Relief Riders International Relief Riders International (RRI) = Relief missions on horseback in developing countries. Joseph Campbell

"There is what I would call the Hero journey, the night sea journey, the hero quest, where individuals are going to bring forth in their lives something that was never beheld before."

Find the ride you already have in you.

Sometimes the best journeys begin with a decision that doesn’t quite make sense on paper.

You may not have ridden a horse in years. You may be wondering if you’re ready for two weeks of adventure in a place you’ve never experienced before.

Take the leap.

For nearly 25 years, Relief Riders International has brought riders together to explore extraordinary landscapes on horseback while helping communities in need through medical, educational and humanitarian programs.

Along the way, strangers become friends, unfamiliar places become unforgettable, and the adventure becomes something much more meaningful.

“An experience like no other! My experience of the February Nagaur Relief Ride was a breakthrough that picked me up and put me down somewhere exponentially further along the road than I expected to get. In my field of travel writing, the description ‘life-changing’ is bandied about loosely, but I could not be more sincere when I say this trip changed my life.”

— Andrew Mersmann, Author of Frommer’s 500 Places Where You Can Make a Difference.

You never know what you might discover until you go.

Some 620 million people across India defecate outside, the largest number world-wide. About 70% of rural Indians don’t use toilets, and 28 million children have no toilet facilities in school, according to Unicef. It is common practice for India’s mothers to dispose of their children’s waste in the open.

After 10 years of working in the humanitarian field, it is clear to us that simple measures such as sanitation and hygiene are essential for children to survive.

About 48 per cent of children in India are suffering from some degree of malnutrition. Diarrhea and worm infection are two major health conditions that affect school age children, at the least impacting their learning abilities, at worst contributing to high child mortality rates.

Ride with us this November and make the difference.

RELIEF RIDERS
NEW 2026 / 2027 Ride Season

In November 2026 and February 2027, we return to Rajasthan for two extraordinary humanitarian expeditions — where powerful riding meets meaningful, measurable impact.

🐎 November 12–21, 2026 | Pushkar Relief Ride
Ride across golden desert landscapes toward the legendary Pushkar Fair while establishing mobile eye surgery and dental camps in remote villages. Along the way, help distribute livestock, educational materials, and sporting equipment to families and students whose lives are directly changed by this work.

🐎 February 22 – March 4, 2027 | Khimsar Relief Ride
Journey on horseback through sweeping dunes to rural communities surrounding Khimsar’s oasis, delivering critical medical care and sustainable livelihood support. Witness sight restored, independence reclaimed, and connection built one village at a time.

If you’ve been waiting for the right adventure — this is your invitation.

Spots are limited.
Join us.

Join us in India this February for a horseback journey through the Thar Desert, riding from the village of Baghsara across varied terrain — from rocky hills to open desert plains — and past ancient monuments far from the usual routes.

You’ll travel through Bishnoi land, where generations of conservation have allowed wildlife to move freely, and take part in hands-on community support through medical outreach and educational assistance. The journey takes us to a remote desert oasis in Khimsar.

If a Relief Ride has long been part of your plans, this February may be the right time to act. A handful of rider spaces remain for what promises to be an exceptional journey. We’d be pleased to have you with us.

February 2026 Khimsar Relief Ride:
16-26 February, 2026
