It was a nice trip to go back to the village days of my childhood. Full of energy and enthusiasm. It was great fun to take part in the village activities like ploughing and all. Such a nice feeling at the end of the day. Tasty village food too. I did not want to come back. But I think, the cost of the package was more than I expected. Still, it was a good package with a lot of things to do. It will be a great thing for you too guys to have a day with the tribal people living in these villages. You will feel so calm and peaceful. Try this tour once.

Wow!!! What a fantastic place. People were so curious to see us yet they were very friendly. We a group of 10 students from a college in Mumbai went to this village as a part of our project. But it was almost like a picnic. Nice coordinators. We felt that those tribal people were waiting for people to come and meet them. Truly blissful.

Amazing scenery…village life is something adorable…wanted to spend some days…nice package…
It will take about 2 hours to get there in total, but it is an exciting journey involving a ferry and a rickshaw and some outstanding views! The villages we visit on the tour are located about an hour by rickshaw to the South of Alibagh, a coastal town South of Mumbai.
First we will take a one hour ferry to Alibagh and then we will take a rickshaw south for one hour to Chinchoti. There are toilets on the ferry and snacks are available for purchase.
It’s a little different every time, that’s what’s so exciting about this tour! But in general, we will visit farms, a rice mill, a brick making community a lake for washing, a school, a lake for swimming, a local home for lunch, a local temple and an Indigenous community.
Depending on the season, different farm activities will be going on that guests are welcome to try if they should wish. And at any time of year, we can swim, eat lunch with a local family, visit an indigenous community, hike the nearby village mountain or enjoy a game of cricket.
We eat a simple, traditional vegetarian lunch consisting of dal (lentils) roti, rice and vegetables.
Yes, absolutely. We make it a priority to work with families with clean kitchens and we use bottled water when water is required. We’ve had hundreds of satisfied guests, so no need to worry! We can also cater to most allergies if required.
We are careful not to disrupt any ongoing classes. Depending on timing, we typically try to see a classroom, meet some students, see the school prayers and play with some kids during their break.
Chinchoti is a typical Indian village that was formed in the past 100 years or so. The indigenous community, however, is comprised of the original inhabitants of Maharashtra and is much, much older. They only moved down from the hills into permanent homes about 60 years ago, after Independence. As a result, they don’t own any land themselves and often work as laborers on other people’s farms.
Yes, private tours are available on request for groups of 4 or more people.
Definitely. We facilitate village visits for several study trips and we would love to help you group too.
