Cycle Rajasthan (13 days)
Discover the back and beyond of Rajasthan. In this trip, we cycle across the Central Rajasthan covering many small and big villages. This tour will take us to some of the interesting remote villages where we get a close personal interaction with the villagers and tribals. Sights of men with twirled moustaches wearing colourful turbans, taking their cattle and sheep for grazing; and women wearing beautiful attire, getting water from the local hand pump are pretty common in these villages. During this tour, we stay at battle forts like Ras Fort and Tordi Garh; Palaces like Phool Mahal Palace; and Farm houses like Rawla Bagh, where the owners personally help us explore their villages. In the latter part of the trip we visit Jaipur and Agra. In Agra, we also undertake a visit to the DAY BY DAY ITINERARY

Train and Road Travel in India

Travel in India is not always easy and we find that a good dose of patience certainly comes in handy! Trains can be often late and unexpected delays do occur. Generally overnight train travel is in air-conditioned sleeper class with sheets, a pillow and a blanket provided, but we recommend you bring along a sleeping bag liner for extra comfort and hygiene. Toilet facilities on Indian trains are also quite basic. Travelling on the roads in India is also quite an experience. Road rules are not always followed and some of the traffic in the larger cities has to be experienced to be believed. Particular care should be taken when crossing roads.
Tipping and Tipping Kitty
Although the culture of tipping may not be part of your own culture, it is nonetheless part of the culture in this
area of the world and it is often the way some people supplement their earnings. Tipping has also become an accepted part of the tourism culture in the region. On our trips your tour leader can advise you on this matter; however, as a guideline we would recommend a tip of 5-10% in restaurants and US$1 to US$2 per person, per day for a local guide. The bellboys at hotels will appreciate a small tip for carrying your bags. Taxi and rickshaw drivers do not expect a tip. If you are unhappy with a service, of course, you are under no obligation to leave a tip. However, if the service has been satisfactory, a tip is always appreciated.with a smile! To protect you from the sometimes seemingly endless soliciting of tips, we suggest you discuss with your tour leader about setting up a tipping kitty whereby everybody contributes an equal amount (this amount can vary from trip to trip, but a good approximate is US$3 per person per day). Your tour leader can then distributes tips along the way (except restaurant tips) to local guides and hotel porters, etc. and keeps a record of all moneys spent. Please note that this
kitty is not designed to provide a tip for your tour leader.
Tipping Your Tour Leader
It is also customary to tip your tour leader at the end of the trip, if you are happy with his/her service. A minimum
tip of US$3 per day from each member of the group is the standard amount expected.

Passport
Well before travelling, please ensure that you have a current passport, with an accurate photo, that is valid for at
least six months after your scheduled return home. Also check that your airline tickets are in exactly the same
name as your passport. Some countries may require that you have a return air ticket, or have sufficient funds to
purchase such a ticket.
Insurance
On all our holidays you must have comprehensive travel insurance which we recommend you take at the time of
paying your deposit. We can help recommend a suitable policy for your tour or you may choose to take other
cover. Participants without adequate insurance cover will be asked to arrange cover immediately before
commencing their holiday - this can be very difficult and expensive to arrange locally. In particular, your policy must cover you for medical expenses, lost luggage and cancellations fees. For trekking trips you must also be covered for evacuation by helicopter and repatriation. In the event of emergency evacuation, you are liable to the helicopter operating company and to us for both the helicopter operating company’s direct costs - which can amount to thousands of U.S. dollars - and also to us for an additional amount of 10 per cent, to cover our costs for organising the evacuation. Passengers requiring emergency evacuation will be billed for the cost and required to pay prior to departing India or the relevant point of exit. We will supply all necessary supporting documentation to enable you to make an insurance claim but the primary obligation for payment rests with the passenger. IMPORTANT NOTE - Those on some “Challenging or “Mountaineering” expeditions should be aware that standard travel insurance policies do not cover general mountaineering requiring the use of ropes, etc. You will need to take out additional higher risk cover for this. Please consult us or your travel agent for further details. If you are covered by a policy arranged through your credit card company you will be asked to provide evidence of this cover, as well as a 24-hour emergency contact number. Many credit card companies do not provide an insurance policy number. In this instance, the tour leader will need to record your credit card number, as this is required to activate any request for emergency assistance. You should also bring along the travel insurance information booklet provided by your credit card company. It is your responsibility to ensure that you meet the requirements set out by your credit card company in order to be effectively covered and that the cover offered is of a suitable standard.
Visas
Australians, Americans, British, Canadians currently require a visa for India. For all other nationalities please
reconfirm your visa requirements with your travel agent.
You must obtain an Indian visa prior to leaving home: it cannot be obtained on arrival. An Indian tourist visa is
available for six months from the date of issue and you should apply for a multiple entry, as the cost is the same as for single/double entry. We or your travel agent will assist you in the preparation of your visa application if required. It is your responsibility to ensure you have all required visas for your trip. Rules and regulations governing the issuance of visas are constantly changing, and vary for different nationalities and you should check visa requirements with your travel agent or relevant consular authority well before travel.
Vaccinations
Vaccinations may be required for this trip. Please consult your doctor or a travel health specialist. The choice of
vaccinations can depend on a range of issues including the specific destination, the duration of the trip, your
personal health and of course what vaccines you have had before.
Compulsory vaccines: These days the only compulsory vaccine is for yellow fever, which is required for many countries in Africa and South America. It should be done at least 10 days before travel and must be recorded in an official certificate book. Please note that very often you may not need to show this certificate book when entering these countries, but you will need to produce it to immigration/customs on returning to your home country. Routine Background Vaccines: We strongly endorse current public health recommendations that all travellers should be up-to-date with their routine vaccines such as tetanus, diphtheria, measles/mumps/rubella, polio and influenza, and paediatric vaccinations for children. Travel Vaccinations: While the food and water-borne diseases such as hepatitis A and typhoid will apply to most of our travellers, other travel vaccines such as hepatitis B, rabies, meningitis, Japanese encephalitis and cholera may apply to select travellers, especially long-term travel. Travel health experts can advise on what is required and also what is not required! Malaria: There is no vaccination against malaria, which is transmitted by mosquito bites and is a risk in many less-developed tropical areas, particularly in Central, East and West Africa, Melanesia (especially Papua New Guinea) and the Amazon region. In Asia (particularly India) and Central America it may be a problem in rural areas. Protection against mosquito bites is essential and where the risk is considered high, anti-malarial medications are recommended. Anti-malarial medications should be discussed with experts as there are different medications available and not all medications suit all people or all destinations. We prefer that trekkers to altitude try to avoid the use of mefloquine (Lariam) if possible. For travellers from Australia and New Zealand, we strongly recommend Travel Doctor-TMVC clinics to obtain the most up-to-date advice on health risks and vaccinations (see www.traveldoctor.com.au for locations and detailed vaccine information or phone 1300 658 844 for an appointment in Australia). Some vaccines require more than one dose, so arrange for your visit at least 4-6 weeks before you travel. Travellers living outside Australia and New Zealand will need to consult a similar organisation in their own country (please ask your travel agent for recommendations), but can still access the following link for information: www.traveldoctor.com.au/travelreport.asp?UnqID=0.4630191&PageID=10&nav=personal-traveller
