Nature of the Eclipse
  • Perfect viewing conditions of the eclipse can not be guaranteed as July marks the official start of India’s wet season. Meteorologists suggest that there is a near 25% chance of cloudless, clear skies though there is a greater chance of cloud cover to some degree. On the days prior to the event all efforts will be made to give you with the most up to date meteorology information, based upon this and if possible we may slightly alter the location of our eclipse site for a more favourable viewing platform.

Not included
  • International flights, visa and additional entrance fees. For entrance budget approx: US$40
  • Tipping kitty - this is an entirely personal gesture
  • Laundry, drinks, items of a personal nature
