Q: We are a group of 8 people from Gandhinagar. Can we fit in one Jeep?
A: The legal limit is 6 adults + 2 children (below 12 years) per Gypsy. If you are 8 adults, you will strictly need to book two Gypsies.
Q: How far in advance should we book?
A: Since you are driving all the way from Gandhinagar, you cannot chance "walk-in" bookings. Slots finish weeks in advance. We recommend booking at least 30 days prior to your arrival.
