Rajasthan: The Hills of Marwar Easy-Going (Beginners) Horse Trek

15 days, Sun 07 Nov 2010 to Sun 21 Nov 2010

By popular demand we have put together a gentle horse trek through one of the most beautiful parts of rural Rajasthan, only this time it has been specifically designed for beginners, the more experienced (but perhaps slightly nervous) rider and for those who generally like things a little more relaxed. Using our deep-rooted connections with Rawla Narendra Singh and his charming family at Castle Bijaipur, we have organised a combination tour that will include plenty of time enjoying the laid-back nature of the location – with its swimming pool, massage and yoga facilities – as well as teaching you how to ride and then undertake a short and not-too-strenuous walking horse safari. Riding the fabulous Marwari horse, a breed renowned for its grace, elegance and exotic beauty, you will ride through the southern fringes of the Aravali Hills – a region famed for high plains and plateaux, forests of juniper, unspoilt rural villages, lakes and ancient temples – making it the perfect location for such a trek. Staying at a well appointed camp to learn some techniques before setting out on safari we will ultimately return to Castle Bijaipur where we can relax before heading out to one of the most beautiful towns in India, Udiapur.  Horse treks are one of the best ways of seeing rural India; on this trip, by sending along our specialist riding teacher we will teach you how.

Daily details in brief

Wild Frontiers Price Policy

At Wild Frontiers we believe our clients are savvy enough to see through heavily discounted 'first price' holiday offers and would rather know before they leave home exactly what their tour is going to cost. As such we do not charge local payments, 'optional extras' or force our clients to go through the annoying procedure of splitting every meal bill. With the odd exception our tours are provided on a predominantly full board basis, with mineral water, government passes and permits, entrance fees, and all transport outlined in the various tour itineraries included. Please see individual tour dossiers for specific information.
