• India is a closed currency, which means you cannot buy rupees before you travel.
• It is recommended you bring £200 – £300 cash with you and change £25 on arrival in India at the airport and check the exchange rate on date of travel so you know what is a good rate. Generally airports do not give the best rates, it is better to change the majority of your cash at the hotels in Udaipur, Ranakpur, Narlai or Jodhpur.
• VISA is accepted at most shops and hotels,  but not for exchanging money, only for buying or paying for goods or services.

• It is advisable to keep baggage to a minimum as it travels with you each day. On the ride your ‘main bag’ goes in the lorry and you will be reunited with it every evening – smaller ‘day bags’ go in the follow jeep and will be available to access during lunch.

• Cover your shoulders please, especially in the rural areas and be aware of low cut tops (wear a scarf if necessary).
• Ladies please ask if you want to change into shorts at lunchtime during the ride, as you may be near a farmers house or temple, where it would be frowned upon locally to show your legs.

• All hotels have free wifi (sometimes limited to the reception area) and network coverage is generally good in India,though there are some black holes during the ride.

• Tipping is the custom in India.
• In hotels – it is custom to tip the room boys 50 rupees per bag.
• On the ride – It is suggested a tip at the end of the ride, of 10,000 INR from each guest  (ie £10 for each day of your holiday) – but ONLY if you have enjoyed it!
• Please tip all together at the horse goodbye ceremony upon reaching Narlai. All tips should be given to the ride leader who will share this among the grooms, lunch staff and stable staff. This way those behind the scenes are counted in, as without them this trip would not function.
