Why Choose Us for Your India Nature Adventure?

• An All-Encompassing Wildlife Itinerary...in Less-Traveled Parks This is the ultimate India experience for nature lovers. Boost your chances of seeing Bengal tigers—plus a host of other Indian wildlife—on visits to three different national parks that are home to some of India's most concentrated tiger populations. Most travelers go to Ranthambore National Park at peak season, which is heavily advertised and very crowded. We visit equally appealing Bandhavgarh National Park instead, plus Kanha and Kaziranga, which are more remote with far fewer tourists. Kanha also offers some of India's best tiger-viewing possibilities, while Kaziranga offers close encounters with rhinos and wild elephants. We also have a chance to see seven deer species and 600-plus bird species among an impressive diversity of wildlife. 
• India’s Finest Naturalist Guides Our India Expedition Leaders average more than 15 years' experience—with top-level training including resources from WWF scientists. You won’t find more knowledgeable, personable or enthusiastic guides than those who are proud to work for us. Our philosophy is simple: a nature adventure is only as good as the guide who leads it, so we provide the very best! See Expedition Leader bios with traveler comments regarding the quality of our leaders.
• A Small Group Means More Authentic Nature Experiences Most visitors to India travel in large groups aboard tour buses, focusing on cities and crowded cultural monuments. But that’s no way to experience India’s rich nature, which is our focus. We take just 11 guests, for a lower impact in nature reserves and more personal encounters with wildlife and local people.
• Nine Days of Wildlife-Focused Activities in Varied Habitats Spend three days each in three premier wildlife reserves as we explore contrasting Asian habitats: the dry mixed deciduous forests of central India and the moist floodplains and grasslands of the Brahmaputra basin. Morning and afternoon safari outings provide a variety of perspectives. 
• Distinctive Accommodations Enhance Your Safari When you travel with us to India, our accommodations ensure your every comfort. Environmentally sensitive ecolodges, while secluded, offer exceptional amenities. Each is selected for proximity to wildlife and the high quality of the guest experience. India’s luxury urban hotels are renowned worldwide, and the 5-star hospitality of the landmark Taj Mahal Hotel in Delhi and the Taj City Center New Town Kolkata offer welcome indulgences before and between our safari adventures. 
• Our Presence Directly Helps to Protect Tigers After years of precipitously declining tiger numbers, India is charting steady increases. Its 2022 quadrennial tiger census counted 3,682 tigers, up from 2,967 in 2018, an annual rise of 6%. Conservation groups attribute a share of the increase to responsible ecotourism. The economic value of visitors to India's tiger reserves benefits local communities, offering people an incentive to protect the wildlife they share the land with. Given that India is home to 75% of the world's remaining wild tigers, our presence here for wildlife tourism here is integral to that continued success. 
• Our Quality-Value Guarantee Ensures Your Outstanding India Wildlife Safari With Natural Habitat Adventures, you receive our exclusive quality value guarantee that promises we will meet the high expectations we set forth in our promotional materials. To our knowledge, this is the most ambitious guarantee made by any adventure travel company. Read our important promise.
• Feel Good About Your Carbon-Neutral Journey We care deeply about our planet, as we know you do. When you travel with us, the carbon emissions from your trip are 100% offset—including your round-trip flights from home. Natural Habitat Adventures has been the world’s first carbon-neutral travel company since 2007.

6 sensational places to see wildlife in India

Explore India's National Parks to spot diverse animal life, including tigers, leopards, rhinos, birds and river dolphins.

Beyond India’s buzzing cities nature lovers can discover serene sanctuaries teeming with wildlife . While the iconic Bengal tiger—India’s national animal—is the top draw for safari-goers, an impressive array of wild things can be spotted in India’s teakwood forests, grasslands, mountains, rivers, and other natural spaces.

India has more than a hundred national parks, covering over 15,600 square miles of protected land. Many of the country’s wildlife sanctuaries once were hunting reserves of the maharajas, and more than 50 have been designated as tiger reserves. According to the last available census, done in 2014 by the Wildlife Institute of India (WII), India is home to 2,226 tigers, 70 percent of which reside within tiger reserves.

If you’re ready to fulfill a bucket-list dream of seeing a wild Bengal tiger or are eager to spot Asian elephants, Asiatic wild dogs, and other species rarely seen outside of zoological parks, here are six superlative spots in India for wildlife watching.

Nagarahole National Park, Karnataka

The lush forests and marshlands of southern India’s Nagarahole National Park, also known as Rajiv Gandhi National Park , form one of the country’s premier tiger destinations. Backed by the hills of the Western Ghats, the park is filled with fragrant sandalwood and teak trees, thick groves of bamboo, and dozens of winding streams. A jeep safari is the best option to spot big cats, while a slow drift in a coracle—a small round boat—along the Kabini River offers prime viewing opportunities for aquatic birds, crocodiles, and Indian elephants.

FUN FACT: Nagarahole is one of the best national parks in the world for spotting leopards.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: The park is open year-round but can close due to flooding in July and August during monsoon season. It’s best explored as part of a tour of the region, combining Nagarahole with trips to Karnataka’s beaches, hill stations, and the lovely city of Mysore (Mysuru).

WHEN TO VISIT: October to February

GATEWAY CITY: Mysore

Kaziranga National Park, Assam

On the floodplains of the Brahmaputra River, Kaziranga National Park began as a forest preserve in 1905 with the aim of bringing the greater one-horned rhinoceros back from the brink of extinction. Hunted for their prized horns, rhinos are a prime target for poaching. With Kaziranga’s protection, nearly two-thirds of the world’s population of greater one-horned rhinos now live inside the park. The reserve’s many tigers are well hidden amid elephant grass and dense jungle. But you’ll spot buffalo, endangered swamp deer, and river dolphins.

FUN FACT : Named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1985, Kaziranga is one of the last areas in eastern India largely untouched by humans.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO : Most visitors fly from Kolkata to Jorhat, 70 miles from the park, or Guwahati, 135 miles away. The park is closed from June to September for monsoon season.

WHEN TO VISIT: November to March

GATEWAY CITY : Jorhat

Keoladeo National Park, Rajasthan

Situated between the historic cities of Jaipur and Agra, Keoladeo National Park is an ornithologist’s dream, with hundreds of bird species in its compact size. Once a duck-hunting ground for maharajas in the 19th century, this reserve became a bird sanctuary in 1976 and a national park in 1982. Now a UNESCO World Heritage site, it plays a vital role in protecting migratory birds, an aim of National Geographic’s 2018 Year of the Bird campaign. Many species along the Central Asian flyway, some critically endangered, winter here. Part wetland and part savanna, the park is crowded with painted storks, and birders delight in spotting sarus cranes, spoonbills, and black-headed ibises.

FUN FACT: Keoladeo hosts migratory waterfowl from China, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, and Siberia.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO : Most visitors arrive via the two-hour drive from Agra, while the nearest airports are in Delhi and Jaipur.

GATEWAY CITY: Agra or Jaipur

Satpura National Park, Madhya Pradesh

Picturesque Satpura National Park , in the highlands of central India, is a photographer’s paradise. Grasslands and malachite green forests are riddled by ravines and slot canyons, concealing temples and waterfalls. “I love Madhya Pradesh,” says National Geographic photographer Matthieu Paley. “It’s a pocket of real India, far from the obsessive selfie culture. Just make sure you bring enough spare camera batteries.” The park is home to leopards, birds, and sloth bears, but the highlight is its diverse range of antelope and deer species.

FUN FACT: Tranquil herds of diminutive Indian muntjacs, long-limbed spotted chital, and splendidly antlered sambars and blackbucks move through Satpura’s woodland glades.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: Satpura offers safaris by jeep, motorboat, kayak, and foot. Bhopal is the nearest airport, while Pipariya is the closest railhead. The park is easily accessed by road from the cities of Jabalpur, Chhindwara, and Nagpur.

