Dear Sharad
We are now back in the UK and would like to send our sincere thanks to you and
your team for helping us have a marvellous holiday. We were very impressed by
the thoroughness of our intinerary, the attention to detail was excellent -
nothing was left to chance. Not only were we were looked after every step of
the way, last minute changes we requested during our trip were accommodated
with speed and efficiency - your service couldn't be bettered. We also appreciated
the way that you kept in contact with us during our time in India - a nice personal
touch which made us feel more like welcome visitors and not just clients. Our
tiger sightings were fantastic (Bandhavgarh thoroughly recommended) and we feel
privileged to have seen these wonderful creatures in their natural habitat.
We read your tribute to Challenger - he was truly a magnificent animal and were
glad we had the opportunity to see him but sorry that it was in such sad circumstances.
We have tried to send this email with photos of Challenger attached but it has
been returned by your mailbox as 'over quota'. We have also tried to send some
more photos which you may like to use on your site and although we've not had
them returned, we are not sure if you have received them or not, perhaps you
can let us know. We will be happy to send photos again if you would like them.
Thank you again for all your help and also for the wildlife book, it's a wonderful
souvenier of our visit.

Dear Sharad & Yogesh,
Just a quick note to thank you for our great travel arrangements while in India.
We arrived safely home late last night and haven't unpacked yet. We loved our
week's stay in India -- everything worked out perfectly! And thanks Yogesh for
your kind attentions, even for getting up so early on our last day to see us
off at the airport!
Due to the airport strike, we barely got out that day -- as the plane was taking
off, we saw that there were no other planes at Terminal 2 -- obviously no additional
flights took off after ours departed. That was a close call! But thanks to your
assistance with Air India and recommendations of being at the airport early,
we made it out just in time.
Thanks also for providing Dilip as our driver throughout the trip -- he safely
maneuvered through every type of traffic and brought us back in safety and comfort.
We really appreciate everything you did for us and for the great friendship
that we have established and strengthened during this trip. I will be writing
you more comments and discussions about the trip in the near future, and as
promised, when we write our little newsletter to our friends & family about
our trip, I will put in a great recommendation for your professional travel
services in India, and also send you a copy of the newsletter.
Will write more later.
Thanks again,
Nildo & James

Dear Sharad,
"We wanted our India trip to emphasize wildlife and nature (and of course
we hoped to see tigers!), but we wanted also to get a feeling for the diverse
spiritual and cultural history of India and her people. With the limited time
we had available for travel these goals seemed almost too much to ask. But as
it turned out, from start to finish our India trip was a resounding success,
thanks mostly to the superb planning and professional care provided for us by
Sharad Vats and Nature Safari Ltd. At each camp, national park, and historic
site, we felt like we were treated as VIP's. Transfers were generally seamless,
and Sharad Vats arranged and kept viable backup plans in place in case we experienced
flight delays or cancellations due to weather. We were always met on time by
a friendly and knowledgeable guide upon our arrival into a new train station
or airport, and the personal sightseeing tours arranged for us in cities and
historic areas were outstanding and truly informative. Our hotel and camp accommodations
(most of which were suggested or recommended by Nature Safari) were always of
very high quality and comfort, as was the food and service. Our car transportation
arrangements were uniformly excellent and our driving days were quite comfortable,
despite the inherent difficulties of road travel in some of the remote regions
we visited. To top it all off, we were fortunate beyond our hopes in sighting
tigers and other wildlife in the parks, due especially to the superb skills
of the naturalists and trackers arranged for our visit by Nature Safari. We
arrived home with photographs and memories to last a lifetime! I recommend most
highly the expert services of Sharad Vats and Nature Safari Ltd. to all serious
travelers who seek the best experiences that a cultural and wildlife-oriented
visit to India can offer."

Dear Sharad,
Tiger, tiger, tiger, we met a tiger!
Unbelievably beautiful tiger is in front of us, 5m ahead of us. He watched me,
and I watched him. I visited several national parks in India, of course including
Ranthamnbore. But I had the best experience in Bandhavgarh National Park. Much
more chances to see tigers, good trail to the Fort learning Hindu gods and history,
and a nice friendly lodge, Tiger Den Resort.
We all enjoyed staying Tiger Den Resort. With beautiful gardens, spacious rooms
with hot water and especially the foods were excellent. Shailendra and all the
staff at the Resort were so kind and helpful. We saw tigers every day.
Sharad, thank you very much for all your efforts and services. You are the most
reliable operator in India.
I organized the tour to India so many times, and I feel getting tired of it.
But I would like to come back here again next year. It is worth spending so
much time and money. It is worth traveling a long way by train to Bandhavgarh.

Dear Sharad
As promised, our thoughts on our trip :
Travelling with two young children in India for the first time we were delighted
to see so much wildlife and enjoy such a wonderful experience during our two
weeks. Our itinerary was so well organised as to make the whole trip unforgettable.
The efficiency, consideration and friendliness of the Nature Safari and Tiger
Den staff, especially, made us feel that we were amongst friends and made the
wonderful experience of seeing tigers in the wild all the more enjoyable. I
would recommend a similar trip to anyone, without reservation and will definately
be booking through Nature Safari again. It is great to know you can trust someone
to organise things exactly the way you want, especailly when travelling as a
family.
All the very best
John

Hi Sharad,
There was a 2 hour delay leaving Katni but we were only 1 hour late into Bombay
(not too bad considering the distance covered).
May I say that the whole experience from the booking (which can be a little
daunting over the internet) to the actual tour was fantastic and handled in
a very professional and thorough way - The 'Temples and Tiger Tour' which I
basically followed was superb, each place being incredibly interesting with
the reassurance that all reservations and more importantly transfers to the
various airports, train stations and hotels are taken care of, which were absolutely
faultless - Thank you!
I have also passed on your business card and my commendation to the TCI representative
here. I hope he will be able to refer more clients to Nature Safari.
Best of luck in the future and thank you for a wonderful holiday.
Kind Regards,
John Barker
