Worth knowing before you commit
- Safari zones are allotted by the forest department's online lottery. Nobody can guarantee a zone — treat any such promise as a warning sign.
- The park is closed on some Wednesdays and for the monsoon (roughly July–September).
- Morning safaris are colder than people expect from November to February. Bring a cap and gloves.
- Keoladeo is best birded on a cycle-rickshaw with a licensed naturalist — walking it misses most of it.
Common questions
Will we see a tiger?
Over four safaris in the productive zones, most groups do. Nobody honest will promise it. If a guarantee is what you need, no park in India can give you one.
Can we choose our zone?
You can request. Zones are allotted by the forest department's online system, not by the lodge or by us, and requests are not always granted.

Golden Triangle, Unhurried
The standard circuit, run at a pace that doesn't reduce the Taj to a 40-minute photo stop.
Kerala for Two
Tea hills, a spice plantation, and a private houseboat — with the drives arranged so you aren't in the car at sunset.
Andaman, Just the Two of You
Radhanagar at sunset, a reef dive if you want one, and ferries booked in advance so you aren't queuing at the jetty.
