Horse Riding & Aravali Trail Highlights
A glimpse into life at CanterWoods. From sunrise rides through the rugged Aravali hills to quiet mornings in the stables, see what happens when you trade city noise for a trail.
This is the heart of what we offer: an unforgettable ride through the Aravali hills as the sun sets. Our group trails are perfect for friends and family to escape the city and experience nature from a unique perspective.
We create more than just rides; we create memories. This is a look at our private, romantic setup in the forest, perfect for celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, or simply making any day special after a beautiful trail ride.

Horse riding is a wonderful activity for children, building confidence and creating pure joy. We ensure a safe and fun environment where kids can learn to ride, interact with the horses, and develop a love for the outdoors.
For those with a bit more confidence, the trails offer moments of thrill and excitement. Here you can see our experienced riders enjoying a canter through the dusty paths, a truly exhilarating part of the safari.

About Featured
Whether it is your first time in the saddle or you are a regular rider, our trails focus on a raw connection with the horse and the natural terrain. We do not use artificial, theme-park style setups; instead, we prioritize a genuine, guided experience through the Gwal Pahari scrub forests, with handlers always walking alongside first-timers to ensure you feel secure while you find your rhythm.
Riding the Aravalis
Our signature Aravali Horseback Safari is not just a ride; it is a way to see the Gurgaon landscape from a completely different angle. We offer 90-minute and 120-minute trails that take you through dusty ravines and quiet forest paths. Because we are only 10 minutes from Golf Course Road, you get the isolation of the wild without the need for a long drive.
For Beginners and Pros
If you have never been on a horse, do not worry. We provide NCC-trained coaches and experienced marshals who accompany every group. For kids or those who just want a taste of the experience, our 20-minute arena joyrides provide a safe, controlled environment to get comfortable in the saddle.
Beyond the Trail
CanterWoods is more than a riding school. We host private 'Ride Into Love' couple packages, complete with a rustic boho setup, and offer pet boarding for when you need someone to look after your dogs while you are away. We also have a dedicated space for equestrian training, including dressage and show jumping, for those looking to build their skills properly.
Plan Your Visit
We operate on a slot-based system to keep the trails peaceful. Whether you are looking for a morning sunrise safari or an evening golden hour ride, we recommend booking in advance. If you are a parent looking for an outdoor activity for your child, our horses are hand-picked for their calm temperament and are perfect for helping children build confidence and balance.
CanterWoods
We created CanterWoods to be an escape from the city’s constant noise. It is a place where you meet horses like Zorawar and Akira, and simply breathe for a bit. Whether you are here to train or just want a quiet trail ride, we are all about building that soulful connection with our animals.
