Trip Overview

Ramdevra (Runicha) is the resting place of Baba Ramdevji, a 14th-century warrior-saint who is worshipped by Hindus as an incarnation of Krishna and by Muslims as “Ramsa Pir.” He spent his life fighting against caste discrimination and performing miracles (Parchas) to help the poor.

On this tour, you will drive deep into the Thar Desert, following the path of millions of pilgrims who walk this route carrying multi-colored flags (Neja). The landscape turns stark and golden. You will bow at the Living Samadhi (tomb) where the saint took conscious exit from his body, and visit Pokhran, the land of nuclear history and red sandstone forts. It is a journey of faith that unites two religions.

Trip Highlights

What makes this day trip unforgettable.

  • ✅ The Samadhi: Have Darshan at the main temple built by the Maharaja of Bikaner. The atmosphere is electric with chants of “Jai Babari!”

  • ✅ Parcha Bawdi: Visit the ancient stepwell nearby. Legend says the water here was created by the Baba to quench the thirst of the locals, and it has healing powers.

  • ✅ Pokhran Fort: Stop at the Balagarh Fort in Pokhran. It is a beautiful, less-visited fort with a museum displaying royal armory and costumes.

  • ✅ Ramsagar Talab: Sit by the lake believed to be dug by Baba Ramdevji himself. It is a spot of serenity in the arid landscape.

  • ✅ Communal Harmony: Witness the unique sight of Hindu priests and Muslim fakirs worshipping in the same complex.
