I found top awesome activities in village to do in India

Here are some of the top awesome activities you can enjoy in Indian villages — authentic, soul-refreshing experiences that take you straight to the heart of real rural India. These timeless joys are still very much alive in 2026 across states like Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Meghalaya, Kerala, Himachal, and more.

1. Bullock Cart Ride Through Fields & Villages

Nothing screams classic desi village vibe like a slow, bumpy ride on a bullock cart (bail-gadi) while soaking in golden fields, village paths, and fresh air.

Here are some nostalgic glimpses of this timeless experience:

2. Cooking on Traditional Chulha (Mud Stove)

Join village women to prepare roti, sabzi, saag, or bajra/makke ki roti on a wood-fired chulha — the smoky aroma and taste are unbeatable!

4. Morning Tea with Fresh Views & Village Chats

Sip chai from a clay kulhad while sitting on a charpai under a banyan tree, watching the sunrise over mustard fields or paddy — pure bliss!

5. Participating in Village Festivals & Folk Performances

Join local celebrations — whether it’s Holi with colors & dhol, Diwali with diyas & rangoli, or regional fairs with folk dances, music, and community feasts. The energy is infectious!
