Asia/South-Pacific > India > All Regions > Udaipur/Rajasthan
The starting point for our horseback safaris and most of the other activities is the romantic city of Udaipur, located in the heart of the Aravalli-Mountains. Bofore independence, Udaipur was the capital of the Rajput kingdom of Mewar and she has retained much of her flair and grandeur till today. There is probably no other city in India quite so romantic and enchanting as Udaipur.
It's special location at the shore of a couple of lakes gave her the nicknames "Venice of the East" and "Kashmir of Rajasthan".
Udaipur is situated in southern Rajasthan, famous for its rich nature and wilflife. Nowhere else in Rajasthan can you experience riding through tree different type of landescapes, hillcountry with dry deciduous virgin forest, fertile plains mixed with dry savannah and desert.

Additional information about the area
Excursions: Dicover with us the major and minor sights of Southern Rajasthan on horseback.Especially great is the ride from Udaipur up into the Aravalli-Mountains to the medieval fortress of Kumbhalgarh, situated on one of the highest peaks of the region and offering spectacular views.
Another highlight is the visit to the Jain temples of Ranakpur, situated in a small hamlet in the middle of the jungle.
In order to show our riders the diverse nature of southern Rajasthan with its interesting flora and fauna, our horsback safaris and rides lead through the three major wildlife sanctuaries of this region, Kumbhalgarh, Jaisamand and Sita-Mata. They are the home of most of the animals which can be found in Rajasthan except the tiger. However, leopards, wolves, foxes, hyenas, jackals, deer, gazelle, antelopes and many smaller animals can be found.
Rajasthan is also the venue of many colorful festivals, such as the Pushkar Camel Fair, Balotra Cattle Market or Shilpgram Festival in Udaipur.
