JEEP SAFARI INDIA
 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.
