Tour Overview

This unique wildlife tour takes you from the lush floodplains of Kaziranga to the misty Himalayan forests of Singalila, offering a rare chance to witness India’s most iconic and elusive species. In Kaziranga, jeep safaris bring you up close to one-horned rhinos, wild elephants, swamp deer, and rich birdlife. Then, shift gears as you head to the cool, high-altitude trails of Singalila National Park, where Red Pandas silently move through mossy bamboo forests and vibrant Himalayan birds light up the trees. Perfect for nature lovers, birders, and wildlife photographers, this journey combines two of India’s most biodiverse habitats in one seamless adventure.

  • Track the elusive Red Panda in Singalila’s mist-laced forests, guided by expert trackers through bamboo thickets and mossy Himalayan trails.
  • Spot one-horned rhinos and wild elephants roaming Kaziranga’s lush grasslands, offering excellent chances for close and memorable encounters.
  • Walk quiet mountain trails in Singalila, scanning for red pandas, satyr tragopans, and colorful Himalayan birds hidden in the canopy.
  • Enjoy stunning views of Kangchenjunga and the Eastern Himalayas, a breathtaking backdrop to early morning wildlife tracking sessions.
