Accelerated growth of nature and wildlife travel
As we’ve lockdown for more than 3 months now in our apartments, grateful for our balconies, terraces, windows.

No Suprise, till now you have been an expert in being cleanliness and health-conscious. Here are some safety tips before you get out of your house to travel.
The most important of these is Do Not Forget the Masks
Road trips bring you in close contact with many travelers and locals and thus call for certain precautions. Moreover, with the skyrocketing demand, it is always safe to have more than one.
- Avoid touching your nose, eyes, and mouth with fingers. We know it might itch occasionally, but make sure to use hand sanitizer before scratching.
- Wear a mask and make sure to change it every 10 hours while traveling. Carry along enough masks to help yourself and others in your surroundings.
- Sneeze and cough into a tissue or the insides of your elbow, dispose of used tissues responsibly.
- Go digital! Digital payments are the key to minimizing physical contact between buyers and sellers.
- Pack enough food from home, and avoid eating out as much as possible. Also, do not forget to wash your hands (for 20 seconds, at least) before eating.
- Use separate bottles and spoons while eating on the way and avoid sharing. Better yet, carry your bottles and disposable dishes and do away with them safely to prevent environmental pollution.
- Dust and pollution are quite common when road tripping in India and nowadays there is a threat of dangerous viruses. Make sure to carry sufficient clothes, scarves, and cover-ups.
- Do not forget to carry handy detergent sachets and bottles of disinfectants, since it is important to stay clean and discourage the breeding of germs.
- Keep washable sandals and slippers with you wherever you can, because Covid-19 thrives on surfaces and regular cleaning is the only cure.
- Also be equipped with the details of the nearest hospitals, COVID-19 centers, and emergency numbers. Use the Aarogya Setu app to know any infected person near you. Go through their quarantine guidelines if you are traveling to another state.
