Preferred clothing: - We recommend light cotton tops and trousers/shorts. The best colours to have are khaki, beige and white. Light cotton, long sleeved clothing is recommended for game drives. Please ensure that you pack warm clothing if they are travelling in the winter months as temperatures do drop dramatically at times. A lightweight jacket is recommended for early morning and evening.
Baggage Allowance - The baggage allowance on the aircraft will be one standard piece of hand luggage [max 5kgs] and one piece of standard checked in hold luggage [20kgs]. Soft bags are requested
Health - Many people do not go to India because they fear getting sick. This does not have to happen! Before you go, have the shots your doctor recommends and start taking anti-malarial tablets. Once in India, eat lightly for the first few days, drink plenty of bottled water, and get your sleep.
Food & Drink - Water: Avoid drinking tap water while in India - consumption of bottled water is advisable. Do not forget to check that the cap is securely sealed while buying the bottle and remember to dispose of it properly.
Visas - There is no provision of ‘Visa on Arrival' in India and no fee is charged for immigration facilities at the airports. It is of utmost importance that you thoroughly check your visa requirements before your intended date of travel, as India Safaris & Tours cannot be held responsible should necessary visa requirements not be fulfilled.
Passports
- Foreign national desirous of coming into India are required to possess valid passport and a valid Indian visa.
Changing Money - Delhi and Mumbai International Airport have money exchange counters where you can easily change money. There are money-changing facilities at your hotels. Most of the wildlife resorts across India may not have this facility. It is recommended that you have enough Indian money on you, which you may require for your purchases, tipping, food & tipples and other such expenses.
Equipment
- The voltage supply at most of the hotels across India is usually 220 volts. Most of the plug-in pins in India are different from western made plug-in pins. It makes sense to carry an adaptor and dry cells. Also recommended carrying with you is a torch, padlocks for kitbag, sun cream, small sewing kit & safety pins and spare glasses if you wear them or contact lenses.
Film & Photography
- It can be difficult to get spare films in the national parks / reserves so please ensure you either bring them along or buy them on arrival at the port of entry. It can be difficult to get spare films in smaller towns / cities, so please ensure you buy them on arrival at the port of entry. Photography may also not be permissible at some railway stations, bridges, airports and all military installations. If in doubt, ask. In general, though most people are happy to be photographed but it is advisable to seek permission.
Responsible Tourism - We strongly promote a responsible and careful approach to tourism. We try to minimize the use of plastic, do not encourage you to tip or give any money to any animal keeper or snake charmer or the likes. We also encourage people to know more about the staff of the parks they visit as also about the problems that the animals face regarding conservation.
