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 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. With 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,
you 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, past 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 camp
sites which are splashed with colour in the form of local folk dance and
music. These
safaris will be escorted by an English speaking Trail Guide.
