“The same routes by train and guesthouse”
Overnight trains, guesthouses and no private cars. Slower and a fraction of the price, and the trains are half the point.
Sightings were thin on our dates, which is luck, but the drives felt rushed.
Thank you for travelling with us — glad the route worked out.
Early starts, but that's where the wildlife is. Well run. No hesitation recommending them.
Excellent sightings and the guides clearly knew the area.
Early starts, but that's where the wildlife is. Well run. Tents were warmer than expected and the camp was set up before we arrived.
Excellent sightings and the guides clearly knew the area. Sleeping under canvas at that height is cold work and the kit was up to it. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Would book with them again.
Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.

Gujarat was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. The campsites were well chosen — sheltered, and close enough to water. Worth every rupee.
Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you on another trip.

The Rann floods in the monsoon and stays wet into October; by March it is over 35 °C on an unshaded salt flat. The white crust and the tolerable weather coincide for about four months.
