FAQ:-
Can I really refine the individual trips according to my wishes?
Of course – you decide the travel period, the itinerary, the accommodations and the activities you want to do on site. We work out the entire trip according to your wishes so that nothing stands in the way of your dream vacation.
Which vaccinations do I need for India?
No special vaccinations are required when entering from Europe. A yellow fever vaccination is required when entering from yellow fever endemic areas. The Foreign Office recommends vaccinations against hepatitis A, tetanus and diphtheria. If you are staying for a long time, you should also consider vaccination against hepatitis B, typhoid and rabies. Please contact your doctor or a tropical medicine specialist about this.
What currency do you use to pay in India?
The national currency is the Indian rupee, which is further divided into 100 paise. You don’t get Indian rupees abroad and you have to change the money in India yourself. Euros and US dollars can be exchanged relatively easily in banks, hotels and travel agencies. Cash can also be withdrawn from a credit card and sometimes paid with it.
What are the entry requirements for India? Do you need a visa?
When entering India, you will need a passport that is valid for at least six months beyond the date of your trip and a visa. The visa can be applied for either through the responsible visa authority or as an e-visa via the Internet. An e-Visa entitles you to stay in India for 60 days, the regular visa for 6 months. Please apply for the visa in good time before your trip.
Can I travel through India by rental car?
Traveling through India by rental car is not recommended. In any case, you cannot book a rental car trip through India with travel-to-nature. What we book are rental car trips with an Indian chauffeur. Organized transfers make sense as they are not very expensive. There are no shuttle transfers like in Costa Rica, for example. The public bus system is very good, punctual and has a dense network.
Do I need an adapter for my electronic devices on my trip to India?
In India, the normal voltage is between 230 and 240 volts AC or 50 Hz. For India you need a travel adapter. Type C, D and M plugs are used in the country. Type C is compatible with English or European sockets – but the coverage is not 100%. If you want to be on the safe side, get a travel adapter in advance. You can get an international adapter from an electronics store.
What clothes should I take with me on a trip to India?
In India, it is appropriate to wear conservative clothing, especially in religious sites and conservative areas. For women, it is recommended to wear floor-length dresses or skirts that cover the shoulders and knees. Men should also choose covering clothing and avoid wearing tank tops and shorts. In the warmer regions of India, breathable and lightweight clothing is recommended. It is also advisable to remove shoes before entering religious sites. If you are traveling in the winter months, you may also want to bring some warmer clothes, especially if you are traveling in the northern parts of India.
How does travel-to-nature combine nature conservation, species protection and tourism? Is that possible?
We believe that without tourism, many environmental protection projects, national parks and animal protection initiatives would no longer exist and biodiversity would be at far greater risk than is already the case. That’s why, among other things, we decided to become a member of “Biodiversity” in Good Company” and thereby commit ourselves to integrating the protection of biodiversity into our sustainability strategy and operational management. We also offer every passenger the opportunity to offset the CO² emitted by the long-haul flight with atmospheric. According to Rainer Stoll, founder and managing director of travel-to-nature, sustainable tourism – if pursued consistently – can help preserve species and support social initiatives.
