At every stage of our holiday we felt that we were treated with care and we felt reassured that each stage would run smoothly. The accommodation was super and it was reassuring to know that environmental and social considerations were paramount. The guides were knowledgeable and hospitable. Shankar was particularly keen to listen and respond to our requests, as well as taking care to offer appropriate opportunities to view wildlife. The wildlife and habitats were treated respectfully (but slightly shocking initially to see a large number of vehicles gathering to view tigers in Kanha). The holiday was everything we had hoped for and despite the inevitable lengthy travelling, we still cannot believe how privileged we are to have been part of this environment. We are keen to continue supporting the conservation efforts.

Shankar was a superb guide and was keen to provide a wealth of information. He was also interested in protecting the environment from the effects of littering (we were surprised by the amount of litter in the Chitwan Park considering its status). Raj was clearly devoted to conserving the population of tigers and has a realistic vision for long-term conservation, including gaining the support of local people.

It would be good to know that a fair percentage of the cost of the trip was ploughed back into the conservation and social efforts.
