Sturdy, well – maintained horses
are nothing new to the visitors but a few could have taken such long trips on horse –
backs. Conditions are similar to camel safaris with grooms accompanying. We do undertake
such tours in Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. There are bonfires and entertainment
provided by folk entertainers on the way. A tiring but exhilarating experience.
