Whether you are a beginner or an expert, every ride creates lasting memories. We focus on building beautiful experiences, from gentle trots with friends to exciting explorations.
About Aravali Forest Adventures
You do not need to be an expert rider to join these trails. Because we stick to a walking pace through the rocky ravines and scrub forest, it is safe for absolute beginners. We provide the helmet and a lead instructor stays with the group, so your only job is to focus on the terrain and the horse.
The Aravali hills are a hidden escape from the busy life of Gurugram. Riding here is less about speed and more about immersion. You will navigate sandy tracks and dense forest paths where the only sound is the rhythm of your horse's hooves. It is a sensory shift—the dry heat turns cool under the tree canopy, and the noise of construction is replaced by the call of birds.
Safety and Terrain
Our trails are designed for safety and relaxation. The terrain includes natural ravines, rocky outcrops, and sandy patches that make every ride feel like an expedition. We enforce a strict walking-only pace for our group jungle safaris, which keeps the experience calm and suitable for riders of any skill level, including children and first-timers. Every ride is guided by an instructor on horseback, supported by ground staff to ensure you are comfortable throughout the 45 to 60 minutes.
Choosing Your Experience
We offer two main ways to explore:
- Shared Forest Rides: Perfect for groups of 4-8 people. It is a social experience where you ride in a single-file line, making it a great option for friends or families.
- Private Golden Hour Rides: If you want a more intimate setting, we reserve specific sunrise or sunset slots for couples. These include dedicated photo stops at scenic ridge points where the light hits the Aravallis best.
Practical Tips
- Wear long pants and closed shoes; the forest scrub can be prickly.
- Book your slots in advance, especially for weekend sunset rides as those fill up quickly.
- We have a 90kg weight limit for riders to ensure the comfort of our school horses.
