Plan your day
A morning start works in either direction; we confirm the time with you. Coming from Bangalore, it's the safari first, then Pykara; the other way round when you're heading to Bangalore. The Theppakadu Elephant Camp's feeding times (8:30 AM and 5:30 PM) don't fit this route, so it isn't included.

Quick questions
Can I change the order or add a place?
Within the tour, yes: change the order, skip a place, or add a café stop along the route. A place outside the route may need a different tour or cost extra, and we'll tell you before your day.
Are entry tickets included?
No. Entry tickets and parking are extra; you pay them at each place.
What if it rains?
Your driver adjusts the order to make the most of the day. Weather changes aren't refunded.
Should we buy the driver a meal?
Never expected, and it isn't part of the price. If you stop to eat, offering your driver a meal is a kind gesture on a long day.
