Tour Overview
This tour brings together two of India's most rewarding travel experiences. Spend time in the forests of Kanha and Bandhavgarh National Parks, where tiger safaris take you through sal woodlands, open meadows, and river valleys rich with wildlife. Alongside tigers, you may encounter leopards, wild dogs, gaurs, barasingha, sloth bears, and a wide variety of birds.
The journey also explores India's famous Golden Triangle of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. Visit remarkable landmarks such as the Taj Mahal, Fatehpur Sikri, and Humayun's Tomb while discovering the history, architecture, and culture of northern India. With expert naturalists, comfortable accommodations, and carefully planned travel, this tour offers an excellent balance of wildlife, heritage, and photography opportunities.
- Explore Kanha and Bandhavgarh National Parks, known for their thriving tiger populations.
- Spot a diverse array of wildlife, including leopards, wild dogs, golden jackals, gaurs, barasingha, sloth bears, and nilgai.
- Experience exceptional hospitality and knowledgeable guidance from expert naturalists.
- Marvel at the magnificent monuments and architectural wonders of Agra, Jaipur, and Delhi, such as the Taj Mahal, Fatehpur Sikri, and Humayun's Tomb.

Agra
Uttar Pradesh
Agra Fort's red sandstone by afternoon, the Taj Mahal at first light - the single most travelled sightline in the country, and still worth the crowds. Fatehpur Sikri on the way out, a Mughal capital abandoned to its own ambition.

Sal forest and bamboo thicket at the largest scale of the four central reserves - shared between the tiger and the hard-ground barasingha, found in the wild nowhere else on earth.

A cliffside fort of uncertain age overlooks the Tala and Magadhi valleys - some of the highest tiger density recorded anywhere in India, and the trip's closing chapter.
