HORSE SAFARIS
JUNJHUNU INTENSITY: Moderate TERRAIN: Mostly flat with some hills
The entire theme of these horse safaris is to re enact the grand hunting camps and journeys of the British inspection teams and parties of the Raj days. Coasting on nostalgia, these safaris use similar colourful deluxe luxury oriental tents, a retinue of attendants waiting on the riders and the guests, folk musicians, masseurs, shoe polish boys, tent men, cooks and equipment carried by chauffeur driven 4WD vehicles, which can also accommodate non- riding spouses. The menus include old Rajasthani recipes as well as continental dishes. The stables boast pure Indian bred horses such as the Marwaris, Khatiawaris and Sindhis. Along with a few thoroughbreds from Europe . They have six fixed departure horse safaris per year that last between three to nine days); three safaris at the famous horse/ camel fairs of Nagore/ Balotra and Pushkar; another safari ride to the Talchapar Black buck game sanctuary in Bikaner. In August due to the monsoon rain, camping is not possible so the ride rests at forts and castles of the Shekhawati region for the night.
