About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Freedom645904557300 contributionsPathetic and unprofessional service.They did not procure trek permits for me. When i reached the base point early morning, they started accusing me of not calling and confirming. I later came to know that none of the trekkers from Banbanjara got permits and I had to cancel my trek. They stopped picking my calls after that when i tried to get a refund.Written 6 January 2025
- Coastal526721788530 contributionsFraudulent and completely avoidable , these aggregators should be banned until they show some accountabilityOne of the biggest FRAUD aggregators in town is BANBANJARA . Look at how they play out a scam - first they ask for 30% money upfront. They cook up a scenario that everything is tightly booked and there was a last minute cancellation . We were in touch with Rachit @ Banbanjara who turned out to be a fraud . He did not tell us the name of the desert camp we were booking for the new year eve til the evening before . Once we reached there, OZAKI CAMP @ Jaisalmer , we were underwhelmed , an unwelcoming crew , no electrical power , dirty linens, and no food till 7.00 pm since afternoon. We finally decided to abandon our Newyear eve gathering and returned back to JaisalmerWritten 31 December 2024
- Curiosity110404628220 contributionsIt's an extremely terrible experience. Please don't even think of bookingIt's an extremely terrible experience. Please don't even think of booking. I have booked trekking for Skandagiri in Bengaluru. The customer service is very rude, and they don't respond. My trek was completely ruined. The local agent just simply canceled the trip, and they have not been agreeing for a refund also. They just want to book another trip with them or no refund. If you care about trip experience and money, don't book here go for professional and prompt travel companies.Written 27 December 2024

- Travel633194232210 contributionsExtremely Disappointing Experience with Banbanjara Travels::I recently booked a Bangalore to Ooty trip with Banbanjara Travels, but unfortunately, the experience was marred by unmet promises and subpar service. Here are the details of my disappointing experience: - First Disappointment: The website advertised a "Pushback Bus," but we were provided with a pushback tempo, which lacked comfortable seats and was uncomfortable overall. - Second Disappointment: The journey was uncomfortable, and I couldn't sleep. The tempo stopped for 30 minutes without reason and then again for 1 hour at a substandard roadside hotel with unhygienic restrooms. - Third Disappointment: We weren't informed that this hotel was the designated refreshment point for the entire day. Moreover, we didn't get to stay in good hotels until 7 pm, and we had to enjoy sightseeing and take photos without basic amenities like brushing our teeth, taking a bath, or changing out of our night outfits. - Poor Communication: After booking, the operator didn't respond to my calls or messages. They would pick up calls and transfer them to someone else or respond through mail, showing a lack of accountability. -Poor Timings and Arrangements: Trip was marred by poor planning and last-minute cancellations. Despite paying for a comprehensive package, we missed out on several promised attractions due to the operator's convenience. The excuses provided were unconvincing and lacked accountability. On the second day, the entire program was cancelled after the first sightseeing spot, citing the Governor's visit to Ooty as the reason. This was clearly a failure on the part of the operator to anticipate and plan accordingly. We were left paying for services that were not delivered, which is unacceptable. Banbanjara Travels must take responsibility for their mistakes and refund the money for the cancelled programs. It's unfair to expect customers to pay for services that were not provided. - Guides: The guides were hired and while they did their best, the poor service wasn't entirely their fault. "I hope Banbanjara Travels takes my feedback seriously and improves their services to meet customer expectations. A more transparent and customer-centric approach would go a long way in building trust and loyalty."Written 28 May 2024

- Scenic364304481400 contributionsBANBANJARA- A FRAUD THIRD PARTY COMPANYHad a very terrible experience with Banbanjara as they cancelled the trek on last moment when I was waiting for the guide to start as the base point,just beacuse there were no other bookings they could get. They are totally fraud. DO NOT BOOK ANY TREK with BANBANJARA. Arpita (7339938100) from Banbanjara had spoken to me before booking this trek of Kheerganga.She told me that everyday batches are there and I had booked thos trek for Sunday 18th Feb. Attached is the payment screenshot. There was no cancellation policy or anything that sought that was shared with me and I was asked to report at 11.30 AM at Dev Cafe on Sunday, 18th Feb. I was there at 10AM and waited till 1.30 PM yesterday and was in touch with Arpita from Banbanjara team. The person over there informed that there is no other booking and hence the trek is cancelled. Due to this unprofessional behaviour I had to bear taxi charges to and from Barshaini 2200 each side to Kasol all this time was wasted and had to return back without doing this trek.. I came all the way and yesterday Arpita informed that entire refund will be processed by operations team and then I returned back to Kasol. Now today morning she is not answering my calls and she messaged me that no refund will be given as trek was not cancelled. So I have no other option but to report it to consumer forum. Iam also going to write a linkedin post mentioned your instagram handle and people working. DOCKET NUMBER- 5492123Written 19 February 2024

