Members of the Church of the Epiphany organized a picnic to The Pratapgarh Farms at Jajjhar on the 22nd of February, 2025. It was a day of singing hymns and prayers while on the bus, and joyful fellowship. The day at the venue passed rather quickly what with all the activities taking place. The exotic foods were a main draw and these included Sarson ka Saag, Makki ki Roti, Bajra ki Roti, Bajre ki Khichri, and the Lemonade that was just right.
After a one and a half hour of travelling and numerous hymns, everyone was famished, so on reaching the venue, everyone rushed to the counters for a sumptuous breakfast. Sitting on the traditional Chowki's waiting for the piping hot Rotis and the Saag to be served, along with bites of Jaggery was indeed a rewarding experience.
We were also able to spot a few amazing birds and domestic animals. Among the most exotic domestic animals that I was able to spot was the Majestic Mahesh, the King of Gir Bulls.
Spotting the famous Kaddaknath Rooster, Emu and Guinea Fowls was a most amazing moment.
The static displays of the Mig 21 aircraft, missiles (that some of us launched) were interesting beyond description.
And on the way back.....
Eco-Tourism, and Farm Tourism are emerging trends in sustainable tourism associated with providing employment to numerous people living in the area. Produce from farms is used to provide meals that are served in house. Incidentally Pratapgarh Farms in Jajjhar is a prime example of an industry that is providing not just a suitable opportunity, a complete package for families and corporates to chill out, but also an occasion for people to sample traditional foods, handicrafts, attire, games, thrills and spills in responsible manner.
