The subcontinent of India lies in south Asia, between Pakistan, China and Nepal. To the north it is bordered by the world's highest mountain chain, where foothill valleys cover the northernmost of the country's 26 states. Further south, plateaus, tropical rain forests and sandy deserts are bordered by palm fringed beaches. Our riding tours are mainly in the state of Rajasthan. Rajasthan is the Indian state which borders Pakistan on the western side of the country. The name means "Land of the Kings" and the Rajputs who lived here for over a thousand years are known for their code of chivalry and honor. They were never a threat to the Moghul rulers of northern India, and perhaps that is why so many of their buildings and monuments still stand today.India continues to offer the type of exotic charm and colorful architecture and spectacular landscapes that have lured travelers for thousands of years. The Rajasthan program covers visitor attractions such as Delhi, Udaipur, and Jaipur, but the best way to explore India is on horseback. The villages you will visit by horse lie far away from the mainstream of tourism, but the palaces and castles where you’ll stay at night are fully equipped with all the modern comforts you might want. A few times you will stay in tents along the way, when the distance between guest palaces is more than a day’s ride apart, but even these tents are exceptionally luxurious. They are high and roomy, with separate sleeping, dressing, and toilet areas. This is an outstanding ride: The service is excellent, the food nothing short of grand.
