During the Charotar Crocodile Count, participants will stay at a hostel facility in Vadtal. The accommodation includes basic amenities with rooms featuring attached bathrooms and toilets. Rooms are assigned on a triple-occupancy basis and are non-AC. Please note that the hostel does not offer internet access, so if you require a reliable connection, we recommend making your own arrangements.

Sessions will be held at the conference hall of CHARUSAT in Changa. We will provide transport to the fieldwork sites, and all local transport throughout the event will be organized by us. Please be aware that the organizers will make all accommodation placements based on availability, and we are unable to accommodate specific preferences or discuss changes.
