Like Camel and Horse safaris, another popular form
is the Jeep Safari. The Jeep Safari not only refreshes
and revitalises but one feels close to nature while
driving through the quiet and beautiful countryside.
Let your senses sway to the romance of the surroundings
as you pass forts, palaces, historical landmarks and
villages.
The average daily move is about
150 kms. consisting of approximately five to six hours
of jeep-driving. Spend lazy evenings in bed or swing
to the folk dances. Jeep safaris are organised in
every part of Rajasthan, but safaris organised to
the Bishnoi village near Jodhpur have a special attraction
for tourists.
Motorcycle and Bicycle safaris can also be done in
every part of Rajasthan. For those who want to turn
cycling into a keenly contested game, there is Cycle
Polo too. This year cycle polo was organised at Nawalgarh,
Shekhawati. Elephant Safaris are exciting for those
in search of an experience of a lifetime.
Some tour operators organise elephant safaris between
Jaipur and Pushkar. An exciting sport is Elephant
Polo which provides a spectacle for the audience and
enjoyment to the participants. The bulky animals move
around with surprising speed and poise. The Jaipur
Vintage Car Rally held annually in the month of January
has become a big draw for car lovers, sports lovers,
vintage beauty lovers and tourists alike.
A keenly contested event, this rally is an inimitable
display of well-maintained cars of yesteryears. Among
the vintage models which had come in from different
cities of India to take part in the 1997 Vintage Car
Rally, one could spot the 1903 Humber, 1919 Fiat 501.
1923 Rover, 1936 Mercedes Benz 170V, 1938 Moms 8,
1923 Austin and the 1926 Erskine.
Some of these are available on hire for pleasure rides
and marriages.
