickle. Swati completely catered to food intolerances and preferences and talked though and explained everything as she cooked (also sent on the recipes afterwards). We felt incredibly welcomed and would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for an authentic food experience in Jaipur!”