WHEN TO VISIT: November to February

GATEWAY CITY: Bhopal

Hemis National Park, Jammu And Kashmir

High in the Himalaya, Hemis National Park envelops snow-covered peaks and alpine tundra at the northern tip of India. Most visitors come in summer when Buddhist prayer flags flutter under the sun, but the park is a year-round picture of sparse beauty. “Visit Hemis in winter,” advises Paley. “That’s when landscapes are starkest.” It’s also the best time to spot this remote park’s headline attraction: snow leopards. A new count is forthcoming, but the WII, citing a 2013 estimate, reported that 3,920 to 6,390 snow leopards may remain in the wild. Hemis likely hosts the densest population, but sightings are rare.

FUN FACT: The park’s elusive snow leopards are known as “gray ghosts.”

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: About an hour flight from Delhi, the Ladakh region’s main city, Leh, is 11,500 feet above sea level, so allow time to acclimatize to the altitude.

WHEN TO VISIT: January to March

GATEWAY CITY: Leh

Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park, Andaman Islands

Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park consists of 15 forest-cloaked islands surrounded by coral reefs and home to indigenous tribes. Tourism is just beginning to take off here, and only two islands—Jolly Buoy and Red Skin—are open to the public, offering visitors a profound sense of remoteness. “Finding a king cobra on her nest, visiting the home of the endemic Narcondam hornbill, watching manta rays feed in the current. These have been my most precious experiences in 40 years of visiting the Andamans ,” says Rom Whitaker, a National Geographic filmmaker and co-founder of the Andaman Nicobar Environment Team.

FUN FACT: More than 560 coral species have been identified in the coral reefs of Jolly Buoy and Red Skin islands.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: Arrival is via Veer Savarkar airport in Port Blair, 600 miles from India’s east coast. Most activities close from June to August for the monsoon.

GATEWAY CITY: Port Blair

Our expectations were fairly high before we started, but we were blown away by the expertise, treatment and knowledge of our MTA GUIDE, Manish. Additionally, our driver Prakash was professional and very efficient. Nothing was too much trouble and we have come away with a feeling of genuinely having had a true 'Indian Experience'. Thank you, MTA!

Central India Wildlife Tour

I had to cancel the tour for personal reasons. This review is in praise of the thoughtful and understanding treatment that I received from Sunil at Alkof. He spend a lot of time explaining everything to me before and booked. Then, when I had to cancel, he was sympathetic and refunded my deposit. I've travelled a great deal and there are many tour operators who are untrustworthy. Alkof has shown itself to be honest and reliable.

Bandhavgarh Kanha Pench Tour

Our family had a customized tour that included all three national parks for tiger safaris as well as the traditional golden triangle tour. We had 2 different drivers during the tour that picked us up at the airport or drove us to the next location. The drivers were always early, extremely friendly and helpful, and the cars were immaculate. We stayed at six different hotels that were picked out for us. They were all very nice and I would stay at them again. The guides at each location were very knowledgeable and friendly. The company itself stayed in contact with me throughout the trip to make sure I did not need anything. I would highly recommend this company. This tour was much more flexible and convenient than participating in a group tour where everyone has to keep up with a group pace.

India's Tiger Trail

Our tour manager Harsha along went above and beyond to give our group a great experience making sure everything went smoothly. They enthusiastically answered all our questions and we really appreciated the information she shared about present day Inida as we travelled through the cities. Thank you !

8 Days GOLDEN TRIANGLE EXCURSION WITH RANTHAMBORE WILDLIFE SAFARI

Thanks to the driver Manish and his constant personal assistance, care, reliability I had the most wonderful trip ever. Manish is well educated, speaks English fluently, is a great driver on those hectic Indian roads. He does everything in his power to make sure his travelers are having the best time. He will recommend and bring you to restaurants suitable for western stomachs. He knows his way around and he has a broad knowledge of the places of interest. In addition, at every city and tourist places a knowledgeable guide showed me around, providing me with all historical information. A big thank you to all the different tour guides. The only thing that bothered me was that as a single traveler I had to pay almost 40% extra after I had done my bookings and first payment. It was not clearly stated before I did the booking and came as a surprise. My suggestion, make price policy clearer. On top of that I was advised to book dinner for 2 evenings at Ranthambore for the cost of 35 dollars per dinner. Nobody forced me to do this booking but when I realized that of course this is too expensive and not necessary to do, it was too late to change. Later I found out that the buffet, which I can highly recommend cost 1000 rupees which is about 12 dollars. To put it in a nutshell, because of the great service of the driver Manish and all tour guides I can definitely recommend this tour. Varanasi excursion planned the itinerary well and personally I enjoyed the length of 8 days as this way there is time to relax as well. The tour operator checked on me every evening to see if everything went well. The Hotel in Ranthambore was deluxe the other hotels were okay. It was not always quite the standard which I had expected due to the high price I had paid. With this first time tour experience, I will definitely book a tour again but will check in advance what kind of accommodation is included, what hidden extra costs are there and surely no need to book any dinners in advance.

Rajasthan Wildlife Safari Tour

Ranthambore Tiger Photography Tour

Mystic Trails of the Northeast: Temples, Tigers, and Tribes Expedition

Golden Triangle Delhi Agra Jaipur With Ranthambore National Park

As I only had a week and wanted to see the main attractions in the India, I thought it will be a challenge for the company but they did it with ease.. With only one day in Delhi, I managed to see five main attractions, going from one to the other in the comfort of an air conditioned car. In Agra, I visited the Red Fort and the Taj Mahal at sunset, before driving on the following day to Fatehpur Sikri, all of which were awesome and the history of which was explained to me by a knowledgeable guide who greeted me everywhere. Then I drove on to Ranthambore national Park for tiger sightings, fortunately, I saw tigers in both my safaris, and then to Jaipur, where I visited Amber Fort, and Jantar Mantar. All of my guides were well informed and enhanced my experience of each visit. My driver Suresh, who accompanied throughout, was very good at maneuvering through the chaos of traffic in India. And the hotels in which I stayed were all sufficiently well appointed. Rajasthan is a wondrously historic place and I highly recommend a visit to this place & that too with K K holidays .

Indian Wildlife Safari Reviews

Our expectations were fairly high before we started, but we were blown away by the expertise, treatment and knowledge of our MTA GUIDE, Manish. Additionally, our driver Prakash was professional and very efficient. Nothing was too much trouble and we have come away with a feeling of genuinely having had a true 'Indian Experience'. Thank you, MTA!

I had to cancel the tour for personal reasons. This review is in praise of the thoughtful and understanding treatment that I received from Sunil at Alkof. He spend a lot of time explaining everything to me before and booked. Then, when I had to cancel, he was sympathetic and refunded my deposit. I've travelled a great deal and there are many tour operators who are untrustworthy. Alkof has shown itself to be honest and reliable.

10 Types of Indian Wildlife and Where to Spot Them

There are hundreds of national parks and wildlife sanctuaries in India, which reflect the importance that the country places on nature and wildlife conservation. The variety of wildlife in India is incredibly diverse, and being able to view these animals and birds in their natural habitat is an experience of a lifetime. Different parks feature different animals, so it's a good idea to think about the particular types of wildlife you want to see and plan your trip accordingly. The following parks are the best places to go for a visual treat of tigers, lions, elephants, rhinoceros, birds, leopards, crocodiles and even wild ass!

