Accommodation
All accommodation has been vetted either by myself or Ramesh, our Indian guide, and has been chosen for its atmosphere and cleanliness. We stay in palaces, forts, Havelis, private homes or tented accommodation. No rooms are standard but all have their own individual charm. All accommodation is based on twin sharing rooms with en suite facilities. Single Supplement. Single rooms are available but there will be a single supplement charged.
Transport
We travel either by luxury air conditioned coach, train or by Jet Airways internal flights. When out on safari we will travel either by jeep, land rover or elephant.
Passport and Visa Requirements
Your passport must have at least six months running after your return. A separate six month visa is required at a cost of approx. £30.00 forms available from the Indian High Commission or on line.
Language
Hindi is the most widely used language in India but English is commonly used. Ramesh our Indian guide will be with us throughout and he will be able to help if communication becomes difficult.
