IMPORTANT NOTES
= YOLO requires a copy of your scanned passport bio page at time of booking to complete bookings for
Ranthambhore National Park visit.
= Make sure your luggage is light and compact enough to be able to carry it up and down multiple flights of
stairs (ie. in train stations, hotels without elevators).
= There are a number of long travel days on this trip. Some journeys take between six to eight hours, but
are a great opportunity to get to know locals, fellow travellers and the diverse scenery.
= It's important to prepare for hot sticky temperatures during the day and cooler climates in the evening,
particularly in the desert. Layers are the one of the best ways to tackle this disparity in weather.
= We visit a number of temples on this trip, which requires a certain level of modesty. Please bring clothes
that cover the arms and pants/skirts that go past the knees. A light scarf is also a good idea for covering
shoulders and arms when it's hot.
= Visas are the responsibility of the individual traveller. Entry requirements can change at any time, so it's
important that you check for the latest information. Please visit the relevant consular website of the
country or countries you're visiting for detailed and up-to-date visa information specific to your
nationality. Visas can take several weeks to process, so familiarise yourself with any requirements as soon
as you have booked your trip to allow for processing time and costs.
= We recommend 270 € for meals not included during the trip.
= This is a shared tour. That means that tour operators from all over the world book their guests onto this
tour. So you will be travelling in an international group.
