Questions about your trip
Pickups, children, what to wear and what happens when the river is high: it's all here. For getting to Bharatpur and choosing the best month, have a look at Visiting the Narayani.
Where do your trips start?
In Bharatpur. We'll pick you up from your hotel there, or from Bharatpur airport. Staying a bit further away? Just ask, and we'll arrange transport.
Do I need a national park permit?
No. Our trips stick to the river and to the villages and forests outside the national park, so there are no park fees to pay.
How long are the trips?
Anything from a three-hour evening ride to a full day, plus one overnight stay at the Amaltari homestay. You'll find the times on each trip page.
Can a trip be private?
Yes. Any of our trips can be just for you. Let us know when you book or enquire, and we'll confirm the price for a private guide and vehicle.
Are the trips suitable for children?
Yes. The walks are on flat ground, and none of the trips are physically demanding. Near the water, children must stay with an adult.
What happens if the river is too high?
In the monsoon, the river can rise very quickly. If part of a trip isn't safe, we'll swap it for something nearby or move your trip to another day. Don't worry, you won't miss out.
What should I wear?
Light clothes in muted colours, closed shoes and a hat. Bring a warm layer from December to February, and cover your shoulders and knees for Devghat.
How do I pay?
You can pay by card online when you book, or wait for our confirmation email with other options, including a 25% deposit by bank transfer.
Can we combine trips?
Of course. A morning at Devghat and an evening ride along the waterfront fit nicely into one day. Ask us, and we'll plan it for you.
Still have a question? Just ask us. We're always happy to help.
