Horse Safari in Rajasthan
Like Camel Safari, Horse Safari in Rajasthan is one of the best ways to experience
the royal grandeur of Rajasthan during your travel with Horse Safari in Rajasthan
that RajasthanTour4U India offers. The significance of horses for the Rajputs cannot
be destabilized. The royalty of Rajasthan, the charming and valiant Rajput kings,
always traveled on horseback. They were said to be born with riding skills and their
horses were among their prized possessions. Horses were important for the military
and the many wars in Rajasthan history were waged on horseback.
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
Marwari, 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.
Today, tourists on Rajasthan holiday can 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.
Before embarking on a horse safari in Rajasthan, tourists are advised to wear boots
and a hard hat. Breeches or jeans are comfortable. Evenings are cold and pullovers
and jackets are essential. During daytime the glare of the sun can be quite harsh,
so sunglasses are advisable. So, if you are game to explore the Thar Desert and
world's oldest mountain chains - the Aravalis - Rajasthan travel on horseback offers
a great area for adventure activities.
