About Aravali Horseback Safari
Don't worry if you’ve never touched a horse before—most of our riders start exactly where you are. We pair you with a calm, well-trained horse and a dedicated handler who walks right alongside you, so you can focus on the trail rather than the reins. We are just 10 minutes from Golf Course Road, making it an easy way to swap city noise for the quiet rhythm of the Aravallis.
A Different Perspective on Gurgaon
When you ride with us, you aren't just going through the motions. You are exploring the Gwal Pahari scrub forest and ravines, seeing a side of the Aravallis that most people in the city drive right past. The terrain changes from sandy, open stretches to winding, wooded paths, giving you a real sense of exploration.
Why Choose Our Safari?
- For Everyone: We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. If you are a beginner, your handler stays with you for the full 90 minutes. If you are experienced, our Lead Marshals can adjust the pace, letting you get a better feel for the ride.
- Expert Guidance: Our team is built on a foundation of professional training. With NCC-trained coaches on-site, safety is the first priority. You’ll get a 10-15 minute briefing before we head out, covering the basics like steering and stopping, so you feel confident in the saddle.
- The Experience: We time our safaris to match the best light. Whether you book a sunrise slot to hear the forest wake up or a sunset ride when the hills turn golden, you get a view that is hard to find anywhere else in the NCR.
What to Expect
This is a natural adventure, not a theme park. Expect dust, uneven ground, and the occasional branch—it is part of the charm. We provide a sanitized riding helmet, so just come in comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes. We handle the rest, from the horses to the photos.
CanterWoods
I created CanterWoods to be the escape I always wanted—a space just minutes from the city where you can actually breathe. Here, it’s not just about the riding; it’s about the bond you build with these animals and the peace that comes when you’re out in the hills.
