Day 4

A great day ride through fertile farmland broken by occasional parts of wild forest country and open wilderness. Today you will leave the Aravalli-Mountains behind and descend on the Malwa Plain with its fertile soil and rich farms. Discover the fascinating rural life of Rajasthan where the fieldwork is still done with oxen and handwork. The village kids guard flocks of goats and sheep and great the riders enthusiastically with a “Namaste”, the Indian hello. Meet the women fetching water from the village well, wearing bright and colorful saris.


Riding through this country is like a journey back into the past.
The camp will be situated near the Badwei Lake, where a lot of water birds such as ducks, teals, flamingos or cranes, can be observed.


If time permits, the riders can visit the town of Bhinder and its small fort.

Visit havelis and rawlas (village mansions) on the way.

Arrival in the camp around 4 pm. and afterwards sundowner on a small hill, overlooking the whole countryside.

Day 6

Bhinder : Barisadri

Another day ride through a fantastic countryside. The soil is now so fertile that even Opium is grown in small fields. It flowers between January and March, with many small white flowers.

Today the riders reach Barisadri, once a major Jagir (feudal land owned by a noble) with an impressive castle in the middle of the town. You will cross the small railway line connecting Barisadri with Mauvi once a week with a steam engine. Around here the villages are much richer than anywhere else in Rajasthan due to the rich soil. Most farmhouses sport richly ornamented entry gates and even the bullock carts are made of carved wood.

Our camp today is situated in the former garden of the Barisadri royal family. Before independence the women used to spend their days here wandering besides jasmine hedges and sitting in marble pavilions. Today parts of the gardens are used for farming, however parts of it are still reminders of the glorious days long gone by. After arrival the riders will visit Barisadri Palace.

Day 7

Barisadri : Boheda

Today you will ride from Barisadri to the Jagir of Boheda, the ancestral home of our family. A ride along sandy paths through small villages and occasional stretches of grassland.

Lunch will be taken in a ruined fort along the way.

Arrival in Boheda around 4 pm. and overnight stay in the family rawla, a chraming old village fort dating back to the 18th century. It is only natural that the evening is spent in the gardens around a camp fire telling stories about the old times, when there were still many horses, camels and elephants stabled here.

Day 8

Boheda : Sita-Mata Sanctuary

Today you will ride through the Sita-Mata Wildlife Sanctuary, a wild and untamed piece of land, home of the last leopards of this area.

The Wildlife-Sanctuary is situated far away from all touristic circuits and very few visitor find their way to this natural jewel. That is one of the reasons why it is the best place for sighting animals.

With some luck the riders can observe cheetal and sambar deer, Nilgai antelopes, monkeys, gazelles, mongoose and many smaller animals and birds, including the majestic peacock, national bird of India.

Return to Boheda is around late afternoon. If possible a bullock cart ride through the village is arranged in the evening.
