Ride the Legendary Marwari Horses of Rajasthan

One of the highlights of a horse riding holiday in India is the opportunity to ride the famous Marwari horse, a breed renowned for its distinctive inward-curving ears, endurance and spirited yet willing nature. In Rajasthan, riders explore the ancient Aravalli Hills, wooded valleys, desert plains and traditional villages while discovering a landscape dotted with historic forts and palaces. Our Leopard Safari takes riders through the spectacular Jawai region, combining trail riding with opportunities to spot the area's famous leopards on dedicated wildlife safaris. Visits to iconic locations such as Udaipur and Kumbhalgarh Fort add a fascinating cultural dimension to this horse riding holiday.
