Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to picture your royal experience with confidence.
What is camel polo and how is it played?
Camel polo follows the spirit of traditional polo, but each camel carries a player guided by a skilled rider, with long mallets used to move the ball. The pace is slower and more theatrical, making it as much a spectacle to watch as a sport to play.
Where is camel polo played in Jaipur?
Matches take place on a suitable heritage-style ground in and around Jaipur, chosen for its royal atmosphere and the sweeping Rajasthan backdrop that frames the play.
Can I simply watch, or do I have to take part?
Both are possible. Many guests enjoy it purely as spectators with hospitality on the sidelines, while a guided, safe demonstration can be arranged for those who want to feel the thrill first-hand.
Are the camels comfortable during a match?
Yes. The camels are calm, well-rested and always accompanied by experienced handlers. Their well-being sets the pace and length of every match.
