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".
