Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about safari bookings, park seasons, zones, costs and how GTI Travels helps you plan the perfect wildlife holiday.

How do I book a safari or tour package with GTI Travels?

Choose your park/package page, select travel dates on the calendar, share guest details and send an enquiry — or call us. Our team confirms safari permits, resort stay and a clear quote within a short time.

Do I need to book safaris in advance?

Yes. Core-zone jeep/canter permits sell out early in peak season. Advance booking (especially for weekends and holidays) is strongly recommended for Corbett, Gir, Ranthambore, Tadoba, Bandhavgarh and Kaziranga.

What details are required for safari booking?

Full name, age/gender of each guest, travel date, preferred safari time (morning/evening), nationality and a valid photo ID number (Aadhaar / Passport / Driving Licence as applicable).

Can I customise a package?

Absolutely. We can add extra safaris, nights, hotel category upgrades, airport transfers or combine multiple parks into one itinerary.

What is your payment & cancellation policy?

Payment schedules and refund rules depend on safari permit timelines and hotel policies. See our Payment and Cancellation pages, or ask your travel coordinator for a written confirmation.

What is the best time to visit Bandhavgarh?

The park is typically open from mid-October to June. November to March is most comfortable; April–June often offers better tiger sighting chances near waterholes.

Which is the best safari zone?

Bandhavgarh is divided into zones such as Tala, Magadhi and Khitauli. Tala is the most popular for tiger sightings, subject to permit availability.

How many tigers are in Bandhavgarh?

The reserve is known for a healthy tiger density (often cited around 60–70). Sightings depend on luck, guide expertise, zone and season.

How many days are enough?

A 3–5 day trip with multiple jeep safaris gives the best chance of tiger sightings and time for nearby attractions like Bandhavgarh Fort and Shesh-Saiya.

How can I reach Bandhavgarh?

Nearest airports: Jabalpur (~160 km) and Khajuraho (~225 km). Nearest railheads: Umaria (~22 km) and Katni (~100 km). Cabs are easily available from major Madhya Pradesh cities.

Can I see tigers in Tadoba?

Tadoba is among India’s most active tiger landscapes. Sightings are never guaranteed, but odds are strong with multiple jeep/canter safaris across good zones and seasons.

What is the best time to visit Tadoba?

Safari season generally runs October to June. March–June is preferred for tiger sightings; winter months are pleasant for longer stays and photography.

How do I book jeep/canter safari?

Share guest names, ages, gender and travel dates. We arrange permits for core/buffer zones. Last-minute extras are sometimes possible but advance booking is safest.

What are safari timings?

Morning and evening slots vary by season (often around 6:00–11:00 and 14:30–18:30). Exact gate timings are confirmed with your booking voucher.

Is Tadoba good for families?

Yes. Comfortable resorts, jeep safaris and rich wildlife make Tadoba a favourite for families and first-time safari travellers.

Which parks does GTI Travels cover?

Jim Corbett, Gir, Ranthambore, Kaziranga, Tadoba and Bandhavgarh — with safari booking, resorts and curated tour packages for each.

Gir vs Ranthambore — what is the difference?

Gir is famous for Asiatic lions; Ranthambore for tigers amid fort landscapes. Tell us your dates and interests and we will recommend the best fit.

Are park closures common?

Most parks close during monsoon (roughly July–mid October) for core zones. Buffer / tourism zone rules differ by park — we confirm availability before you pay.

Do you arrange hotels near the park?

Yes — budget to luxury jungle lodges and resorts near each park, often bundled with safari permits in one package price.