- MaalolanKannan0 contributionsNAG TIBBA TREK - A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCEI went to the Nag Tibba Trek organised by Banbanjara. The trek was amazing and the views were extraordinary. The tent available for accomodation was good and the care taker was an amazing person. Even though I was the only person they still arranged the trip which was amazing!Written 10 December 2023
- Getaway156060672630 contributionsPathetic service and terrible experiencePlease don't waste your money and time. I had booked for the Kumarparvath trek on 29th sept 2023 and experienced the most horrible unorganised trek ever. So firstly the booking was done in Banbanjara with a group of max 21 members and we were assigned to “Antriksha trekkers” with trek lead Gajanan and Suhas. We boarded the bus from Bangalore with 50 members which was very congesting and uncomfortable journey to Kukke Subramanya. As we already knew that the Tents and sleeping bags were available in the Bhattarmane or the Forest check post but still they made us to carry them to bhattar mane from the base point which is roughly around 11 kms in total from the room. And the lame reason given was the tents were old in bhattamane and that’s why they purchased the new tents for this trek. So we started the trek @ around 7.30amfrom our room and carried our tents and the backpacks to reach Bhattarmane which is one of the most difficult terrain to trek. So as soon as we reached there was no one to guide us for even to know where to pitch in our tents. And later with the help of other trekkers group we figured out how to pitch in those tents and even our guides had no idea how to pitch them. And since it was raining all the tents and sleeping bags were already wet and water started gushing inside the tent because they didn’t have any sleeping foam which was supposed to be carried with the tent. We literally could see rest all of the trekkers were inside their tent even when it rained heavily and we just stood outside in the rain. And the bhattar mane was very far from the place where they told us to pitch in our tents which itself is another trek and the trails are very slippery. And we saw there was a huge chaos around the Bhattarmane with around 600 people waiting for the dinner which was not open until 8.30pm. There were leeches on the plates which were crushed and with all the blood stains on those plates. Here at least the rest of the trek groups they had got their own plates/plastic boxes because the guides were very well informed. Barely few of us could get the food and rest of us walked back without the food. The accommodation was terribly bad and no one could sleep in tent that night. Later Suhas(guide)informed us that we are descending down in the morning and we spoke to Forest officer who was in charge regarding the issue and he strictly informed him to pursue the trek next day. Since nobody had proper sleep and food we agreed to Suhas’s(guide) request and descended down again carrying all the tents and sleeping bags without even starting the actual trek to the peak. We had a difficult trek after which we had to sleep without food in the cold and rainy conditions and we were asked to trek back without breakfast and with huge disappointment of not reaching the peak. We planned for this trek for months taking time out of our hectic schedules and it was very unfortunate that we chose Banbanjara for this long weekend.Written 10 October 2023

Went for an evening Safari in a gypsy with 2 other co-passengers.Shobhit accompanied us.
It was a 2.5 hour Safari and we saw 1 leopard, lots of Nilgai, Peahens, Peacocks some exquisite birds, Langurs, Spotted Deers and a hare.
The ranger and the passengers were very patient in ensuring that we got good sightings and especially took care of our little one.
Would like to visit again in summer season in anticipation of more spotting and perhaps the chase.
Thank you Trip Advisor for the great rates and a wonderful experience!!

I have never thought that this kind of place existed in my home town Jaipur!
Last Sunday I have experienced the new wonder of Jaipur that is Jhalana Safari. First of all, I would like thanks to the efforts of Rajasthan Forest Department who have provided the opportunity to us to interact with nature and experience the wonderful mammal- “The Leopard”.
Till now I have only seen this animal on the discovery, national geographic channel and in the zoo behind bars. When I came to know that I can see it also in my home town in the natural environment then I decided to go there with my family. First of all, I was searching here and there for the booking but I got confused then one of my friends suggested me to go with the Banbanjara. Actually he has also gone with them and his experience was quite good. Then I booked the trip from their online portal.
The best thing I found that they have picked us from our house where other tour providers told me to reach the entrance then they will start the ride from there and nothing included only they were asking me for the tour price. In the comparison of them, BanBanjara Travels provided us with a water bottle, soft drinks, entry tickets within a single cost and without any hidden charges. Our forest expert cum guide Rohit told some interesting stories and explain each point about the forest. I enjoyed that trip lot with family.
I want to pay my special gratitude and Heartley wishes to the BanBanjara team to make my Jhalan Leopard Safari Trip awesome.
Thanks a lot! BanBanajara

Disastrous booking process. Online booking of safari was not honoured after arriving at hotel few hours before the start. Wasted money, time and effort. High commissions payable to site was unviable to safari operator. He offered to book another after few days!! Trip advisor must pay for hotel, fuel, tolls and time.

Today, my friends and I, visited one of the most underrated and unexplored places in Jaipur that is Jhalana Leopard Safari. It was only 10 mins from my hotel in the heart of Jaipur. We had went for the evening safari with the trip organized by BanBanjara. Their services were well managed, as their coordinators were connected with us.
We had spotted a bunch of Nilgais, Deers and we were lucky enough to spot 1 female leopard. Also our driver in jeep safari was very friendly and experienced so he spoke with us throughout the safari.
Fun fact we learnt: Jhalana is comparatively smaller compared to other wildlife reserves in India so the chance of seeing leopards and other animals are comparatively higher in Jhalana.

Totally overpriced! Better to book through the official website - then it only costs a third! We didn't get any water or juice bottles, let alone someone from the agency to greet us on site. All in all, totally disappointing and never worth the money!

Driver was a complete fraud. We went into the reserve spent 15 minutes then he turned around and went back to pick up two others - we therefore missed out on the experience. We travelled 10,000 km for this experience and get treated like dirt by the money hungry locals - avoid at all costs. Waste of time and money - and it’s run by the government of rajahstan - I will be telling all my colleagues not to bother A disgrace!

We got to see the Leopard!!, actually 2 of them during our morning safari. The Jhalana jungle is a small jungle as compared to many other reserves, hence sighting is little more easier (one has to be lucky to sight any big wild cat in any reserve), the probability of sighting Leopard is higher at Jahana.

Chance of a good leopard sighting are very high especially in summers , first Safari were a saw a electric van for Safari , overall sighting was very good as we saw two leopards , flora and rana and that also head on , both sightings were more than 10 min , it’s very near to city area so u don’t need to travel much , I think a must visit for any wildlife enthusiast who is visiting jaipur
