This is the traditional welcome every person will encounter one time or the other in Rajasthan. It reflects the age-old institution of hospitality, which is so greatly a part of Indian culture. Come and join us for a royal adventure, a great regal tradition, a horse safari.
An age-old way of travelling and time pass for the Maharajas, the kings, princes and nobles, it was practiced in India for centuries and is now revived for visitors and horse-lovers. Let us take you into a whole new world, vibrant and extraordinary. Encounter with us the colours of Rajasthan in this most unique and time-honoured way.
Princess Trails is run by a member of one of the oldest and most honoured noble families of Udaipur, whose history is interwoven with horses for many centuries, and his German wife. Make a spectacular journey to the past and discover the colourful history of India.
Safari Trails
The Marwari Horses
use for safaris and trail riding
Nearly all the horses we use for safaris and trail riding are Marwari horses. This breed is native in Rajasthan and best suited for long rides in this region.
Formerly bred for the purpose of war, the Marwari horse has Arab and Turkmeni ancestors, which were brought to India by Central-Asian and Muslim invaders. His home is the desert kingdom of Marwar from where it spread through the whole of Rajasthan. Its name means quite literally “from the land of death”. Over centuries it was bred in the harsh desert climate of Rajasthan by warring Rajput clans.
The outcome was a hardy, intelligent horse with a great stamina, which could thrive on little food and water. Trained highly in the art of war it was known for its bravery on the battlefield. Combining sublime beauty, an unbreakable spirit with courage and loyalty unto death, these horses were the bold and magnificent chargers of the fearless Rajput warriors.
