When most people think of Ranthambore, they imagine jeeps, forests, and camera-clicking tourists. But what if there was another way to experience the same wild beauty — slower, quieter, and far more connected? That’s where Marwari horse safaris at Maa Ashapura Farm come in.
This isn’t your usual tourist activity. It’s raw. It’s regal. And it’s deeply rooted in Rajasthani tradition.
The Marwari horse isn’t just any horse — it’s a symbol of Rajasthan’s warrior past. Known for their curved ears and fierce loyalty, these horses were once used by Rajput kings in battle. Riding one isn’t just about sightseeing — it’s about stepping into a story.
At Maa Ashapura Farm, guests get the rare chance to ride these magnificent animals through open farmland, forest edges, rocky trails, and peaceful village roads. There’s no loud engine or tourist rush — just the rhythmic sound of hooves and the wind brushing past your ears.
You don’t have to be an expert rider to join. The farm has trained handlers and experienced guides who match you with the right horse. If it’s your first time on a horse, no problem — they’ll walk you through it, and the horses are calm and well-trained.
If you’re already into riding, then get ready — this is a real treat. Wide open trails, panoramic views of the Aravallis, and that rare freedom to just ride with the horizon in sight.
You’re still in Ranthambore territory — which means wildlife is always around. And guess what? On horseback, you’re less disruptive. Deer don’t scatter as fast, birds stay perched longer, and even langurs seem curious rather than cautious.
There’s something truly special about spotting wildlife without the hum of a vehicle. It’s just you, the horse, and the wild — the way nature probably intended it.
Every safari is accompanied by someone who knows the land — not just as a guide, but as a local. They’ll point out old temples hidden in the brush, tell you stories about the terrain, and even show you medicinal plants still used by villagers.
Halfway through, you might stop at a village for a cup of tea or a snack cooked over firewood. These little pauses turn the ride into something more than just an adventure — they make it human.
It’s not just about the views or the ride. It’s about the feeling you carry long after it’s over. The silence. The simplicity. The connection.
Marwari horse safaris at Maa Ashapura Farm aren’t just an activity — they’re an experience. One that makes you slow down, tune in, and see Ranthambore in a way few ever do.
