~ India ~

For twenty years our sister company, Equitours, has been organizing horseback riding tours in India. The colorful country has become one of our most popular riding destinations, as a result of both the fantastic riding and the tremendous opportunities to experience the culture and view the wildlife.  Utilizing our considerable expertise, we have created itineraries that will take you to some of India's most fascinating and unexplored places, providing you with an unparalleled and unique vacation experience. You will see the rich culture of India from many angles and taste its broad range of delicious cuisine. After a tour of multifaceted Delhi, you will journey by air, train, automobile, and elephant on a trip designed to capture the essence of this land of paradox and beauty.

We have not neglected visits to well known places like the Taj Mahal, but our itineraries are designed to show you India in a remarkable and distinctive way. Exquisite palaces, ancient temples, historical forts and wildlife sanctuaries help make this trip exotic and memorable. Visit ancient desert castles that have millennia of history within their picturesque walls and villages that have changed little for a thousand years. Explore the immense biodiversity of remote national parks where tigers still roam. Experience the exhilaration of viewing tigers from the back of an elephant and take in the abundance of birds that attracts ornithologists from all over the world.
