    2. Twin-Sharing: Where you are paired up with another member of the group and share the room with them

    No, this tour is for everyone interested in exploring the beauty of our natural world. Take back experiences and memories of a lifetime, make new friends who share a similar interest, and most importantly connect with nature.

    You can arrive without a camera, and just take back memories and experiences.

    THIS TOUR IS FOR YOU

    All Central Indian National Parks are located in a very remote region of India with the nearest hospitals being 4 hours away.


    Important Notes:

    • Please carry your personal medications.
    • Expecting mothers, patients with heart conditions, and any other health ailment that require constant medical attentions are advised not to travel.

    Please ensure that you are carrying a Government issued photo ID with you at all times during your travel.

    For foreign nationals, a valid passport and visa is required for travel to India and entry into the National Park

    If you are allergic to any food items, kindly inform at the time of check-in. A delectable spread of vegetarian and non-vegetarian food is served at all the lodges. Breakfast is the combination of variety and choices from the varied cuisine and is usually served in the park, during the safari itself.

     

     

    All lodges have basic internet connection. The offices in the lodges have an extra computer which can be used free of cost for emailing. Internet may not be reliable at all times as breakdowns take time to fix as we are remotely located.

    If you are simply coming to enjoy the beauty of the national park and learn more about wildlife from Suyash, then you don’t need to bring any equipment with you.

    If you are coming on this trip to learn photography then you are strongly recommended to bring your own camera. We suggest brining a combination lenses, such as a zoom lens as well as a wide-angle lens. Super telephoto lenses are also excellent. If you would like to rent any equipment, please contact us in advance.

    Smartphones are also very handy these days and your Ameliya Guide/ Photography Mentor can train you on the best way to use them.
