Does anyone know where it is possible to do horse riding in/around Kathmandu Valley? Trail riding or similar for relative beginners..

Please let me know if you have any ideas – em...@scai.org.au

Thank you very much

Hi Emma,

in deed you can ride horses at Gorkana Forest reserve but you need to be very patient. I wanted to ride horses twice and ended up waiting the first time for one hour and the second time I went home after 50 minutes of waiting in vain for the horses to arrive...

Namaste

Sorry to say not all ponies/horses in good condition and very often lame.

They tend to be raced up and down hard roads by cowboy style Nepali riders. I found to my distress even reputable stables 'not very good' in terms of care etc.

the Donkey & Pony Sanctuary are caring for cases of distress if you want hands on! Run by Animalnepal look for www.Ullens School had riding stables tall breed horses from India.

Paek resort did have riding stable on their property but not sure if still there.

Have no power through regulations to help the imported horses and could not bear to watch!

Best wishes

Regards
