My name is Yogi, I am from Rajasthan, India. I offer short- or long-term stay opportunities for volunteers at my properties in the beautiful city of Bikaner (Rajasthan) and/or at our Camel safari in the Thar Desert near Bikaner. Both places are fully run by locals.
Beside these places we also manage an organization which works in local villages where we contribute to youth education and basic health and hygiene. Our hotel, camel camp and travel agency are an important source of funding to many of these projects and people. Thus, we have been working in the tourism area as well as social work for many years: we are now trying to merge these two sides in order to improve our projects.
As we love sharing our culture and traditions with our guests and volunteers, we make an effort to make sure that the people coming to work or travel here get a special and peaceful environment. In doing so, we want our place to be a space where people can learn and exchange culture and work experiences. We believe that new ideas can grow into activities which can better many lives. We want our place and projects to grow as a community.
We need help to care & manage our desert camp in Bikaner long term or short.
I am not good at talking but love to have good company who talk laugh & on weekends we can travel together to explore nearby places if you like.
Bikaner city
Bikaner is not as touristic as other destinations but certainly more beautiful, historic, rich in art & culture, and It offers as many things worth seeing as any other city. It is known for its Junagarh Fort, Lallgarh palace, Gajner lake & palace, sanctuary, Karni Mata temple at Deshnok also called the 'Temple of Rats', because of the many friendly crawling creatures that inhabit it and its curious legends, its spice market and its camel research center where you can see hundreds of camels, taste camel milk and pet them. Laxmi Niwas palace one of most beautiful palaces in the world, Shri Kolayat Ji mini pushkar holi lake and many other temples; Taal chaaper. You will have enough free time to visit and experience all those places.
Our family run Guest house is situated in a quiet, residential neighborhood in the heart (center) of Bikaner and is only a short drive away from many of these interesting places. It offers 8 rooms and welcome Indians as well as foreigner travelers from all over the world.
17 km from Bikaner city we also run a camel safari camp, surrounded by a quiet atmosphere and landscape, its smooth and refreshing air in the afternoon, beautiful sunsets, and has antelopes, blue bull, rabbit, fox etc passing in between bushes; also a paradise for bird watchers the desert offers an amazing and relaxing experience. Experience wildlife, Rajasthani culture & shooting stars while having dinner around camp fire in the desert.
We need long stay guys/families to take care of our camp, keep mud huts & swiss tents ready for customers (construction projects) as well as gardening development. We provide vegetable, rice, pasta rations filter water so you can cook for yourself also.
To offer tourists the opportunity to stay in this environment and make this experience, we are currently building and decorating old style Mud huts at our desert camp with natural local materials like grass, yellow sand, and cow dung, which has multiple properties (insulation, resistance and waterproofing for walls and floors).
Further more, we organize safaris in the desert. Workawayer can also get some discount in the safari. We also offer to tourist traditional dance and music performances in the evening on demand.
