📅 Best Time to Visit
To fully enjoy the outdoor activities, visit during the Winter Season (October to March). The pleasant evening weather makes it the perfect time to explore the village without the desert heat.
To get the most out of your ticket, you need to time your arrival and activities perfectly. Since Chokhi Dhani is large and gets crowded on weekends, following this 5-Hour “Sights & Bites” Plan will ensure you see the best shows before your heavy meal.
🕔 05:00 PM – The Royal Welcome & Orientation
Arrive early. The gates open at 5:00 PM, and arriving now lets you beat the long ticket lines and the evening rush.
The Entrance: You’ll be greeted with a traditional Tilak and a refreshing welcome drink.
Action: Head straight to the Rath Khana (Chariot Museum) while it’s still bright enough for photos.
🕕 05:30 PM – Animal Rides & Village Games
Get your movement in before the performances hit their peak.
Rides: Take a Camel or Bullock Cart ride around the perimeter. It’s the best way to see the layout of the entire 10-acre village.

Quick Stop: Visit the National Museum to see the miniature displays of different Indian states.
🕖 06:30 PM – Peak Performance Hour (Must-See Shows)
This is when the village truly comes alive with music and lights.
The Haldighati Play: Head to the open-air theater for the Battle of Haldighati re-enactment. It’s the signature event of the evening.
Folk Dance: Catch the Kalbeliya (Snake Dance) and Bamboo Acrobatics. These usually happen in the central courtyards.

By now, you’ve worked up an appetite.
The Feast: Head to your chosen dining hall (Sangri for authentic, or Royal Fine Dining for silver service).
Pro Tip: If you chose the Traditional Rajasthani Dinner, remember that the seating is floor-based, so take off your shoes and prepare for an unlimited flow of Dal Baati Churma.
🕘 09:30 PM – Shopping & Sweet Ending
After a heavy meal, a slow walk is essential.
Kalagram: Visit the shopping area to pick up hand-block printed textiles or terracotta pottery directly from local artisans.
Mehendi & Astrology: If you missed it earlier, this is a quieter time to get a henna tattoo or have your fortune told by the village astrologer.
Departure: Aim to leave by 10:15 PM to avoid the mass exit at closing time (10:30 PM).
💡 Final Tips for your Evening
Water: Keep a water bottle handy while walking around, although clean drinking water is provided at the dining areas.
Cash: While entry is usually paid by card/UPI, carry some small cash for tipping the folk performers if their acts move you.
Winter Wear: If visiting in January 2026, the temperature will drop significantly after sunset. Carry a light jacket or shawl.
