Soar Excursions

Soar Excursions, based in Ahmedabad, is the only destination management company in Gujarat offering dedicated horse safaris, using Marwari and Kathiyawari horses from its own stud farms. Its Gujarat itineraries range across birding and wildlife, rural culture and textiles, archaeology and cross-desert experiences in the Little Rann of Kutch, alongside cycling and motorbike tours. The company also runs birding and wildlife trips further afield across Ladakh, Northeast India, the Western Ghats and the Andamans.

Soar is rooted in Gujarat's rural communities, taking travellers to village artisans, textile makers and the salt flats of the Little Rann rather than only the state's urban centres. It works with resorts that follow sustainable practices and prioritise organic produce, and runs field-based study programmes for school and university students that combine natural history with direct interaction with local communities and experts.
