A day tour to Village Life : Worthy Experience

A low-key alternative to most days in a large Indian city. Communication with the tour operator (Triptivo) was haphazard, and I finally had to reach out to them, then received an email with the wrong pick-up time. However, Taxi driver picked me up at 9:30, drove about 30 km. to a lovely farm and farmstay N. of Amritsar. There the host (Jit?) welcomed me, offered some chai, we toured his farm (and sampled some of his produce), walked the nearby village, probably typical of many in that region; I plowed part of his field on his small tractor; and had an abundant lunch -- perhaps the best Indian food of my entire 19 days in India, prepared by host's wife. Driven back to town by same driver. Altogether. an excellent alternative to another day in the big city.
