in the world offer the exotic charm and colorful pageantry
of Rajasthan. Here is a fascinating culture as ancient as
Europe's with unsurpassed architectural achievements. The
itineraries include justly famous tourist attractions like
Delhi, Udaipur and Jaipur, but the way to visit this intriguing
country is on horseback. Most of the horses are Marwaris which
in former times were superb war horses, greatly prized by
their owners; many of the ones we ride are now polo ponies.
The palaces or castles where we stay have been converted to
hold modern comforts
without losing any of their ancient charm. The service is
outstanding and the food excellent. Age-old traditions still
flourish, along with arts and crafts, and shopping opportunities
are varied and irresistibly tempting. The Pushkar and Nagaur
rides include visits to local fairs. The
Pushkar Camel Fair is one of the great historical and colorful
events of India. For untold centuries tribesmen have met
at the full moon to trade camels, cattle and horses. Of late
years there have been some 200,000 people and 50,000 animals.
The Nagaur Fair is smaller, less touristy and without the
Brahma festivities
