Can we stay extra nights at Tarangi Ramganga Resort?
Of course! We have reserved a room block with the hotel for February 18th
and 21st, in case guests want to extend their stay.
We have made arrangements with the hotel for guests to keep the same room
throughout the stay.
Please reach out to us and we will share the details on how you can book
the extra nights; do not book through any websites.
What weather should be expected for February in Corbett?
The weather in Jim Corbett National Park for mid to end of February is
expected to be mostly sunny with a high of 25°C and a low of 11°C.
Early mornings, evenings, and nights get chilly, so pack light additional
layers accordingly.
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
All wedding events are outdoors in the venue lawns (have mercy on us rain
gods!). Only on the Sangeet night, after 10pm, the party / music will
move indoors.
How is it to travel around the national park at night / after dark?
It is best to avoid being on the road at nighttime and after dark since
the venue, and the park in general, is among the hills, with small,
winding roads. Driving / travelling in the hills in the dark can be
tricky.
Will there be a registry?
We are still thinking about it and will keep you updated!
Are there any tips to keep in mind when applying for the e-visa for India?
Apply for the e-Tourist Visa from the
Indian government portal.
The website can be slow and buggy at times, using Firefox usually
works better. Expect the following information to be requested:
Parents' place of birth
Countries visited in last 10 years
Emergency contact in India
Passport like photo id (jpg less than 1MB)
Passport details scan (pdf less than 300KB – 500KB worked for us)
Applications are usually processed within 72 hours but we recommend
applying at least a month in advance. Please remember to also print the e-visa and carry it with you for the
travel, since you will be asked for this at immigration at the airport,
at hotels for check-in etc.
When, where and how can we shop for Indian clothes for the wedding?
For non-Indians traveling to India for the first time and looking for
Indian wedding attire, you can shop in Delhi or online if you prefer.
While there are several markets and places to shop at, we recommend a
one-stop-shop mall near us,
DLF Mall of India, Noida,
where you can find most known outlets and brands present in Delhi NCR.
We will be around at the mall on Sunday (Feb 15) afternoon / evening in
case you want to plan your shopping at the same time. If you want to do some online browsing beforehand to acquaint yourselves
with Indian clothes, search the following:
Women: saree, lehenga, salwar suit, anarkali suit, etc.
Men: Kurta pajama, nehru jacket, bandhgala suit / jacket, etc.
Yes, it is advisable to always travel with cash (in Indian currency) on
you. Most places in Delhi will accept international cards, and the resort
in Corbett accepts international Visa and Mastercards. However, you don't
want to be stuck in an emergency, so be prepared!
Is there a different plug type in India?
Yes, the plug type in India is different from the ones in US and Europe;
you will need a travel plug adapter. Adapters are widely available in
India at the airports, stores, etc. You can also buy online on Amazon or
elsewhere from the US or France.
How can we book jungle safaris? Plus, all you need to know.
The national park is home to bengal tigers, asian elephants, deer,
monkeys, sloth bears, etc. For transparency, spotting tigers is totally
dependent on your luck and keep in mind that tigers are elusive! Sloth
bears are even more rare to sight since they keep away from tigers and
tend to be nocturnal.
Jungle safaris happen either in the morning (starting at 6-7am depending
on season) or afternoon / evening (starting at 2-3pm depending on
season). Please note that the start time is from the entrance gates. You will have
to leave your hotel for the safari accordingly, penciling in the time to
travel to the appropriate park entrance gate from which your safari is
supposed to start. Depending on when you reach Corbett, you can do a
morning safari on the 19th as well; we have the morning free that day.
Safari bookings for February have not begun yet and we will keep you
updated on details in time. For bookings, non-Indians are required to share
their passport details with the booking agent, and Indians their ID proof.
