For most activities, an easy level of exertion is required. Participants should be in good general health, able to walk one to two miles over uneven terrain in Rajasthani cities.

Indian cuisine is just one of the special experiences that our travelers will enjoy. Some Indian dishes can be rather spicy, but this can be avoided if mentioned in advance. Our travelers do not have to worry about stomach illness on our trips because we are staying in lovely hotels where food is washed and prepared in the highest of standards.

Summer in Rajasthan starts in April when we are there and temperatures can reach as high as 36ºC (96ºF) during the middle of the day. We will avoid the hot time of day when we are on game drives as the tigers are usually sleeping somewhere in the shade. Despite occasional delays that can occur and sometimes bumpy driving conditions, our expeditions to India receive rave reviews from our travelers. The only requirement is a sense of humor, flexibility and an adventurous spirit.
