Transport
Private Coach: To travel between cities in India by road we privately chartered air-conditioned coaches. There is a NO SMOKING policy on all our tour buses – however there are tea and toilet breaks every couple of hours or so. The only exception to this rule is the driver. Distances are not always great, but generally road conditions are not good and progress can be slow. We have noted approximate driving times in the itinerary.
Overnight Train: The Indian Railway system is one of the most extensive in the world. Considering the volume of passengers it is reasonably efficient, however delays do occur, and they can be lengthy. Our itineraries have been designed with this in mind, and it is unlikely that any delays will have a major impact on the sightseeing content of your tour. We travel in air-conditioned sleeper carriages with either two or three level of berths. They are arranged in door less sections each of four or six berths. Broad-gauge, three-tier sleeping carriages also have a row of two-tier (upper and lower) berths along one side. A conductor ensures that nobody without a reservation gets into the carriage. Each carriage has two "squat" style toilets on either end. Bedding is available but it cannot always be guaranteed so we suggest that you bring a sleeping sheet. Meals are not included during overnight train journeys, but food is available, and your tour leader will advise you during the tour
Meals:
13 Breakfast and 2 Dinners are included in your tour price. Please allow at least US$ 20 - 25 per day ,for additional meals.
Pre and post accommodation
You may wish to extend your holiday by booking some pre or post tour accommodation - ask Gecko's or your travel agent for details and prices when you book your trip.

Discover (Extra Comfort , More Inclusions)
Discover Tours are suited to travellers who think that authentic experience doesn't have to mean sacrificing on comfort. These trips are designed for people who are in good health and enjoy the outdoors. Although they may contain an active element, like dart around colorful local markets, explore the heritage sites and hike through the jungle to discover rare flora and fauna ,they do not require a high level of fitness or any previous experience. We stay in comfortable accommodation and travel by mainly trains and private vehicle .

Trip grade
Easy : We stay in comfortable hotels and maily travel by harter coach or soft sleeper class
Fitness: No particular level of fitness is required for this holiday. You need only to be in good health. The camel trek in western Rajasthan does not require any great physical exertion; however the trotting momentum of the camels can cause some discomfort after a few hours!
Single travellers
Most of our travellers are single and like the thought of travelling with a few like-minded souls. As part of "Escape Voyages" core philosophy, we do not charge a single supplement. You'll probably be sharing your accommodation with a travelling companion of the same gender, but even if you do get your own room, you won't be charged extra, unless the tour has a minimum of one person. Because many of our travellers come on their own, your tour will probably have a strong social element and you'll almost certainly come home with some great new friends.
