A few questions come up again and again. Here are straight answers.
Timing and season
Drives run around sunrise and late afternoon. October to June is best for open hills, with winter the most comfortable.
Jeeps and guides
All our drives are in private open jeeps with a driver and a local tracker.
Food and stay
Our restaurant is 100% vegetarian, and the hotel is in Bera village, close to the hills.
Before you arrive
Bring a photo ID, layers, a hat and a bottle for water. Keep the phone charged and download offline maps.
On the day
Be ready at the agreed time, listen to your guide and enjoy the drive. Relax: not every moment is about the leopard.
Common worries
Many first-timers worry about cold, boredom or disappointment. Layers fix the cold. Binoculars, birds and landscape fix boredom. And a relaxed attitude to the leopard makes every drive enjoyable, whatever turns up.
