TESTIMONIALS
Horse icon

This was my first time traveling to Gujarat India. I'd read that it's like the wild west, a region of environmental extremes. These kinds of places have always attracted me provided it was safe and the accommodations comfortable. My stay at the Kutch Classic Riding Camp provided me with many incredible experiences. A friendly staff member lead me to my elegant tent which had everything thing I needed, even a fan. The camp has a stable of handsome Marwari horses, one more stunning than the other. It was hard to choose which one I wanted to ride. I got to cantor across the white desert, encountered wild camels, experienced the country side intimately like you can only do on horse back. I rode into small villages where I was greeted with curiosity and delight. I'm a photographer whose passion is to capture/document the culture and tribal traditions. The organization of the tour and the accommodations were excellent and the meals, tasty. I look forward to my next adventure with the Kutch Rider Camp.

Kutch Classic Rider Camp gives you great opportunity to explore a very interesting desert region in Kutch. During the safari, I had a great great opportunity for some interesting sites of Kutch, region, ancient temples and monuments.
If you are an adventure lover, a horse safari across Rann of Kutch with tented camps on the baits will be an interesting experience and Kutch Classic Rider Camp is highly recommended for that matter, as they can assure a well organized and very exciting trip.

I visited Kutch got a months artist residency in January 2019, and we had a truly amazing time at the Rider Camp after being invited over. Krishanapal, the owner, provided a show of the stunning marwari horses on the beautiful site at Kutch. The setting is tranquil and beautiful. We were presented with a gorgeous meal and camp fires. A wonderful and very friendly, warm atmosphere! Would love to go back. An experience I'll never forget! Thank you.

Very nice place, you will not find such kind of hospitality anywhere else. Mr Singh used to meet every guest personally and all the staff are very nice. You will feel just awesome. Love this place, people, vibes, food, music, peace, sunrise, sunset, white Rann... everything is just awesome :)
Mr Singh is the most humble, down to earth person I have ever met in my life.

Visited Kutch during Christmas this year and stayed at this camp! Staff is so friendly and tents are so well maintained, it added flavours to our trip. Food they served was delicious and the folk program and bonfire they host at night was full entertaining. Overall it was an amazing experience staying here. it's a well-maintained camp which will definitely make your staying experience worthwhile.

Beautiful space and wonderful staff. The food was fabulous and the staff was very attentive. It a safe place for women traveling alone. The host Mr Girvar Singh was very helpful. Will definitely come back again.

Away from the crowd. Standing apart, a lovely five kilometers away, from the otherwise clustered resorts, tents, and other attractions at Dhordo is this stark yet charmingly designed set of tents that form the Kutch Classic Rider Camp. The service and hospitality are outstanding and the food, simple and divine. Much later after we met the charismatic owner Mr Girvar Singh is when we learned that 'Rider' here means 'horse riders'. A beautiful drive away is also the very serene Chhari-Dhand bird sanctuary. Altogether a romantic introduction to Kutch!
