Good to know

Lambasingi stay

Rooms in Lambasingi are limited, so the night is booked ahead, especially in December and January

Cold mornings

Dawn in Lambasingi is the coldest part of the day in winter, so pack a warm layer

Ghat roads

Both hill drives are winding and take about 3 hours, so sit-up-front seats and snacks help

Borra Caves

The caves on Day 4 are open 10:00 to 17:00, so plan an afternoon or evening flight
