What makes Shekhawati Brigade Horse safari tours memorable is the experience of riding pure bred Indian horses like the Marwaris, Kathiawadis and the Sindhis cross country,
in unspoilt terrain where you also interact with nomads many a times, the comfortable luxurious camps and cultural scenario with accompanying and invited folk musicians.
This way you get to see the real India, the experience becomes even more memorable when shared with like-minded people having love for horses, nature and the environment.
The horse/camel safaris are organized with the base at Roop Niwas Palace, in Nawalgarh, Shekhawati, Rajasthan. In the stables at Roop Niwas there are several bred horses and camels. Various routes and itineraries have been surveyed thoroughly and worked out. Special care was taken to make these routes as varied and interesting as possible.
The planned itineraries are meant to give the guest an interesting experience with horses/camel along with a complete insight into the desert life style. To view the flora and fauna of Rajasthan and to interact with the local population by way of village visits. The Lunch halts and camping sights are in unique settings. Unlike routes of mountain trails, the routes pass semi desertic terrain, forests, salt lake, marshes and flat grasslands.
This offers opportunities for the riders to trot canter and may be gallop. The camel routes move northwest from Shekhawati in unspoilt desert terrain unexploited by any body as yet. The team has been carefully put together, and there is a well experienced, out rider, an Ex-Army cook and camp incharge, folk musicians, people trained to erect and wind up camps, cross country jeep and truck drivers.
