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.
