Indian Rural Tourism is the coming together of India’s Spiritual, Cultural, Heritage and Leisure on a platter for the deserving traveller. Making it a spectacular way to discover India’s deep-rooted culture in rural villages, hamlets and smaller towns. Rural India is extremely simple and hospitable, experience this firsthand and you are sure to make some new friends living in the heart of this vibrant peninsular.

Each village has its own distinctive performing arts, rituals, festivals and different styles of worshipping their local deities. Fulcrum offers travellers a unique reality holiday experience, by giving its travellers an opportunity to discover rural India’s fairs, dance and arts forms. Until a few years ago, the future of many rare rural arts forms was threatened. It’s audience moved over to larger entertainment media like television and cinema and due to this lack of patronage folk artistes and artisans were forced to take on other occupations. In efforts to revive these disappearing art forms, rural tourism has become a boon for them. Rural tourism has brought rural India a wider global audience. Tourist visiting village fairs and festivals interact and learn from these village artisans firsthand. Hobby tourism is a great concept, which is a part of our inbound rural tour. You could choose and learn any rural art form: terracotta, pottery, basket weaving etc. with an array of orientation courses to choose from. You could even adopt struggling art forms through registered craft revival agencies.
