Ride to the Taalchapper Blackbuck
Sanctuary From Nawalgarh
Tailor made Programme
By ROYAL EXPEDITIONS
The safari recreates the age-old charm of horseback travel. Let your senses sway to the
romance of the desert as you pass forts, palaces and historical landmarks. Gallop on the
deserts, plains, canter through the hills or just get off and trek along. Spend evenings in
camps and swing to the folk dances.
Rajasthan ‐ Land of the Kings ‐ is steeped in romantic history, chivalry and valor. Formerly
known as Rajputana, it boasts of the finest fortress‐palaces, built with sandstone quarried
from the land itself. In contrast with the pastel shades of the desert landscape are the
brightly coloured costumes of its handsome people. With its turbaned men and richly
jeweled women, its havelies and villages, its fairs and festivals, Rajasthan beckons you.