Bengal Tiger: Bandhavgarh, Madhya Pradesh

Bandhavgarh is not the most accessible national park in India, but it does have amongst the best chances of seeing a tiger in the wild (also high on the list are Ranthambore in Rajasthan near Delhi, and Tadoba in Maharashtra). For those who are longing to catch a glimpse of the great big cat, it's well worth the effort to go there. If you allow two days for safaris, you're likely to be successful. Many people see a tiger on the first safari.

One Horned Rhinoceros: Kaziranga, Assam

Assam, in India's northeast region , offers plenty of appeal for wildlife lovers. The highlight is Kaziranga National Park, where you'll find the largest population of the prehistoric-looking one-horned rhinoceros in the world. Go on an elephant safari to spot them hiding in the wide expanse of grasslands. Another attraction is the birdlife -- both there and at Nameri National Park, which offers casual bird watching treks. If you want to get away from the crowds try the lesser-known Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary as an alternative.

Asiatic Lion: Gir, Gujarat

Tigers aren't the only big cats that you try your luck at seeing in India. Gir Wildlife Sanctuary has the last wild Asiatic lions in the world. This breed of lion, which could once be found as far as Syria to the west and Bihar (in India) to the east, was almost hunted to extinction in the 1870s. Now, thanks to conservation efforts, the lion population is too big for the sanctuary. Apparently, lions sometimes even venture to the beaches of Diu! Three-hour jeep safaris will take you around the reserve. In addition to lions, there are almost 40 other animals there, including spotted deer, sambar, antelope, and gazelles.

Wild Ass: Little Rann of Kutch, Gujarat

TripSavvy / Gautier Houba

Gujarat offers more still for wildlife enthusiasts. The harsh and unforgiving landscape of the Little Rann of Kutch, consisting mostly of dry thorny scrub, is home to the last of the Indian wild ass. There are around 2,000-3,000 of these notoriously untamable creatures within the 5,000 square kilometer Wild Ass Sanctuary. It's possible to go on a jeep safari to spot them. However, they're known to run fast -- an average of 50 kilometers an hour over long distances! If you're into birding, add Nalsarovar Bird Sanctuary to your trip. It's one of the few areas where flamingos breed in the wild in India. However, more than 200 types of birds can be found there escaping the cold winter in other parts of the country.

Elephant: Nagarhole, Karnataka

Nagarhole gains its name from the snake-like river that winds its way through it. This park is a place of unspoiled wilderness, with serene forest, bubbling streams, and a tranquil lake. Nagarhole can be explored by jeep, elephant back, and boat. Visitors can also go trekking. It's not unusual to see herds of elephants on the river bank.

Birds: Keoladeo Ghana National Park, Bharatpur, Rajasthan

Keoladeo National Park (formerly Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary), located 50 kilometers from Agra , was once a duck hunting reserve of the maharajas. It has more than 350 species of birds , including the Palaearctic migratory waterfowl and a large congregation of non-migratory resident breeding birds. The park is open from sunrise until sunset all year round, although a third of it is often submerged during the monsoon season . The best time to visit is from August to November for resident breeding birds and November to March for migrant birds. Inside the park, it's possible to walk, ride bicycles, or take a cycle rickshaw or boat (when the water level is high). Stay at Royal Farm guest house and enjoy delicious home-cooked organic food, or splurge at the heritage Chandra Mahal Haveli .

Leopard: Kambeshwar Ji Leopard Sanctuary, Bera, Rajasthan

The village of Bera and its surroundings, in the Pali district of Rajasthan (between Udaipur and Jodhpur ), are renowned for the many leopards that roam freely there. Jawai Dam Crocodile Sanctuary is also worth visiting for some of the biggest crocodiles that you'll ever see! You'll be able to spot birds, hyenas, hares, and foxes as well. The area is delightfully off the tourist trail but your hotel will arrange safaris. Stay at Castle Bera , or if you're not traveling on a budget, Jawai Leopard Camp . Also in the area, Bagheera's Camp Jungle Retreat is recommended.

Snow Leopard: Hemis National Park, Ladakh

If the prospect of seeing a leopard in the wild isn't exciting enough, try your luck at tracking the very elusive snow leopard in high altitude Hemis National Park! Located in the Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir, its landscape is made up of stunning snow-capped peaks, alpine forest, and desert. Frozen Himalayas conducts guided trips, staying at campsites and local Ladakhi homestays. Another alternative for seeing the snow leopard is the Spiti Valley in Himachal Pradesh. Ecosphere Spiti offers this Snow Leopard Trail.

Saltwater Crocodiles: Bhitarkanika Wildlife Sanctuary, Odisha

One of Odisha's top attractions , the mangroves of Bhitarkanika Wildlife Sanctuary are home to India's largest population of endangered Indian saltwater crocodiles. There are more than 1,600 of them, including the largest crocodile in the world according to the Guinness Book of World Records. It's a massive 23 feet long! Take a boat trip through the mangroves to see the crocodiles basking on the mudflats. Note that the sanctuary is closed from May 1 to July 31 each year, for the breeding season. Sand Pebbles Jungle Lodge is the best place to stay. Estuarine Village Resort is also recommended.

Brow-Antlered Deer: Keibul Lamjao National Park, Manipur

Manipur's Loktak Lake, the southeastern part of which falls within Keibul Lamjao National Park, is remarkable for being the world's only floating lake (it has a multitude of floating swampy islands called phumdi ) as well as being the only place in the world where brow-antlered deer ( sangai ) live. These endangered deer are Manipur's state animal. They're often referred to as dancing deer because they tend to wobble when walking on the soft vegetation. Successful conservation efforts have resulted in their population increased from an estimated 14 in 1975, to 260 in 2016. To see them, take a boat into the national park's wetlands early in the morning. October to April is the best time to go. Companies like  Seven Sisters Holidays in Manipur can arrange tours.

As biologists and conservationists, we adopt a scientific approach to the handcrafted design of your  India Wildlife Holidays  and  India tiger safaris . We look at climate change, tiger densities in each park and the seasonality of each key species – then put you in the right place, at the right time, with the right expert guide; to ensure you maximise your wildlife viewing in an ethical way.  Scroll down to our tours below to choose an India wildlife tour which best suits your own personal aspirations

We first visited for 3 months in 1997 and it has been a love affair ever since. We want to show you the real India, not just the famous cities which 90% of all tour companies include in their itinerary. This is not a country to be rushed; but slowly savoured like a good curry. Hop on a train, leave the hustle and bustle of the cities behind and experience the real India, by visiting the beautiful rural villages, which are often located next to tiger reserves, like Ranthambhore, Kanha and Bandhavgarh.

We are famous for insisting on longer stays in national parks and wildlife sanctuaries and personally visiting and checking every element of your safaris with our month long recce trips every year. Where else can you combine a Snow Leopard safari in the Himalayas, with Lions in Gujarat, tigers in central Indian and the magnificent Black Panther in the tropical jungles of the south. India is waiting for you and you could not be in better hands.

Tigers, Tigers Everywhere – But Where to Go on Your Indian Tiger Safari?

We are undoubtedly in a golden period for wild tigers in India. We can say that with more than 20 years of experience visiting India’s tiger parks and having seen our first wild tiger in Ranthambhore national park way back in February 1997. Every wildlife photographers Facebook page seems to be adorned with yet more photographs of tigers with their cubs and tiger sanctuaries like Ranthambhore, Tadoba and Bandhavgarh have ‘too many tigers’ to sustain within the core and buffer areas of the main national park – so what does this mean for you, if you are currently planning your tiger safari in India?

4 Most Common Mistakes People Make on an Indian Tiger Safari

Every year we receive numerous emails from clients who have already booked flights and maybe part of an India tiger safari holiday; but did not prioritise booking the jeeps. They then realise when they try to book the game drives online that all of the main zones are sold out and they basically don’t have a viable option to enter the park.

