Bastar Dussehra Festival Tour 2026

While the itinerary includes all intra-tour travel, it's helpful to know that some roads—especially near waterfalls, tribal villages, or during processions—might be bumpy, crowded, or narrow. Expect slow-paced journeys, occasional delays, or stops for pedestrians and animals. Carry a small bag with essentials in case a vehicle can’t get close, and wear comfortable shoes for walking between sites.

Yes, though Bastar is generally safe, tourism infrastructure is still developing. Unexplored Bastar has researched access to nearby medical facilities and supports guests in emergencies. That being said, travelers should bring essential medication and inform the team about health concerns in advance. And a first aid kit is always carried by your tour guide.

The Dussehra celebration is deeply spiritual, involving tribal customs like Rath Yatra and Mawali Parghav. Always follow your guide’s instructions, ask before taking photos, and dress modestly—especially in sacred areas. Avoid pushing through crowds; instead, enter processions from designated points, and show respect for local traditions and spaces.

Meals usually include Veg Central Indian cuisine along with local delicacies. However, traditional or rural settings may limit variety, so if you have dietary restrictions (e.g., vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free), it's best to notify the organizers in advance to make appropriate arrangements.

Cancellation charges apply based on timing: typically, around 15% of the tour cost is retained if you cancel 90 days ahead, rising to 50% between 16–59 days, and full forfeiture if cancelled within the last 15 days. In the event of delays, natural disruptions, or other uncontrollable events, contingency options are offered—but the financial implications remain with the traveler.
