点评:We booked a gypsy jungle safari online. The online booking process was smooth. I was also charged for camera and LMV parking during the booking process. When we reached the safari point, the staff asked me to park on the road. I don't know why they charged me for parking. The safari started on time. There was no guide, the driver could not speak any language other than Tamil, so it was difficult to communicate and the whole trip was like we were on entirely our own looking around trying to spot wildlife. It seemed like there is only one track in the jungle and the driver kept going on that path like a robot without stopping. We had to tell him to stop so that we could take some pictures. Unfortunately, we could not spot any animals except a wild boar and a captive elephant. An obvious comparison comes up with the Bandipur safari. First of all, you pay almost 5K at both Mudumalai and Bandipur but the safari lasts only one hour in Mudumalai whereas duration at Bandipur is 2 hours. Bandipur does not charge for regular small cameras but Mudumalai does. At Bandipur, a guide accompanies you on the safari who explains the flora and fauna of the forest. Most of these guides can speak English or Hindi besides Tamil and Kannada which is a plus. Lastly, it is true that animal sighting is a matter of luck but it is a matter of fact that Bandipur has much more successful sightings compared to Mudumalai. Overall, the safaris at Mudumalai can be better managed and organized. It is clearly not worth paying for a safari at Mudumalai.
翻译:我们在网上预订了吉普赛丛林探险。网上预订过程很顺利。在预订过程中,我还被收取了相机和 LMV 停车费。当我们到达狩猎点时,工作人员让我把车停在路边。我不知道为什么他们要收我停车费。狩猎之旅准时开始。没有导游,司机不会说泰米尔语以外的任何语言,所以很难沟通,整个旅程就像我们完全自己环顾四周,试图发现野生动物。丛林里好像只有一条路,司机就像机器人一样沿着那条路不停地走。我们不得不叫他停下来,以便我们可以拍一些照片。不幸的是,除了野猪和圈养大象之外,我们没有发现任何动物。班迪普尔野生动物园是一个明显的比较。首先,您在 Mudumalai 和 Bandipur 都支付了近 5K,但在 Mudumalai 的游猎之旅仅持续 1 小时,而 Bandipur 的持续时间为 2 小时。 Bandipur 不对普通小型相机收费,但 Mudumalai 收费。在班迪普尔,导游会陪伴您进行野生动物探险,向您解释森林里的动植物群。除了泰米尔语和卡纳达语之外,大多数导游都会说英语或印地语,这是一个优势。最后,确实,看到动物需要运气,但事实上,班迪普尔的目击事件比穆杜马莱要成功得多。总体而言,穆杜马莱的狩猎之旅可以得到更好的管理和组织。显然不值得为 Mudumalai 的狩猎之旅付费。