A Mini Yala for Leopards in Southern Rajasthan, India

It was way back in 2004 that I first heard about the wild leopards of Bera, Rajasthan. I had been visiting many of India’s best wildlife sanctuaries since 1997 and I had enjoyed plenty of luck when it came to seeing tigers in the wild, but a sighting of the elusive Asian Leopard had eluded me. This in part can be explained by the obvious fact that leopards are very cautious around tigers, so a sighting inside the best tiger parks, such as Ranthambhore or Bandhavgarh would be very lucky indeed. In addition, leopards are much more nocturnal in their behaviour – when compared to tigers – so the reality is you are leaving the national parks, just when leopards are starting to be more active

Walking in the Footsteps of Jim Corbett

There are probably fewer iconic parks in India than Corbett; named after the legendary English hunter – turned photographer and conservationist – Jim Corbett. One of the first national parks in India to be given Project Tiger status and a place with so much wildlife and human history wrapped up in its origins, that a visit here just to hear about Jim Corbett; let alone see the wildlife tigers he helped conserve, is both enriching and fascinating at the same time.

Best Place in India to See Tigers. Top 5 Tiger Reserves in India

Best place in India to see Tigers – Top 5 Tiger Reserves in India. India is blessed to be in a ‘golden period’ of tiger safari tourism; with more and more tiger reserves being run in a more professional manner and the number of tiger sightings increasing year on year. Here at Wildlife Trails we are lovers of all wildlife and like to encourage you to visit some of the Indian national parks which are ‘off the beaten track’.

Tiger and Leopard Safari in India and Sri Lanka – Which Parks to Visit?

Sadly when we first visited Sri Lanka back in 2002, the civil war that had torn the country apart for decades was still very much ongoing and national parks and wildlife sanctuaries in the North of the island were very much off-limits. While travelling around Sri Lanka I spoke directly with naturalists and leopard researchers who told be about the ‘golden days’ of Wilpattu national park; when it was the ‘go to’ place for seeing the biggest leopards in Asia.

Snow Leopard Tour in Ladakh India

It’s minus 20 degrees Celsius outside and I slip on my fleece lined North Face slippers and venture out. I am greeted by a Tolkienesque type scene outside our simple Ladakh homestay. A half-circle of mountains surrounds us and snow envelopes the hill sides like newly washed linen.

India Wildlife Tour – So Much More than Just Tigers

India Wildlife Tour - is a car and your own driver the best way to see India? After enjoying my first tiger safari in Ranthambhore way back in 1997, I can fully understand how this wonderous animal attracts so many people to take an India wildlife holiday.

India Tiger Safari, Ranthambhore – Is This the Best Park for Tigers?

Is Ranthambhore the best place for a tiger safari on your India wildlife holiday? One of the most common questions we get asked here at Wildlife Trails from people planning their India wildlife tour is ‘which is the best tiger sanctuary to visit?’.

My First Ever Tiger Safari in India!

Rewind to January 1997. I was 26 years old. My ‘round the world trip ticket ‘had been paid for, I was flying out to Nepal to attempt the Everest Base Camp Trek before flying on to Thailand to start my Padi diving course on the beautiful Island of Koh Samui; after that Lao, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Bali and a working visa in Australia.

Our Clients Say About Us

We had a 13 day tour to India, mostly wildlife as this was what we wanted and a little element of city & culture. Day in Delhi staying at the Imperial, apart from noisy traffic getting to the el it was an iconic place to be, so much hitory and staff who had been there 30yrs and proud of what they did. then onto 5 days at Ranthambor - 2 incredible Tiger sightings with so many other species, onto Agra and the Taj Mahal and then the Saptura National Park. Great time was taken in the planning, we were given lots of options as to how to make the trip up including time of year and how to maximize wildlife sighting.

Three weeks in India with the fantastic wildlife photographer and teacher, Trai Anfield, concentrating on finding and photographing tiger and leopard, as well as experiencing all the cultural ders of this extraordinary country. The trip exceeded all expectations. We stayed in a wonderful selection of safari lodges, tented camps, forts and palaces, experienced the food and customs of the regions, visited and spent time with the local people and were in Udaipur to celebrate the paint festival, Holi. Out of all the game drives we did over the three weeks, on only two did we return without having seen either tiger or leopard. A truly outstanding experience in every respect, made even more special by the dedication of Trai Anfield to make sure that her clients had the best possible tuition and opportunities to take the photograph of a lifetime. Excellent in every respect. Everything worked perfectly. The booking arrangements, information and assistance before the trip, local guides and local arrangements all worked extremely well and the trip content, compiled in collaboration with Trai Anfield, was outstandingly brilliant.

We have recently returned from a 16-night trip to India, organised by Wildlife Trails. It was a tailored trip, encompassing safari in Kaziranga and Corbett with city breaks in Mumbai, Kolkata and hi to catch some IPL cricket. Essentially we were on a 16-night, 5 centre itinerary, no more than 3 nights in any one location, involving many and varied transfers by road, rail and air. The chaos which characterises India, and is certainly part of its charm, can cause frustration for travellers – unless they are travelling with Wildlife Trails, who have partnered with ground agents in India who have the knack of short-circuiting the chaos and arriving everywhere with comfortable punctuality, every time. A thoroughly professional service, enabling our party of 4 to fully enjoy the wonderful experiences India has to offer. We had dedicated wildlife drivers/guides during our stays at both Kaziranga and Corbett – in both cases they were very friendly, we were very well looked after by them, and they greatly enriched our experience of the wildlife. We were blessed with tiger sightings at both Kaziranga (2 different tigers on 2 different days!) and Corbett – where we close enough to the tiger to consider it an encounter rather than a sighting. And Rhino galore (including being amongst a sizeable herd on elephant safari), and wild elephant galore, and deer, and monkeys, and fabulous birds. Accommodation at both National Parks was very good, as were the meals. During our city breaks we had guided tours of each city. Our guides were all punctual, very knowledgeable and friendly – our experience of all 3 cities was certainly enriched by our guides. The agents and drivers who assisted with our transfers to and from airports and railways stations were unfailingly polite and helpful – we were delivered to our seats on the train in Kolkata and met at the carriage door when we arrived 19 hours later in Delhi. Kirsty from Wildlife Trails worked with us over several iterations of our itinerary – always offering positive suggestions and responding promptly and fully to our questions. Putting the trip together with Wildlife Trail was a pleasure in itself – and I’m very happy and impressed to be able to say that everything went according to plan. We would all four have no hesitation in recommending Wildlife Trails to anyone considering a wildlife adventure in India.

WE had 2 nights in Delhi at Claridges, perfect as always, 3 nights at Kipling Camp,excellent staff, guide, rooms and best of all picnic by the river to bath the beautiful 'Tara' the phant. Went on to Bandhavgargh 'Bandhav Villas' where we have stayed 5 times, treated like Royalty, the rooms have been upgraded, 6* service and most of all 22 Tiger sightings including mother and 3 cubs, wild dogs and other wild life. What else can one ask for? We have used 'Wildlife Trails' now for at least 7 times. They are very knowledgeable, flexible, good listeners as to what you want to do/see, have really become our 'travel friends'. They arranged tours to India, Sri Lanka and Tanzania for us. They have give an excellent service and have good 'local partners' to be there for you.

