PLANNING INFORMATION
Tour Season October to June Best time to visit Feb to June
Age Group No age restriction. Good for visitors ranging from 05 to 70 years age, as per travel fitness. Sometimes senior citizen guests find it hectic to do back to back jungle safaris. Thus if required, we can remove safaris on Day of taxi transfers (Day 04-06).

When to book Book 140 Days in advance. It is a very important step that a guest can take for the success of its own trip. Advance booking is highly recommended when you have any wildlife safari destination in your tour plan. Similarly, in city areas, due to marriage or corporate conferences, many times popular hotels get sold out in advance due to which tour quality get compromised.
