The routes vary according to ability of the riders and the season. There a great opportunity for long trots and canters, when the footing allows. Their guides set the pace, as they know the forest and footing by heart. Dry and rainy seasons evidently changes the footing. The forest is full of life especially on the weekends.

You often pass through a village to enter a beautiful open plain made for a good canter – if the footing allows.