It was a great itinerary that allowed us to see all the iconic and unique wildlife of India in the company of excellent guides, thoughtful drivers and accommodation hosts. In Gujarat we saw wild , birdlife including migrating bar headed geese, asiatic lions - which are not as easy to see as you might think and need persistence, Black buck, Indian wolf & jungle cat with leopard, tiger and a very fast moving sloth bear in Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. The accomodation was excellent particularly Blackbuck Lodge @ Velavadar and Reni Pani @ Saptura and everywhere had top notch hospitality. Travel was by car, train and plane - travelling in India takes some acclimatisation but the drivers and meet & greet guides were very professional and made it as easy as they could! overall it was a well put together holiday which flowed and allowed us to experience India and Indian wildlife at its best. Very efficient and put together; a well thought through itinerary.

• 01 Wildlife Safari
• 02 Tiger Sighting
• 03 Bird Watching

India is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers, offering a plethora of national parks and tiger reserves. From 1st October to June, India's doors open wide to the world of wildlife tourism. During these months, the country's diverse landscapes - spanning from the chilly northern regions to the warm southern coasts, and from the lush eastern forests to the rugged western terrains - become a hotspot for jungle safaris.

The weather conditions during this period are most favorable for exploring, and every national park and tiger reserve in India is ready to welcome wildlife enthusiasts. It's the perfect time to embark on a journey through India's rich natural heritage, witnessing the majestic beauty that resides within its boundaries.

The majesty and allure of the tiger, India's iconic big cat, have drawn wildlife enthusiasts from around the world for decades. While these magnificent creatures inhabit various national parks and tiger reserves throughout India, the optimal time for sighting them is during the warmer months of April to June. During this period, the scorching heat causes water bodies within the reserves to shrink, prompting tigers to frequently visit the few remaining waterholes. Such predictability increases the chances of spotting them.

The foliage is less dense too, making the orange and black stripes of the tiger stand out amidst the golden-brown landscapes. Parks like Ranthambhore, Bandhavgarh, and Kanha become bustling hubs for photographers and nature lovers during these months. Venturing on a safari during this window not only heightens the chance of a tiger encounter but also immerses visitors in the rich tapestry of Indian wildlife. So, for an unforgettable tiger experience, time your visit to these peak months.

India is a paradise for bird enthusiasts, offering a rich tapestry of avian wonders. For those seeking the ultimate birding experience in India, the months between November and March are the prime season for bird watching. During this period, resident birds display vibrant activities, and migratory species from Central Asia and Europe flock to India, enhancing its allure.

Embarking on a bird-watching tour during these cooler months allows enthusiasts to witness an array of colorful and exotic species in all their splendor. Popular birding sanctuaries in India, such as Keoladeo National Park in Bharatpur, Nal Sarovar Bird Sanctuary, and Sultanpur National Park, become bustling hubs of activity. The serene mornings, accompanied by melodious calls echoing in the crisp air, amplify the bird-watching experience. Plan your visit to capture the avian magic of India at its finest.

Amazing Jungle Safari Experience at Ranthambore National Park

We used Tour My India to visit Ranthambore National Park. Our contact person was Mr Naveen who was very thorough in answering my questions and providing information before and during our tour. Our driver to and from Jaipur was Mr Vikas. Driving in India can be a little wild, so we appreciated his safe driving. Our train out of Jaipur was later in the evening, so Mr Naveen arranged with Mr Vikas to take us to a restaurant for lunch and then be available to take us to the station. We appreciated this extra care attention to what we needed! Although we did not get to see any tigers, we did enjoy our visit to Ranthambore National Park!

Nice experience....

Tour of Do Dham - Yamunotri & Gangotri for 7 days from 10.05.22 to 16.05.22 Overall arrangements were very good. Our Darshan of both Yamunotri & Gangotri was very nice. Hotels arranged were good. Mr. MANAVENDRA of Tour My India coordinated the entire tour very nicely & he was kind enough to meet us personally at Dehradun.

Jammu and Kashmir along with Leh Ladakh

We are Tour My India's repeat customers. We just love to deal with Manvendra and we find him and his suggestions really genuine and trust worthy. We recently toured the entire of J and K along with Leh Ladakh. It is tailor made for our requirements. Manvendra ensured that the vacation stayed with in our budget. There were absolutely no hiccups and we thoroughly enjoyed the trip all along. I will definitely start planning my next trip with Tour My India guided by Manvendra.

India wildlife tours offer many more remarkable sightings—from elephants in Kerala and snow leopards in Ladakh to one-horned rhinos in Assam and Asiatic lions in Gujarat. Top-rated wildlife tours in India featuring tigers include jeep safaris deep into the majestic jungles of Bandhavgarh National Park. Spot awe-inspiring herds of wild elephants (with their delightful babies dutifully trotting along) in Periyar National Park on wildlife safari tours in India. The-less visited Hemis National Park in Ladakh is home to the extremely shy snow leopard, along with animals such as the bharal (blue sheep), Tibetan wolf and brown bear. The biggest draw of the Kaziranga National Park in India’s northeast is the one-horned rhinoceros, but you can also catch Asiatic water buffaloes, elephants, tigers and swamp deer. If you are looking for the best wildlife tours, India offers an exciting range to choose from. Scroll below to find our favorites.

Travel Tips for Wildlife tours in India

• Research before planning a tour to increase the chances of wildlife sightings. For instance, go between March and May to spot the tiger at Ranthambore.
• Be mindful that most parks shut during India’s long monsoon season, but the dates vary from park to park. For example, Bandhavgarh is open for visitors from October 15 to June 30.
• As India is a hot land for much of the year, carry enough water before heading into a jungle during India wildlife tours.
• Wildlife safaris have limited daily slots, so book in advance.

Posted: May 9, 2024 | Last updated: May 9, 2024

--> Day 1 - Welcome to Delhi!

It’s the first day of your Wildlife India Tour ! After your arrival at the Delhi International Airport and on completion of the customs procedures, you will be greeted by our representative, who will deliver all your travel documents and transport you safely and comfortably to your hotel. India’s second-largest city is situated next to Mumbai on the Northern side of the country. It is rich in history and has an abundance of culture and heritage. This city has seen the rise and fall of many Empires and has been rebuilt eight times by those who conquered it. The evidence of the reign of the British, Hindu, and Muslim Empires, remains throughout and can be seen distinctively in the architecture, customs, food, and lifestyles of the people. But, there is new dawn arising as it is gradually evolving as India’s modern capital metropolis. Overnight in Delhi.

--> Day 2 - Guided Tour of Old and New Delhi

Old Delhi is a vibrant and colorful city and is laid out with a network of narrow alleys and tall buildings. Whether you walk or travel through old Delhi on a rickshaw, you will experience the life and hustle bustle that is truly Indian. Visit the bazaars! See the fantastic sights! Hear the Indian beats! Smell the aromas of Old Delhi! While there, we must visit the famous UNESCO World Heritage Site called Red Fort. This fort consists of marble palaces and courtyards, which are encircled by the beautiful marble domed Jama Masjid with its towers, the Meena bazaar, and the Chandni Chowk.

Our next stops will be to two UNESCO World Heritage sites. First, we visit the charming Humayun’s Tomb , which is a perfect representation of early Mughal architecture, with some elements of Persian design. It is thought that this structure was the forerunner to and inspiration of the Taj Mahal design. Then we will visit the massive Qutab Minar “the most beautiful example of its class known anywhere” described Victorian historian James Ferguson. It is indeed a magnificent victory tower that was built as a memorial of Qutb-ud-Din’s defeat of the Turks back in 1236 and it can be seen from miles away.

New Delhi really is a stark contrast to Old Delhi , it is a city of extensive boulevards and is well known for its official parks, impressive Parliament Building, the Rashtrapati Bhawan (the official residence of the President) and the India Gate , which was built to memorialize the 90,000 soldiers of the former British Indian Army who died fighting for the Indian Empire in the Afghan Wars and World War 1.

