experience the real India? Then come and join us on
a Village Safari. You will be taken by jeep to a

Our safari camps:
Accommodation during the riding portion of the
tour (in most cases) will be in a safari camp. The
reason for this is that many of our routes lead
through scarcely populated areas away from the usual
tourist paths. So very often the night has to be
spend in the nature away from human dwellings.
However all of our campsites are chosen with great
care and offer a maximum safety and superb views.
Away from the busy Indian towns or villages they are
a paradise for nature lovers and bird-watchers.
Though away from civilization, our camp offers all
necessary facilities to the riders. The tents are
comfortable and inviting with double or single
occupancy. Each tent is equipped with beds, chairs,
bedrolls, and floor covering. The camp is having
both toilet and shower facilities. Hot water is
provided in buckets. Towels, soaps, etc. are
supplied.
Breakfast and dinner is served in our dining area,
an open space with a sunroof, tables and chairs.
Breakfast is Continental style with fruits of the
season, eggs and toast. Lunch will be either taken
as package on the trail or brought to you by Jeep.
Dinner is a traditional 3-course menu of Indian food
(non-spicy). Vegetarian food preparation is
possible. Our camp gives a very colorful impression,
reminding of the hunting camps of the Maharajas. The
tents made in the traditional Indian style with a
roofed entrance where the riders can leave their
shoes. Grouped around the dinning area they are
encircled by a partition enclosure of cloth with a
colorful Rajasthan pattern.
Your guides:
Our trails are run by a member of the noble family
of Boheda Shaktwat and his wife. The Shaktawats of
Boheda trace their lineage to Shakti Singh
(1540-1594), brother of Maharana Pratap.
