Khichan

Can a city plan treat Khichan as an in-town errand?

Quick answer

Khichan, in Phalodi: a village near Phalodi where demoiselle cranes gather in winter Winter only for the birds. Go in winter, at the hour the birds use, and do not plan it as a same-evening Jaisalmer extra.

Detailed answer

A plan for Khichan has to start from the journey, not from a wish list. Go in winter, at the hour the birds use, and do not plan it as a same-evening Jaisalmer extra. It is close enough to its usual hub that the journey can be part of a day, if you do not bolt on a second major sight. The mistake this note names is specific: going in May, or walking into the flock
