Great Himalayan National Park

Reviewed By 361aanchalk

went to GHNP for the trek with my two elder siblings and it was a time of our lifetime. It was in early october of 2019 when we went there and probably the best time to visit the place.We went with a local guide named Tek Singh. He achieves the impossible alongwith his team, what you get is a genuinely authentic GHNP experience without having to compromise at all on comfort or safety. GHNP is also rich in wildlife, incredible scenery & Tek Singh's amazing staff made all the way a better experience for us. I am glad to have found out about this place and would love to go again with Tek Singh and his team. You can contact the guide Tek Singh on his contact number +918318764151

The tour starts from Khulna early in the morning (around 06:00). Cost 11.000 Tk for Bangladeshi people and 15.000 Tk for foreigners. You can make the payment either in Dhaka or Khulna. Food and drinking water are provided. There was plenty of food, served very often and everything was really tasty. There are sinks, toilets and showers in the boat. We did not used the showers, but the toilets and sinks were very clean. The cabin size was reasonable for 2 people and the beds were very comfortable. You can charge your phones, cameras, tablets, etc. during a few hours in the evening. The program includes several activities, which are adjusted to the weather conditions, participants, etc. We did several walks in the jungle and trips in small boats along the canals, in order to try to spot wildlife. We saw crocodiles, monkeys, deers, wildboars and many types of birds. We did not see any tiger, but found many fresh footprints. We really enjoyed the boat trip. It was very relaxing and the landscape is amazing (flora, fishing boats, small houses, etc.). The guide and his crew were very skilled, friendly and helpful and did a great job organizing the whole trip (activities, meals, cleaning, cruising, etc.).

Tadoba Andhari National Park

Reviewed By Sunshine767199

We all have a bucket list of things we'd like to do and see in our lives. Sometimes, we are lucky enough to accomplish some of them. For years, I thought of visiting Incredible India, especially going on a safari, in an open jeep and seeing tigers and leopards in the wild. After 30 years, I can now check this amazing experience off my bucket list. After some research,I found two of the best reserves to see these amazing wild cats: Rathambore and Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve. If you have alot of time and you're willing to go on 8-10 safaris then Rathambore might be best for you to see tigers. Just realize that you are randomly placed in only one zone to visit. if you don't get the right zone, your chances of seeing tigers are cut down to 20% With Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve and a limited amount of time available to you,the ratio of your seeing these magnificent feline increases to 80% because you are free to roam rather than be locked into a specific zone.Also ,there are over 100 tigers on this reserve. My wife and I stayed at the Bamboo Forest Safari Lodge which is a mere 10 minutes from a great zone of the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve. The staff at this luxurious lodge were warm, friendly and very accommodating. Akshay and Ramya run the lodge and go above and beyond to help meet your needs. You will feel calm and relaxed as soon as you step foot in this lodge. My wife and I were at this lodge for 3 nights, went on 4 safaris and saw a black panther, a leopard and two tigers.A beautiful tiger walked right by my wife's side of our open jeep. A naturalist from the lodge goes with you and you pick up a guide at the gate of the reserve.They are able to see what our eyes tend to miss. If you decide to visit India and go on safaris for a brief 2 to 3 days, stay at the Bamboo Forest Safari Lodge in Tadoba and let the natural wild world of the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve envelop you and pull you into its magic. You won't be disappointed and you'll love this beautiful, serene, friendly lodge as well. Noel Mouldovan

Reviewed By mirathod - Bangalore District, India

Place is located near vadinar. Nearest city is jamnagar which is around 40-50 kms away. Best time to visit this place is early morning because sea water is very less and you will see most of sea animals like octopus, star fish, jelly fish, crabs etc. Better to hire guide so that they will help you find sea animals. Place is quite peaceful and should be visited with friends and family on weekends.
