Horse Safari

'Rajasthan' - the land of the Rajputs, is known for its kings, fearless warriors
and beautiful women. It's also known for its forts, palaces and temples which
are a reminder of the glorious past. Kingdoms were carved and established by
the Rajputs on horseback, while swords were stained with enemy blood.
Horses were highly priced and a Rajput warrior
would give anything to own a good horse. Great care was taken to breed
horses and to keep a clean and pure lineage. The result of many years of
dedication and hard work helped create breeds like the Marwah, Kathiawadi
and the sindhi, each having its own distinct characteristics and bred solely
for the purpose of war. These horses were noted for their stamina and fierce
loyalty to their masters, these gallant steeds, the Rajputs became famous
worldwide. There is an old saying;
"If
God didn't create the horse,
He wouldn't have created the Rajputs"
In Rajasthan, the tourist can today have the pleasure of riding
through trails dotted and marked with cenotaphs and tombstones of many brave
and valiant Rajput warriors. Trails which take them through villages, pass
huge and ancient forts and temples. Nights can be spent in ancient palaces
and Garhs (small forts) now owned by the descendants of those glorious
Rajput rulers. These palaces not only provide modern amenities but cultural
programmes and entertainment is also available. Evenings are spent at
campsites which are splashed with colour in the form of local folk dance and
music.
Tourists can have the pleasure of being escorted by a
English speaking "trail guide".
