Nature and wildlife viewing is an enthralling soul lifting experience instilling a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment. India is bestowed with a remarkable geography, climate and vegetation which sustained innumerable wild flora and fauna and above all the Majestic King of the Jungle, the Indian Tiger. This tour lets you rediscover the pristine and natural settings of Bandhavgarh, Kanha and Ranthambore National Parks, each with a distinct character and ecosystem, to see India&39s magnificent natural fauna. Ever since the population explosion of the 1920s in the Indian Subcontinent and the ensuing encroachment of the human settlements in the natural habitats of the wonderful animals including the tiger, led to them to be pushed to the brink of extinction. The fall in tiger numbers and the loss of the great herds of Black buck that used to roam the northern plains until some decades ago, moved the government to promote conservation and the establishment of Project Tiger in 1973. Away from the tiger parks the itinerary will include sightseeing in Delhi, a comprehensive tour of Agra and of course the Taj Mahal, one of the world&39s most iconic buildings.
This is an exciting trip for the first timers and seasoned travelers with an interest in India and wildlife eager to see the tiger in its natural environment.

What to expect?
There are some long days traveling, especially when taking the overnight trains and when driving from park to park, this is generally down to the condition of the roads. The roads are generally pretty good, but local traffic and/or road damage after the monsoon can sometimes slow us down. We travel mainly on comparatively quiet roads for at least half of the journey. The tour is not overly demanding, but some of the days can be busy, where traveling is combined with sightseeing and there are a lot of early mornings.
