legends of aravalLi
Where green hills meet timeless tribes
The Aravalli ranges, tapestry of lush green hills, dense forests, and quiet trails that seem to hum with ancient stories. Life here flows slowly, unbothered by time, where dawn spills golden light over rocky ridges and the calls of peacocks echo through the valleys.
Within these lands live the Bheels, Garasias, and Raikas , communities bound deeply to the rhythms of nature. The Bheels, skilled forest dwellers, share tales of survival and wisdom passed down generations. The Garasias, with their vivid attire and soulful songs, invite you into their world of warmth and color. The Raikas, the camel herders of Rajasthan, embody resilience, their bond with their herds and the land a quiet ode to harmony.

Why this journey?
With Roots of Indigene, you don’t just visit , you live the story. You stay in an old Rajput castle, sip chai by the crocodile lake, share meals with tribal families, and sit by evening fires listening to stories as the stars take over the night sky. Days unfold in their raw, unfiltered beauty — walking trails that lead to hidden settlements, capturing fleeting moments through your lens, and even spotting leopards in the wild.
This expedition is an invitation to slow down, to join us on this journey into the wild heart of the Aravallis. Walk hidden forest trails, share chai with tribes by their fires, and live the raw beauty of this land before it changes forever.
