Days 4 – 5
In Bandhavgarh

Breakfast, lunch and dinner at the lodge. Morning and evening jeep safari in the National Park. Bandhavgarh is the birthplace of the last known wild white tiger – the father of all specimens in captivity today.

Today Bandhavgarh scores with its high tiger density – in hardly any other park are the chances as good to encounter a striped big cat. Don't miss the Vishnu statue near the temple hill, to which a pilgrim procession leads twice a year. This enchanted place surrounded by tropical vegetation will captivate you.

Remark:

Bandhavgarh is closed on Wednesday afternoons. You can visit a local tribal village and take an ornithological tour in the surrounding area instead.

Der weisse Marmor wurde mithilfe von Elefanten über eine Distanz von mehr als 200 km transportiert.

Individual travel to Delhi
Visa: all foreign visitors need a valid visa for India: the easiest way is to apply for an e-Tourist-Visa directly online: indianvisaonline.gov.in/evisa. The e-Visa can be applied for up to 120 days in advance and is valid from the day of entry. For a regular visa you must send your passport to an Indian representation in your home country. More information can be found on the website of the Indian representations in the US indianembassyusa.gov.in, in Australia cgisydney.gov.in, in the UK hcilondon.gov.in and in Switzerland indembassybern.gov.in. The passport should in any case be valid for 6 months beyond the validity period of your visa.
Tips for drivers and guides: Tips are expected when you are satisfied – for exceptional services you may also exceed our recommendations. Calculate with 400-600 INR per guide and 300-500 for the driver per day or half of it for half a day or a single safari.
Tips in hotels/lodges: we recommend not to tip individual staff members such as the concierge as this would be unfair towards others. Instead, at the end of your stay, put something in the most common tip box – the tip will then be evenly distributed among the staff. We recommend about 5 US $ or 350 INR per person and day.
Possible fees for photo and video cameras in the national parks and at monuments
Elephant safari in Kanha and Bandhavgarh à INR 2000 per person for 30 minutes. Subject to availability, cannot be booked in advance.
Personal expenses such as smoking, soft drinks, alcohol, laundry and telephone calls.
Travel Insurance
Anything not mentioned in the inclusions.

Remarks

Check-in and check-out are always at 12.00 noon.
If the intended hotel or normal room category is sold out, alternative accommodations will be suggested.
Single room surcharges or larger groups on request.
Our jeep safaris are on an exclusive basis, which means you do not share your jeep with any other travelers.
Ideally you should travel in groups of two or four, as the jeeps can accommodate a maximum of 4 tourists (5 are possible, but not very comfortable).
The allocation of the park zone in which the individual safaris take place depends on the forestry authority and can only be influenced to a limited extent, depending on the park.
Entrance costs to national parks or state taxes may change at any time. Such changes will be communicated to you in good time.
Safari permits must be applied in most parks 120 days prior to departure. It is therefore often not possible to book at short notice or to change your name less than 120 days before the start of your trip.
The above travel times from one location to another are based on normal road conditions and may vary. Every break for food, tea, toilets etc. prolongs the travel times.
Travel safety: please refer to the recommendations of the US Department of State Travel Advisory, the Smart Traveller of the Australian Government or the UK Government foreign travel advice respectively for safety and security information on the areas you want to visit.
Vaccinations: please check the current recommendations of your country such as cdc.gov/travel for the US, myvaccination.com.au/travel-vaccinations for Australia or safetravel.ch for Switzerland. In general, standard vaccinations and hepatitis A are recommended. Malaria proyphylaxis or the carrying of standby emergency treatment as well as good mosquito protection and long-sleeved outdoor clothing are recommended at dusk.
