Indian plug sockets take either 2 or 3 round pin plugs. The voltage is 220V. A razor socket is provided in the bathroom. There are plenty of charging points inside your tent for all your gadgets.

Which tropical illnesses do I need to watch out for?

There is differing advice among travel and health clinics about the prevalence of malaria in our region. Malaria does exist here, although its presence has reduced over the last few years. We provide a local repellent and burn citronella oil to deter mosquitos. The use of anti-malarial medication is a personal choice. 

Dengue fever, Japanese Encephalitis are NOT found in Kanha, and rabies is uncommon.
