Your OMG Day starts in the holy town of Pushkar with a visit the famed Brahma Temple to meet a local pandit to understand and partake in ancient rituals. Then the choice is yours: choose to take an hour long yoga class followed by a wellness and spirituality discussion, or drive to the base of Savitri Temple hill for a hike up the 900 steps for a birds-eye view of Pushkar.

After a leisurely start to the morning, hop into jeeps to visit the small villages and hamlets outside Chandelao Garh, culminating in a visit to Pipar village to learn more about the 100 year old crafting techniques. An overnight in this unique heritage property awaits.