We will take a guided shopping tour of Delhi in the afternoon and browse through the posh Khan Market, which is frequented mainly by expats and well-off Indians. This market is rated as the 21st most expensive retail high street in the world. Visit the Meherchand Market not far away and shop for your Indian weaves, designer leather bags, organic spices and a variety of other products. Stop at the ancient historic village of Hauz Khas which has been transformed into a sophisticated village with antique shops, art and designer stores. Overnight in Delhi.

--> Day 3 - From Delhi to Jaipur (260 Km, 5 Hours), Half-Day Guided Tour of Jaipur

After your fill of a hearty breakfast, we will travel to Jaipur , a place of kings, queens, and legends and the opening to the lively, marvelous state of Rajasthan. Jaipur was established in 1727 by Maharaja Jai Singh II, a mighty warrior, and astronomer. It is also known as the “ Pink City ” with its pink sandstone architecture that adds to its uniqueness and color. It is also distinguished by its palaces with intricately carved designs, forts, Havelis and fantastic bazaars.

Transfer to the hotel after arrival.

Vibrant colorful bazaars and delicious cuisine! That’s what Jaipur is famous for and you will want to take in as much of the action as you can. So after a short rest at the hotel, we head to the old pink city for a guided and exciting tour of the famous bazaars.

It will be a quick ride to MI Road where we will have lunch at Natraj . You can take your pick from the delicious dishes on the menu, with a wide variety of Indian, Chinese and Continental favorites. Don’t be shy, try out some different meals like thali, which is a large plate with small amounts of a variety of curries and Indian breads. After lunch we head to none other than Lassiwala a little further at #312 and with the sign “since 1944”. It is here that you will be treated to a delightful yogurt drink in an earthenware cup. Simply Delicious!

Enjoy lunch and take a stroll over to the Tripolia Bazaar on the West. Located on a narrow street with shop after shop lining its edges you will find a wide selection of traditional Rajasthan-style bangles, necklaces and other jewelry. It’s a good time and place to do some bargaining. Not far away we take a walk south to the Johari Bazaar or Jewel Market, taking in all the city’s sights and sounds. Here you will find shopping for everyone, tourists and locals alike: saris, scarves and well-known Jaipur jewelry. A note to the wise however; before buying large quantities, do some research first. We then make a right turn towards the Bapu Bazaar which sells mainly housewares and accessories. Check out the mirror-work, draperies, bedspreads, and other linens and if you wish, get your arm or hands designed by a skillful henna (mehendi) artist on the side of the road.

Our day will end at the Nahargarh Fort , also called Tiger Fort , which was constructed in 1734 by Jai Singh as a security bolster for Amer Fort. On the North and overlooking the city from the edge of the ridge this fort is a sight to behold in the night, as the floodlit walls bounce off yellow, orange and white reflections, illuminating the night skies. To reach the fort you travel on a winding path 8 km through the hills from Jaipur. When you get to the top drink a well -deserved cold beer and cast your eyes over Jaipur’s splendid view beneath. Awesome! Overnight in Jaipur.

--> Day 4 - Morning Guided Tour of Jaipur, Afternoon Drive to Ranthambhore National Park (165 Km, 3-4 hours)

We make our way to the magnificent Amber Fort after breakfast. It has been given its place among the Six Hill Forts of Rajasthan that have been chosen as UNESCO World Heritage sites. It will be an adventure touring this fort from the beginning to the end. You have an option if you want, to hop on an elephant’s back to make your way there or perhaps you prefer more modern transportation by jeep. Whichever way you choose, it will be worth it. Eleven kilometers from Jaipur you will have the privilege of seeing a fantastic exhibition of Rajput architecture that is an excellent representation of the old capital during the Kachhawah Empire. Maharaja Raja Man Singh started the first palace while MaharajaSawai Jai Singh later finished it. Be amazed at the old fortress with a maze of vast walls and beautiful marble towers standing in the midst, carved and brightened by the numerous small mirrors that glimmer playfully. Inside the palace there are The Diwan-e-Aam, or Public Hall, the Diwan-e-Khas, or the Private Hall and the Sukh Niwas, the perfect spot to feel the refreshing air that emanates from the water channels in the summer. Admire the famous Sheesh Mahal or “Hall of Mirrors” in the Jai Mandir or the “Temple of Victory”, then check out the queens’ private rooms from which they could watch what was happening around them in privacy.

We head back into the Pink City for a tour of the Hawa Mahal or Palace of the Winds. This pink building with a pink sandstone exterior was erected for the royal ladies to be able to watch the parades and the events on the streets below without anyone noticing them. We will walk around the corner and enter this magnificent building. The interior is a beautiful display of small chambers and stained-glass windows, along with a stunning view over Jaipur city.

The next stop will be the City Palace . This museum is massive and is well-loved for its exhibits of royal clothing, palanquins, and carpets. It shows off an impressive fusion of traditional Rajasthani and Mughal architecture. There is also a special room set for the ancient armory and miniature paintings depicting battles and court scenes. As you walk further on the inside, you will see the Chandra Mahal which is still a royal residence and because of this, there is a restriction on visitation. Nevertheless, you will still enjoy a walk around this spectacular seven-story building. You will browse around the courtyard known as the Pitam Niwas Chowk with four doors including the, especially beautiful peacock door. Next to that is another one of India’s outstanding UNESCO World Heritage Sites called Jantar Mantar . This is India’s best kept of the five solar observatories all named Jantar Mantars across Northern India. You will be astounded by these 14 huge and ancient astronomical instruments, which despite being built in the 18th century by Maharajah Jai Singh II are still able to foretell when an eclipse will occur, tell time accurately up to 2 seconds and measure distances amongst other things. Just Incredible!

When lunch is over, we take the eagerly awaited drive to Ranthambhore National Park , to begin our Tiger searching adventure! Ranthambore is an exceptionally charming place resting between the Vindhyan Plateau and the Aravali Hills in Rajasthan’s eastern section, which was the ancient hunting place for Jaipur’s Maharajas. Set in an area of 1334 square km, the original idea of Jaipur’s leaders was to preserve this area for nature. In 1955 Ranthambore was transformed into a Safari reserve and became one of India’s first protected areas even though it only became an official National Park in 1984. In 1972 with the introduction of the “Project Tiger” it became one of the first reserves to host tigers. You will find the environs to be very pleasing. The park gets most of its water from the Banas in the North and the Chambal River in the South and has an amazingly beautiful landscape, including six man-made streams and lakes that are always filled with water.

Upon arrival in Ranthambhore, Transfer to your Jungle Lodge on the outskirts of the national park. Overnight in Ranthambhore.

--> Day 5-6 - Morning and Afternoon game drives in the Ranthambore National Park!

It’s early in the morning and time to sip on your welcome cup of tea or coffee, delivered straight to your door at dawn. Slip-on enough clothes to keep you warm and get ready for the tiger safari. The sun rises and at the entrance you will be accompanied by a Forest Department guide (mandatory). His role is to help you spot the tiger and the other wildlife in the park, ensure your safety and make sure the rules are kept. Note that there are times when only shared jeeps are allowed to enter the Ranthambore National Park, in an effort to control vehicular traffic.

This park is home to an abundance of mammals and birds. There are numerous Spotted Deer (Chital) and Sambar Deer (Swamp Deer) who feed way out in the lakes and sometimes you can only see their heads. Look out for Common Langurs, Nilgai (the largest of India’s antelopes), Mugger (Crocodiles) in the lakes and Monitor Lizards on the shores and a fantastic array of birds including peafowls in the lakes, Bronze-winged and Pheasant-tailed Jacanas and the Cotton Pygmy Geese. Chances are we will come across a Sloth Bear, Leopard, or maybe a Chinkara Antelope (or Indian Gazelle). So even if we do not get a view of a tiger on this safari it would still have been an unforgettable morning.

