Dastkar Craft Centre

Ranthambhore National Park


This workshop and outlet located beyond the park entrance, near Khem Villas, is well worth a visit. The organisation helps to empower low-caste village women, who gain regular income by selling their textile and embroidery work. Many attractive handicrafts are on sale, including saris, scarves, bags and bedspreads. Another outlet is located about 3km from the train station. Beware of imitators.
