At Fifth Chukker Polo Club in Katabu, polo and several club activities go hand in hand. Options include mountain bike rides, trekking in Kangimi, and various event formats. For your planning, first consider whether you want to choose an activity or plan a trip around a tournament date.

Polo and Events

The club has three professional polo fields and 300 stables. It holds two major polo tournaments each year. It also makes its equestrian facilities available for private polo tournaments and sponsored events. The major tournaments are part of the annual programme; making the facilities available for private or sponsored events is a separate occasion. If you want to plan your trip around a tournament date, check the current schedule directly with the club.

Rides and Trekking

The club offers guests mountain bikes to ride around the polo fields. Another option is a trekking tour to Kangimi Dam, which lets you explore the resort. The club also offers hiking and horse-trekking trails in Kangimi. When choosing, consider whether you want to cycle, head for a destination, or hike or ride in Kangimi: guests can ride mountain bikes around the polo fields, the trekking tour leads to Kangimi Dam, and hiking and horse-trekking trails in Kangimi are part of the club’s offerings. Quad bikes are available to rent from the club. The Fifth Chukker resort covers 3,000 hectares. Contact the club directly to check current availability of the trekking tour and quad bike rentals.

Bike Polo and Activities for Children

For private or business events, the Fifth Chukker Polo Academy offers customisable bike polo packages. Options range from one-day training sessions to weekend or week-long training camps, as well as practice and challenge sessions. This makes it possible to compare the formats both by duration and by type of session. Contact the club directly to confirm availability and booking terms.

Children can enjoy an introduction to horses and pony rides. The focus is on horses and pony rides, unlike the polo-related tournament and training options. Contact the club directly to find out whether this activity is currently available for your visit and under what conditions.

Finding Accommodation and Choosing Your Travel Dates

When looking for a holiday rental in Katabu, it helps to decide first what your trip is for. A trip centred on a tournament depends on the club’s event schedule; for an Academy programme, the period depends on the training duration you choose. The difference is practical: for a tournament, the current dates matter; for training, it is the format you choose, from one day to a week.
