Rajasthan-
known for its forts, palaces, and temples which are a reminder of t he glorious
past. Kingdoms were carved and established by the Rajputs on horseback, while
swords were stained with enemy blood. Horses were highly priced and a Rajput
warrior would give anything to own a good horse. Great care was taken to breed
horses and to keep a clean and pure lineage. The result of many years of dedication
and hardwork helped create breeds like the Marwari, Kathiawadi and the Sindhi,
each having its own distinct characteristics and bred solely for the purpose
of war. These horses were noted for their stamina and fierce loyalty to their
masters. With these gallant steeds, the Rajputs became famous worldwide.
There is an old saying: "If God didnt create the horse, He wouldnt
have created the Rajputs."
Para Sailing and Balooning
The joy of being aloft in the wind and the thrill of defying the elements is
what parasailing and ballooning are all about. Unlike other aerosports, in these,
once off the ground, the sportsman is on his own. Since the skies are an element
foreign to us, it would be judicious to take all precautions before indulging
in the joy afforded by the sports. Responsibility for the safety for the sportsman
depends to a large extent on the team helping out in this sport. Ballooning
on other hand,permits the balloonist to soar high in the sky and drift over
the picturesque terrain.
Parasailing and ballooning are annual events held in Jaipur, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer
and Pushkar and attract a large number of tourists and adventure seekers.
