I would like to book this trip starting on 12th May however we are arriving on the 11th could you please give me a price for an extra night at the beginning of the trip in Bangalore. We are a bit confused as your trip states the accommodation is at good 3 star hotels based on twin / double sharing basis. Yet when booking the holiday the price changes and indicates that the trip is based a triple room, increasing the trip by $400.00 per person. Could you please advise regarding this.

Please note there is 3 option for booking which is as per the traveller requirements: 1 - Is for Solo traveller 2 - Is for 2 Person Traveler together\u00a0 3 - is for 3 Person travelling with their friends or other family member so they can use the triple sharing option.

What activities are provided at Periyar and what activities are optional and what is the cost?

Boating ride at Lake Periyar - 2 Hrs (Included in your tour) Optional Activities Bamboo Rafting - Full Day Trekking & Rafting Bamboo Rafting - Half Day Trekking & Rafting Periyar Tiger Trail - 2 Nights - Camping & Trekking Program Border Hiking - Thondiyar - Full Day Hard Trekking Border Hiking - Brandipara - Full Day Hard Trekking Jungle Scout - Forest Check Post - Night Trek Jungle Scout - Bamboo Grove - Night Trek Gavi safari from Thekkady - wildlife by bus. Bird Song Trail - Discover the Melodies of Nature with the Birdsong Trail Jungle Safari to Vallakkadavu

Could I please ask which hotels we would be staying in Bangalore and Cochin as we are thinking we may wish to stay an extra night in each. If possible could we also ask the cost of these extra nights.

During the trip the hotels will be 3 Star Deluxe hotels and if your would like to make it 4 Star, 5 Star and 5 Star luxury we can do this. Also as per your email about the extra night in Bangalore and Cochin. We can let you like its depends on which hotel option you are looking for Stay.

As a widower what is the cost of sigle supplement

I think you sent me the wrong information the tour is with Panda Experiences and costs £970.00 per person. It is not the tour run by uncle Sam holidays which costs £1188. per person. I would expect the overall cost to be in the region of £1500.00 as a £600.00 single supplement is reasonable. I look forward to your reply

  Traveler•Written November 2024
  My husband and I really enjoy safaris and seeing lots of animals in their natural habitat. We want to maximize our safari experiences if we take this tour. I would appreciate a bit more information as far as the optional activities and the cost of each. How does a person take the 2 night Tiger trail and still be part of the group? What is the cost and what does it include? Is it possible to do an elephant safari? What is involved in the jungle safari between Vallakkadavu and Gavi? How does it work with choosing an optional activity and still being part of the tour?

  I think you sent me the wrong information the tour is with Panda Experiences and costs £970.00 per person. It is not the tour run by uncle Sam holidays which costs £1188. per person.
  
  I would expect the overall cost to be in the region of £1500.00 as a £600.00 single supplement is reasonable.

  Why is this £1150.00 when the advertised price for when i want to travel £958.00. In fact all the dates in March are £957.00.
  
  The current single supplement is about 80% of the price you sent me. I am trying to arrange a trip to Southern India then on to Shri Lanka. I have the Shri Lanka part sorted out and am trying to resolve this part which seems quite difficult at the monment.
