The climax of the safari is the stay at Jaisamand, the second-largest man-made lake in Asia. Here it is possible to stay one or more nights so the riders can relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the lake.
On this route a number of very interesting tribal villages will be visited. Here the riders can observe their particular style of living and learn more about their culture. Wherever possible they can see their traditional handicrafts or way of farming. Most of these villages are still constructed in the same way than hundreds of years ago. All huts and houses are made of mud and are perched together on the top of a hill, surrounded by a wall of thorn branches.
Besides the riders will see the worth-seeing fort of Bambora and the famous temple of Jagat which sports some fine stone carving, including a couple of erotic carvings. Finally the riders will reach the second-largest man-made lake in Asia, Jaisamand Lake. Built by Maharana Jai Singh of Udaipur in the 17 th century, it measures today 14 km in length and 9 km in width. Beautiful marble chatris and elephants are situated around the dam. The two summer palaces of the former queens of Udaipur are located on top of two hills overlooking the lake. After arrival in the camp the riders are taken on a pleasant boat trip around Jaisamand Lake.
The hills neighboring Jaisamand Lake were turned into a wildlife sanctuary featuring a number of animals such as leopards, deer, wild boar and crocodiles. Bird lovers will appreciate the 200 different species of bird found around Jaisamand.
