Five days riding from Ghanerao to Kumbhalgarh. Five days with a horse matched to your ability, a syce per four riders and heritage properties every night but one.
Marwari horses have inward-curving ears and a temperament that rewards a light hand. The assessment ride is how the stable decides which one you get.

5 days of proper riding. The support vehicle was never far when someone needed it. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Worth every rupee.
Route planning was the strong point — long days, but the stops were in the right places. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones.
Machines were well maintained and the daily briefings were short and useful. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought. Worth every rupee.
Rajasthan on two wheels is the way to see it. No complaints about the organisation. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Recommended.
