Tips:
Being a responsible nature lover is our way of showing reverence to Mother Earth, a few tips for you to remember -

• Make sure to visit the orientation centre first before you start exploring the campsite as that would give a good picture of what you are about to experience during your stay.
• Most of these Eco Campsites use electricity which is generated by using solar energy, hence please use it responsibly.
• No smoking whatsoever (cigarette butts cause many forest fires.)
• No flash or intrusive photography (for example, don’t pluck leaves to clear a better view; reposition the camera instead.)
• Do not carry any music system or sound making device along with you and remember to keep them switched off if you are driving around.
• Picking plants or insects is prohibited in any area; do not remove anything from the parks or sanctuaries.
• Do not indulge in any quick or sudden movements to scare off wildlife.
• Do not try going too close to the animals.
• No pets should accompany you.
• No littering. Trash is only to be disposed off in proper receptacles.
• No hunting devices or other weapons should be carried, as well as used.
