Elephant Safaris
Riding an elephant takes you back to the royal era, when only the kings use to ride on these majestic beasts, since nothing can even compare with the majesty of the Pachyderm.
Equipped with a howdah, a large seat on which tourist can sit, complete with soft silk cushions, and with a ceremonial umbrella over the riders head, modern day elephant safaris may lack in comparison with the ones that use to be done by the kings, but are no less regal on that account.
The camel may be the most common transport of the desert people and horses may be swift and agile but elephants have always gained favor with the imperial rulers of Rajasthan who rode the massive bulk with an air of majesty that only comes with the position of power. A howdah ( a large seat on the back of the elephant lined with soft silk cushions for comfort) and a chhatra (a ceremonial umbrella) added to the grandeur of the rulers. Feel the same pride as the you ride through the architectural wonders of the beautiful cities or watch the wildlife of Rajasthan perched atop the huge but friendly elephants. Elephant safaris often require many attendants for the regal beast along with the mahouts (the elephant-trainers) and are, thus, the most lavish of all the above-mentioned safaris.
