“India on licensed guides and heritage stays”
Licensed guides in every city and heritage properties where they exist. Named after the ledgers Rajasthani havelis kept, which is where several of the stays came from.
Sightings were thin on our dates, which is luck, but the drives felt rushed. Crew were professional without being stiff about it.
Thanks for writing this up. We've passed your note to the team.
Excellent sightings and the guides clearly knew the area.
Early starts, but that's where the wildlife is. Well run. Lodges along the way were simple and comfortable enough after a long day. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. No hesitation recommending them.

Gujarat was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Recommended.

Thank you for travelling with us — glad the route worked out.
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.