All good things must come to an end and so we complete our tour in the park, we go back to the hotel for breakfast and then make our way to the impressive fort of Ranthambore (you can visit Ranthambore Fort on any of the two days stay in Ranthambore). It is located on a cliff some 65 meters high and offers spectacular views of the landscape over the Sawai Man Singh Sanctuary and is also a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Late in the afternoon we can go back to the park by jeep and stay there until sunset. Our journey back is lit by oil lamps and before having a much-needed sleep, we enjoy dinner and have some stories and drinks around the campfire. Overnight in Ranthambhore.

--> Day 7 - From Ranthambore to Agra, Enroute visit Keoladeo National Park

On Day seven we have breakfast then take a long five-hour drive to Agra known for being the home of the glorious Taj Mahal. As we make our way there, we stop off at Keoladeo Ghana National Park  a UNESCO World Heritage Natural Site. Keoladeo National Park at Bharatpur, in Rajasthan, is a bird watcher’s paradise and is accepted as one of Asia’s most outstanding vast wetland reserves and was initially created for duck shooting. The connecting shallow swamps in the Park, which are constantly refilled by monsoon rains throughout the summer, become a sanctuary for thousands of migratory birds during the winter months. Our exploration of this 29km park will be on foot and also by bicycle rickshaw. You have also an option of doing a Boat safari in Keoladeo National Park (subject to enough water). You will be excited to see the over 150 species of birds that inhabit this park: the Ruddy-breasted Crake, White-tailed Eagle, Sarus Crane to Small Minivet, and water birds like the Black-necked and Painted Storks, Cotton Pygmy-goose, Intermediate Egret, Black Cormorants, and Darter. Then there are also the rare Ferruginous and Red-crested Pochards and Greater Painted-snipe.

But the park is not only about birds because it also houses a wide variety of wild animals including the hard to find Fishing Cat. This park is one of the few places where this animal is known to be. Also keep your eyes out for the Sambar (swamp deer) and Spotted Deer, Nilgai (blue bull), Asiatic Jackal, Wild Boar, and two species of mongoose.

When we arrive in Agra in the afternoon we transfer to the hotel and after a short rest we make our way to take in the breathtaking “Love Poem in Marble” the Taj Mahal at sunset. Probably the most photographed monument in the world, the Taj Mahal will not disappoint. Indeed it’s the world’s wonder of wonders with unsurpassed beauty. It is an extraordinary tribute of endless love from Moghul Emperor Shah Jahan to his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal who died during childbirth. Perfectly proportioned and exhibiting the highest quality of marble with mosaic work done with semi-precious stones, the Taj Mahal showcases the outstanding abilities of the 20,0000 artisans from countries like Turkey, France, Persia and Italy who labored for some 17 years to build it.

Spend the night at a hotel in Agra

--> Day 8 - Train from Agra to Jhansi, Car drive from Jhansi to Khajuraho, Enroute visit the medieval charming town of Orchha

Enjoy breakfast early this morning and proceed to the Agra railway station to travel in air-condition chair-class on the superfast Shatabdi Express train to Jhansi, departing at 08:00 hours and arriving at 10:00 hours. We will then drive for four hours to Khajuraho.

Along the way we will stop in Orchha , a tiny ancient town on the Betwa riverbanks. Here you will find 16th-century temples and thousands of devotees and tourists in the tranquil countryside environment. Immerse yourself in the serenity and natural settings of this village.

Then we visit the Jehangir Mahal , a Hindu-Islamic designed memorial dedicated to the visit of Mughal Emperor Jehangir to Orchha. Not too far away is the Raj Mahal , replete with a wealth of lively murals depicting both secular and religious themes that enliven the walls and ceilings. The Raj Parveen Mahal palace is a wonderful two-storey building constructed to match the height of the trees in the gardens of Anand Mahal and devoted to the love of Raja Indramani.

In Orchha we will enjoy a delicious lunch and then drive to Khajuraho , Central India’s temple city. It consists of a significant number of temples carved with precision and erotic 10th-century sculptures that were erected by the Chandela Dynasty over a period of 100 years. After the Afghan invasion the creators of the temples fled, and they were left in the jungles untouched for centuries. It was only after a British officer on a hunting expedition stumbled upon them in 1838 that they were restored. Although only twenty-five of the eighty-five temples remain, it is believed that some of the best temple architecture anywhere in the world can be found here. Khajuraho remains an important religious center and equals centers like Bhubaneswar (Orissa) and Aihole (Karnataka). It is no secret that the carvings on these temples dedicated to a variety of deities are highly sensual and erotic. For that reason it has become a major attraction.

Transfer to the Hotel after arrival! Overnight in Khajuraho

--> Day 9 - Visit of Khajuraho Temples, Drive to Bandhavgarh National Park (275 Km, 5-6 hours drive)

Today we will visit Khajuraho’s Western Group of Temples , which consists of the impressive Lakshmana Temple, one of the best-kept temples of the group and is dedicated to Vishnu. A must-see is the Shiva temple of Kandariya-Mahadev dated back to the 11th century, an outstanding illustration of the brilliance of the ancient Chandela architects. It is some 31m high and has almost 1000 statues decorating the walls of the temple’s interior and exterior. Further into the inner sanctuary is the fertility symbol of Shiva which is the phallus or stone lingam. One of the main attractions of this temple is the erotic and sensual sculptures exhibiting passion, emotion, and sexual fervor. Apart from the deities immortalized in stone there is a wealth of sensuous and erotic sculptures with an exquisite depiction of human life and emotions, equating passion with a spiritual union. The sculptures are considered to be the most perfect figures achieved in stone which depict gods, goddesses, and amorous couples.

It takes two to three hours to visit the temples of Khajuraho, after which we leave for Bandhavgarh National Park . On the way we take lunch.

Upon arrival, transfer to the Hotel. Overnight in Jungle Lodge in Bandhavgarh.

--> Day 10-11 - Bandhavgarh National Park – Morning and Afternoon Game Drives

Bandhavgarh National Park, Madhya Pradesh  is one of the most beautiful in India and carries the name of the tallest hill in the park (807m), where the Bandhavgarh fort is located. Visitors are offered much more than amazing wildlife as there is also history, temples, incredible hermit caves carved by hand, 10th-century shrines all snuggled within sal trees (Shorea robusta) and forests irrigated by springs and streams, along with precipitous rugged hills and valleys. Because of the terrain and the fact that the park’s roads cut across the forests, your chances of spotting the tigers in Bandhavgarh are increased.

With a core area of 105 km² (and a buffer zone of approximately 400 km²), this is the smallest of the three parks in the region – the others being Kanha and Pench – but it has one of the highest concentrations of tigers in India and is quite popular as a result.

Bandhavgarh National Park is a natural environment that is unblemished and an excellent home for its wildlife inhabitants, which include of course, the tigers. But there are other fascinating animals like the Sloth Bear, Gaur (Indian Bison), Leopard, Wild Boar, Porcupine and of course the Spotted Deer and Chinkara (Indian Gazelle). There is also an abundance of other animals like the Golden Jackal, Rhesus Macaques, Gray Langur (Semnopithecus), Striped Hyena, Small Indian Civet and the Jungle Cat. Not forgetting such beautiful birds as the Rock Pigeon, Long-Billed Vultures, Plum-Headed Parakeet, and the Orange-Headed Thrush.

It’s such a wonderful location that we will spend two full days at the Bandhavgarh National Park. You will have the very best guides and environmentalists on tour with you and when you spot the tigers you have enough time to track their movements. There will be a burst of excitement at your first sighting; perhaps it will be when they are playing, sleeping, hunting or drinking. Cherish this awesome moment! Don’t leave the park without climbing up to the Bandhavgarh Fort, a trek well worth it for the astonishing view of the beautiful countryside below, atop one of India’s oldest forts.

