Rohet Garh Sightseeing Tour
Experience Rural Rajasthan, Heritage & Marwari Horse Safari
Away from the busy streets of Jodhpur, the countryside of Marwar reveals a quieter side of Rajasthan. Surrounded by farmland, desert landscapes, and traditional villages, Rohet offers a glimpse into the Rajasthan that still follows its old rhythms and traditions.
This private Rohet Garh sightseeing tour combines heritage, village life, Bishnoi culture, and a memorable horse safari through the countryside. Ride through peaceful rural landscapes on a Marwari horse, meet local communities, and discover a side of Rajasthan that most travellers miss.
Rohet Garh is a historic heritage property belonging to the Champawat Rajput family of Marwar. Unlike the grand forts of Rajasthan, Rohet has a more personal character — a place where heritage is connected with village life, local traditions, and the surrounding desert countryside.
The villages around Rohet are home to Bishnoi communities known for their respect for nature and wildlife. A visit here is not about rushing from one monument to another; it is about experiencing the landscape, meeting people, and understanding the everyday life of rural Rajasthan.

- Traditional Crafts & Local Communities – Depending on the route and available time, the tour can include interactions with local artisans who continue traditional skills like weaving, embroidery, and handicrafts passed through generations.
- Rural Rajasthan Photography – The landscape around Rohet offers excellent photography opportunities with desert surroundings, village scenes, traditional costumes, cattle trails, and beautiful evening light over the Marwar countryside.
