WILDLIFE & NATURAL HISTORY TOURS
General Wildlife Guidelines

Participants should be aware of unlikely, but potential risks involved during wildlife tours and general travel. We require that all tour participants sign a disclaimer that acknowledges the dangers associated during our conducted tours and relieves us of any liabilities arising out of the same.

Etiquette

- to keep our foot prints to the bare minimum

  • Do follow official guidelines while visiting protected areas. We will give you a heads up on this before your tour.

  • Blend in. Wear earthy colors (browns, greens and generally dark shades). Avoid strong perfumes and other strong smelling embellishments.

  • Stay as silent as possible whilst inside the natural areas. Lets make it as difficult as possible for the wildlife to spot us!

  • Travel light, with as few things to throw away, as possible. Please don't throw anything in the natural areas. If you do have to throw anything, please do so in designated areas in your accommodation. Avoid plastics.

  • Loud music and noisy parties are generally not appreciated, even back in your accommodation.

  • Alcohol and cigarettes are not permitted inside protected areas throughout India

  • Alcohol and cigarettes are permitted only in designated resorts/accommodation situated outside the parks / sanctuaries.

  • Do follow your tour guides requests while inside the parks. This will often prevent dangerous encounters with wild animals.
