Learn a few Hindi phrases like 'Namaste' (hello) and 'Dhanyavad' (thank you) to connect with locals who may not speak English.

Respect the environment by not plucking plants or disturbing wildlife, in line with Bishnoi values.

When to Go
Best Time to Visit
The ideal time to visit Khejroli is from October to March, during the winter months. Daytime temperatures are pleasant, ranging from 15°C to 25°C, making outdoor activities comfortable. Summers (April to June) are extremely hot, often exceeding 40°C, which can be harsh for exploration. Monsoon (July to September) brings sporadic rains, but the village remains accessible. Avoid peak summer if possible for a more enjoyable experience.
Local Insights & Tips
Khejroli is deeply tied to the Bishnoi community, a sect known for their staunch protection of nature, especially trees and animals. The Khejri tree is sacred here, symbolizing life in the arid region. Locals are generally welcoming but value privacy and respect. When interacting, avoid loud behavior and always ask before taking photos of people. The pace of life is slow, reflecting a harmony with the environment. Participating in local rituals or sharing a meal can foster meaningful connections, but remember that this is a living community, not just a tourist spot.
