Small-Group Local Food Tasting Tour of Jaipur

It starts with a cup of tea, as most things of importance and substance in India do. But this isnt your run of the mill tea poured from the baskets of enterprising chai-wallas, this tea has been perfected over the 8 generations that the Sahu family has been running this shop, and its exquisite taste is hard to over-state. In many ways this first cup of tea is representative of the tour as a whole. This is a Jaipur 5 senses tour saturated with local delicacies in equal proportion to delightful historical details that bring even more life to the ancient planned Pink City. Walking with Anirudh founder of the wonderful tour company Vedic Walks through the Old City is an eye opening experience that I would recommend to any traveler looking to dive deeper into local culture beyond the onload-offload tour bus. He maneuvers you through back-alleys with ease, escorting you to multi-generational shops that offer you such delicacies as saffron ice cream, sweet lassi served in terra-cotta cups, hand-crafted spicy lentil fried dough balls and many more, whilst simultaneously enriching your mind by linking the very alleys you walk within to the citys people, its history as well as its future. Weve been on many tours in many countries, tasted numerous local dishes from innumerable local shops, but this tour with Anirudh and Vedic Walks ranks at the top of our food and culture tour lists.”
