Riding in Rajasthan summary
Our rides through the colourful Indian region of Rajasthan are often planned to coincide with either the Pushkar Fair in October and November or the equally absorbing Nagaur Fair in February. Guests have the choice of joining set departure dates or putting together a group of their own making.
Our Rajasthan rides combine riding high spirited Marwari horses (distinguished by their inward curling ears) for up to 30 kilometres a day, with a fascinating insight into the culture of a state rich in history and intrigue. On non riding days we can arrange visits to the stunning places and temples of Jaipur, Jodphur and Udaipur, as well as the Taj Mahal and the 14th century Jain Temples at Ranakpur situated in a peaceful valley through the Aravali range of hills.
Accommodation during these rides is in a combination of grand palaces, five star hotels, extraordinary private homes, and luxurious tented camps. An approximate distance of 25 km to 30 km is covered every day. After a hearty breakfast, we ride for three or four hours, stopping for a hot buffet lunch, sometimes in the grounds of a typical farmhouse belonging to the “Thakur” (head) of the village, at other times an oasis. After a short siesta, we resume the ride for a further two or three hours or so arriving at our overnight destination in time for tea. Some sightseeing (if there is some place to visit) before changing for drinks and dinner to the accompaniment of local folk musicians in the hotel or by the campfire.
Please see the separate itinerary tabs for the Pushkar Fair (first and second half), the Forts and Palaces ride, the Naguar Fair and the Christmas special or contact Wild and Exotic for further information on any of our rides.
