Logistics

Accommodation

,Accommodation Notes Accommodation in India is as varied as the country itself. On our tours we stay in a mix of hotels, heritage properties, camp sites and homestays. Standards do not equate to standards in the UK and it's best to approach each type of accommodation with an open mind. Service can be slow in places especially when travelling with a group. For the most part hotels do not have heating so in the winter months it can be chilly and if you feel the cold you may wish to ask for extra blankets. Hot water is not always available 24 hours a day in some of the smaller properties, and with a group staying you might find if you are showering last you may miss out on the hottest water.

Transportation & Flights

In order to make reservations on Indian trains we require your full passport details. It is important that we receive these details as soon as possible so we are ready to make the arrangements as soon as train tickets are available to buy. Travelling on an Indian train is a fantastic experience, with millions using the rail network every day it is the perfect opportunity to meet local families. Due to the system for booking train tickets in India, whilst we'll try to ensure groups are as close together as possible, it may not be possible to have customers sat together in the same carriages. In such cases our Tour Leaders will help everyone to find their seats and ensure you get the most out of your journey.,

You should confirm all visa related questions with the relevant Embassy prior to departure. Tiger Safari permit requirements: Ranthambore National Park is closely managed by the Indian Authorities and recently significant changes have been made to the process of booking game drives in the park. The number of vehicles permitted to enter the park at any one time has been severely reduced and all game drives must now be booked and paid for well in advance. In order to secure a booking we must provide full passport details and full payment for the safari at the time of booking. Game drives are non-refundable. Once a game drive has been booked no changes are permitted. In order to proceed with bookings we require the following: Full passport details - if you are currently renewing your passport then you will need to take both passports with you on all game drives. We cannot guarantee the operation of any game drives until the necessary permits have been purchased. We aim to purchase the permits as soon as they are put on sale, whilst this is usually at 90 days before the date of the game drive on going changes to the booking system means that we cannot guarantee this. We aim to book all of our game drives in shared jeeps, with a maximum of 6 passengers per jeep with a driver and naturalist guide. Park regulations are in place to keep the number of vehicles in the park at any time to a minimum and as a result of this on occasion we will be sharing jeeps with non-Explore passengers. We recommend you book as early as possible in order to have the best chance of securing a space on a game drive. We will purchase seats for all passengers as soon as permits become available, usually 3 months prior, after this point it is not always possible to secure additional spaces.
