Relief Riders International

Leads Relief Mission on Horseback Through the Himayalas

Journey amongst extraordinary mountains, vibrant with color, while they grant the greatest gift. Experience “the roof of the world” on horseback as a medical team and a caravan of pack horses carrying relief supplies.

Relief Riders International is a humanitarian based, adventure travel company that organizes horseback journeys through developing countries. Their adventure rides are designed to integrate adventure with understanding and aid. They create a setting for genuine interactions between travelers and locals, while providing much needed relief to communities in need.

The next adventure ride, planned for July 31st to August 15th 2005, will take them up into breathe taking Himalayan mountain passes, through deep narrow valleys; to the area many call “Little Tibet.” There will be 6 - 12 riders, and a caravan of 6 - 8 pack horses carrying medical and other life sustaining supplies.

Relief Riders International has worked with experts, both in the U.S. and in India to identify the current development initiatives, programs and communities in the Ladakh region.

Based on a needs assessment tour, Relief Riders International will set up medical camps in the area they will be traveling through. Ride participants will assist the doctors in camp logistics, triaging and the distribution of medicine to patients.