Please Note: On all of our tours we make every effort to provide three game drives through Tala gate (Premium Zone) and two game drives through Magdhi & Khatoli gate (Normal Zone)

--> Day 12 - Morning Jeep Safari in Bandhavgarh, Drive to Kanha Tiger Reserve – fabulous road trip along its picturesque countryside

This morning we continue our tiger safari India, as we go on another game drive hoping for another sighting of the majestic and powerful tiger.

Go back to the Jungle Lodge for breakfast.

Continue the day with a drive to the Kanha Tiger Reserve some five hours away. As we travel along this route from Bandhavgarh to Kanha you will encounter lovely landscapes and a kaleidoscope of nature’s colors that will thrill your total being. Beds of beautiful yellow flowers intermingled with emerald, green hills, fields with pink and purple flowers all blending nicely to create spectacular picture-perfect scenes. As you drive along the well-paved roads you will be charmed by the goings-on in the villages, as the people of this region go about their everyday lives; men working in their fields, children on bicycles, women in their beautiful saris carrying out their daily chores. The small homes are made of mud and tiled roofs amidst the peaceful lakes and rivers.

Kanha Tiger Reserve situated in Madhya Pradesh in the heart of Central India is the largest tiger reserve in the country and one of the best parks for tiger sightings. It is believed that it inspired the writings of Kipling’s Jungle Book.

It spans area of 1945 sq. km. including a core area of 940 sq km. Kanha offers an amazing panoramic view: rivers and valleys, precipitous cliffs, hilltop forests and bamboo, thick low lying forest of sal trees that are forever green and rising and falling grasslands. Adding to this awesome environment are some 200 species of birds like the Crested Serpent Eagle, Peafowl, Grey Hornbill and the Hawk Eagle.

This reserve also houses some 22 species of mammals, the only four-horned ungulate in the world the Chausingha (four-horned antelope), Tigers, Gaur (Indian Bison) and the Barasingha (Rucervus duvaucelii branderi) known as the Swamp Deer), which was almost extinct until recently, when the numbers were increased from a mere 66 to 550 by June 2015.

It is very likely that you will also get a glimpse of a sloth bear or leopard.

At the Kanha Reserve the most often seen animals are the Jackal, Wild Boar, Langur, Swamp Deer (Cervus unicolor), Sambhar Deer (Cervus duvauceli) and Chital (Axis Axis) more popularly known as the Spotted Deer which lets you know when there is a tiger somewhere close. Drive through the Jungle – listen to the warning calls – exciting.

The first scientific study on tigers was started by the well-known zoologist George Schaller and there is the possibility that the grasslands maybe extended to encourage the increase in habitat. This is being done under the “hard ground” project. If implemented there will be a displacement of the surrounding villages.

We stay at the jungle lodge on the outskirts of the Kanha Tiger Reserve and that’s where we go after arrival.

Spend the Night in Kanha.

Please Note: Our itinerary in Kanha includes five Exclusive game drives and we always make every effort to ensure that there are three drives for Kanha Zone (Premium) and two drives for Kisli, Sarahi and Mukki zones.

--> Day 13-14 - Kanha Tiger Reserve– Tiger safari India-Morning and Afternoon Game Drives

Rise early! Expect an adventure! You will have two full days to enjoy and explore the Kanha National Park, a fantastic space with great looking tigers. We journey there before sunrise, looking to increase our chances of seeing a tiger. Surreal is the simplest way to describe the feeling of being in such a natural environment, with the most refreshing atmosphere and gorgeous landscapes of sal and other trees and every shade of green mixed with the orange-red flowers of the butea gum trees. Added to that there are several species of beautiful, colorful wildlife in all shapes and sizes. It would be no surprise if this is what inspired Henry David Thoreau, the famous American philosopher to pen the classics Walden and The Maine Woods. As you set out to explore this vast national park, make sure you put on the right clothing to keep you warm; it can be quite cold early in the morning.

For the next few hours, you can take a little rest, eat some lunch, watch the birds, freshen up or trek around the camp’s environs by foot.

Later in the afternoon you get the opportunity to go back to the park until sunset by jeep. Oil lamps will light our way home. If you are not too tired you can have a nice chat about the day’s events around the campfire before dinner and then get some sleep.

Don’t miss the chance while you stay in Kanha to take a cycle ride and visit the nearby villages and browse the local market, discovering more about Kanha and its surrounding areas.

Overnight in Kanha Tiger Reserve.

--> DAY 15 - Drive from Kanha to Jabalpur (155 Km, 3 hours), Fly to New Delhi

It’s the morning of our final day on our India Tiger tour and we will make our last expedition of this magnificent park searching for these large orange striped cats. Then we will drive to Jabalpur and fly back to Delhi.

After you arrive in Delhi you can either head to the airport and go to your next destination or spend the night in Delhi!

Reviews Box

Rajasthan tour with national parks.

**This review was written in German and has been translated using Google Translator

We decided to book the round trip on VacationIndia.com because the website was very appealing and also showed flexibility. Rajasthan with the Rambathore National Park seemed tempting, but we wanted more nature. Vikas has added another national park (Bandavagarh) to the trip. The total of 8 game drives in the two national parks were great and we saw some tigers and even leopards. The whole trip was very well organized. Everything always worked out on time, even with the two domestic flights. We had a good comfortable car, very safe drivers and competent, very friendly guides in all cities. We would especially like to mention Imran in Agra. On the way, clean restaurants with delicious lunches were always approached. The selected hotels have all convinced us, especially in terms of ambience and location. Vikas was always personally c oncerned and kept asking via Whats App if everything was working. We would like to thank him very much for the dinner in Agra, where we ate great and had a lot of fun.

The train journey from Jainsi to Agra was also very interesting and the train journey from Phulad to Kamlighat was very impressive. Looking back, we can only say: it was so exciting, instructive and varied. Yes, we thoroughly enjoyed every day.

It was the first trip to India but certainly not the last, because the large country inspires with all its cultural and natural treasures.

REVIEWS FROM OUR CLIENTS

This was my first trip to India and I cannot imagine a better introduction. Because of the care with which the trip had been planned and organized, I was able to relax, enjoy, and try to fully absorb the experience without spending even a moment concerned about the quotidian details of the trip. What a luxury.

One of the best trips my husband and I have taken—a feast for the senses and the intellect. Fabulous temples, beautiful countryside. I especially appreciated our many glimpses into village life, religious practices, and traditions.

Hashmat’s enthusiasm for his country is infectious, his enjoyment of people unending, and his work and efficiency unbelievable. I’m looking forward to another trip with him.

WOW! This was an extraordinary trip. It was meticulously planned, but allowed for many spontaneous interactions and delightful surprises. Another WT success story.

Our Trip Leader shared his enthusiasm for the history and beauty, was sensitive to the needs of each individual, and had an unfailing sense of humor along with tremendous knowledge. It was a splendid experience all around. I did not want to come home!

This was possibly the best trip I have ever taken, which is saying a lot, since we have been pretty much everywhere.

A wonderful trip! So much more than a chance to catch a photo of a snow leopard or tiger, this was the rare opportunity to really learn about these two cats, their environments, and the ongoing conservation efforts being made to save them.

The trip operation was seamless for the guests. The trip leader and the assistant leader, as well as all the ground staff, made this trip easy to navigate, understand, and enjoy, making it a highly successful experience.

Community & Conservation

Our trips directly donate to TOFTigers, supporting better tourism practices and working to improve the ecological and economic sustainability of the parks in India. Money goes towards various environmental and community projects.
