Camel Safaris
A camel safari across the sands of the Great Indian Thar Desert is a rare experience on old caravan routes, unfolding the marvels of glorious Rajputana - frescoes, intricate paintings and fine Hindu architecture of forts and palaces. Camel safaris on double humped camels are also possible in the high altitude desert of the Nubra valley in Ladakh. |

Elephant Safaris
A safari atop these lofty, gentle, grey pachyderms for a few hours to a few days is an unforgettable experience. They are guided by their mahouts and by their own heritage. Short riding safaris can be done in some of the game parks of North and Central India, whilst longer ones can be undertaken in the jungles of North India. |

Horse Riding
Ride through tiny villages and open spans of sand to witness the colourful ethnic, rustic scenery of Rajasthan. Along the way one can hear the far away melodies of traditional folk music and witness the people's dances and folklore that display the rich legacy and culture of the land. Ibex assists on your safari, choosing the difficulty level, the duration from a day to several days and the terrain and incorporates this in your Rajasthan adventure. |
