BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
Stay in the vehicle
Every part of the safety of a game drive rests on this. An animal reads a jeep as one large object it knows; a person standing beside it is something else entirely. Do not step out for a photograph, not even briefly, not even when it looks calm.
Quiet is the whole technique
Voices carry further than people expect and nothing you want to see will stay for them. Phones on silent, and no calling out to move an animal into a better position.
Never feed anything
An animal that associates vehicles with food stops behaving like a wild animal, and the ones that do usually end up destroyed. It is illegal in Indian national parks and it is the single most damaging thing a visitor can do.
Dull colours, no scent
Greens, browns and greys. Bright clothing and strong perfume both announce you a long way off.
The gate times are not flexible
Indian parks run fixed morning and afternoon slots with hard entry and exit times, a daily cap on vehicles, and no movement inside after dark. Your permit is issued against a specific zone and slot.
No flash, and no drones
Flash photography at close range distresses animals and is banned in most reserves. Drones require written permission that is almost never given.

Ladakh was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Worth every rupee.

Ladakh was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Recommended.

Excellent sightings and the guides clearly knew the area. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. No hesitation recommending them.

Early starts, but that's where the wildlife is. Well run. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones. No hesitation recommending them.

Early starts, but that's where the wildlife is. Well run. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones. Would book with them again.

Excellent sightings and the guides clearly knew the area. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude.

Excellent sightings and the guides clearly knew the area. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. No hesitation recommending them.

Questions people ask

Over two full days in Rumbak in February, roughly even. Longer trips do better. What you will certainly see is blue sheep, red fox, and probably wolves or a lynx. Nobody can promise a leopard and the ones who do are lying.
