| Description: | Discover the ancient art of mounted archery in a safe, ethical, and immersive setting at Tabela Nepal. This half-day experience offers a rare opportunity to combine traditional archery with mindful horsemanship, guided by experienced instructors who prioritize safety, animal welfare, and authentic learning.
The program begins with an introduction to the horses and farm animals, allowing participants to become familiar with their environment and build comfort around the horses. You will then take part in a traditional archery session on the ground, learning correct posture, technique, and focus while shooting with a traditional bow.
Following this, a short riding lesson prepares you for mounted archery by establishing balance, control, and calm communication with the horse. With these foundations in place, you will progress to the mounted archery session, where you will practice shooting arrows from horseback in a controlled and supportive environment.
Set against the peaceful countryside near Kathmandu, this experience offers a powerful blend of physical coordination, concentration, and connection with the horse. Suitable for beginners and adventurous travelers alike, the mounted archery package provides a memorable insight into a historic skill practiced with respect, precision, and harmony between horse and rider. |
