Crucial Booking & Operational Guidelines

Planning Horizon (Indians): Stays should be requested at least 45 to 60 days in advance. Because forest permits and stays sell out instantly, immediate payment and passenger ID copies are required to guarantee inventory confirmation.

Planning Horizon (Foreigners): Room bookings require planning 90 days in advance. Full passports and valid visa documents must be shared with our desk immediately upon booking requests.

Integrated Meal Services: Dhikala, Gairal, and Bijrani package stays include canteen dining. For other secluded stays like Sultan, Mailani, Jhirna, or Phanto, Gola Holidays coordinates all catering/kitchen provisions so you have zero inconvenience.

Mandatory Gate Deadlines: Stayouts or late arrival at park gates is strictly forbidden. Gypsies carrying staying guests must cross the gates before early sunset closure timings. Guests must report to check-in checkpoints on time.
