The Kalwar Sāmbhar Equestrian Safari (Day Excursion)

No hour of life is wasted that is spent in the saddle ~ Winston Churchill
The essential joy of being with horses is that it brings us in contact with the rare elements of grace, beauty, spirit, and fire. ~Sharon Ralls Lemon

The Marwari Horses

Marwari horses specially known for their uniquely inward ears have been bred by the Rathore clan in the medieval period. The Marwari horses are known to be an extremely brave and courageous breed of horses. It is believed that a Marwari horse will leave the battlefield in only three conditions; either in victory, death or carrying the wounded master on its back out of the battle field.

The Safari

Adventure the rider gets to ride on untraveled trails through the low lying Aravali range to the shallow wetlands of the Sāmbhar Lake.
Cultural Exploration we ride through the royal Kalwar region crossing the villages exploring local customs and their practices.
Learning Experience the ride begins with a short instructive training session where the ride captain helps the fellow riders to get accustomed with the terrain and make a bond with their respective horses.

Ride to Sāmbhar Lake (30km)

Following the Captain we start riding towards the Sāmbhar Lake through hidden trails and country side. The Sāmbhar Lake is a massive brine wetland also known as Shekhambhari Jheel. It is locally believed that the salt lake was bestowed by the goddess Shekhambhari to the area when their ancestors were running out of resources.

Sāmbhar; the dry sea with no shores is in itself an experience the vast nothingness everywhere the naked eye can see is a sight that is a sight that gets you closer to your inner self. We bid farewell to our lovely horses and kiss goodbye to the the magnificent Sāmbhar as we drive towards the next destination Fort Sawarda palace.
