Village Tourism in Punjab, India

It’s 2017 and the world is almost up to its neck with big cities, skyscrapers, never ending roadways and chaotic lifestyles. Now, while traveling you need to rejuvenate your soul and not glamorize your eyes.

The next big thing in travel is going to be rural tourism in Punjab, India. Closer to man’s origin, nature’s care and spiritual presence, who isn’t pleased by rural life?

Imagine waking up to mesmerizing petrichor, sounds of flames crackling from an earthen pot on fire, smell of a staple curry, sound of native women whispering in groups walking by, children playing with anything and everything they can access, open fields and a very welcoming presentiment.

Chulla Bhatti-There are many styles of cooking in Punjab. In the villages many people still employ the traditional infrastructure for cooking purposes. This includes wood-fired and masonry ovens. In the past many people employed wood-burning stoves. But this method is dying out. One derivation from this type of cooking is the tandoori style of cooking commonly known as tandoor. In India, tandoori cooking is traditionally associated with Punjab^[5] as Punjabis embraced the tandoor on a regional level.This style of cooking became popular in the mainstream after the 1947 partition when Punjabis resettled in places such as Delhi. In rural Punjab, it is common to have communal tandoors,which are also called Kath tadoors
