Description
Namaste!!!
My name is manish and I am trying to live my life with humanity n honesty keeping away religious n racism differences. I was born in the 12th century fort of jaisalmer where i live since my birth with blessings of almighty nature . With the blessings of my parents I run our small boutique villa which is actually a HOME for those who are searching home away around the globe. It is almost 850 years old mansion renovated in 2006 with the same architecture ,carved balconies n niches. It is located at very Southern corner of fort with peaceful ambience having 05 beautifully interiored rooms it holds the love and passion of youth with peace,wisdom,serenity n patience of our elders. Jaisalmer is a historical place with the ambience of 1001 tales of Arabian nights. Sunrise n sunset from our roof is awesome . I speak french and Italian .
Come... Let's share together the cultures, traditions , languages,customs and stories of the times gone by while eating vegetarian food together. But please come only as a responsible family member with maturity in actions n behave. Not just for free food and free accommodation.workaway family means a lot to me. It’s like living in goodness n unconditional love with the globe we don’t allow any sort of drugs or smoking or drinking in the rooms or in our premises. Eating in room
Is not allowed at all. We don’t have chef so prepare ur breakfast on ur own. In lunch we offer Indian veg pack tiffin. For dinner also same tiffin but if u wish to eat something of ur type of VEGETARIAN FOOD than u can buy ur grocery n use our kitchen. It will be a life time experience so please don’t take it lightly only as a touristic stay.
