Tour Overview
This 12-day wildlife expedition takes you through three of India's premier national parks, starting with Tadoba and its impressive tiger population, followed by the enchanting forests of Pench that inspired Kipling's "The Jungle Book." The journey culminates in Kaziranga, home to the rare one-horned rhinos and wild elephants. With 15 dedicated safaris spread across these parks, you'll have excellent opportunities to spot and photograph diverse wildlife including leopards, wild dogs, sloth bears, and over 210 species of birds. The tour combines morning and evening game drives to maximize wildlife sightings, with comfortable stays near each park and guidance from expert naturalists who know these forests intimately.
- You'll get fantastic opportunities to spot Royal Bengal Tigers at both Tadoba and Pench National Parks. These parks maintain healthy populations of tigers, increasing your chances of memorable encounters.
- Kaziranga National Park offers stunning views of one-horned rhinos and elephants in vast grasslands, making sightings easy.
- Leopards, wild dogs hunting in packs, sloth bears foraging, and bison grazing are commonly spotted in these parks.
- Bird enthusiasts will be delighted by the Indian Pitta, kingfishers, and the vibrant Indian Roller, as the parks echo with bird songs during morning safaris.
