Tour Overview
Northeast India holds some of the most important wildlife habitat on the continent. This 7 day tour moves through Manas and Kaziranga, two UNESCO World Heritage Sites known for dense wildlife and strong photographic conditions. Manas sits along the Bhutan border, its riverbed trails and sal forest home to tigers, wild elephants, golden langurs, and a strong bird population, covered over three days across different routes and habitats.
Kaziranga follows, home to two thirds of the world's one horned rhinos, its open grassland and wetlands giving strong sighting rates and clean light for photography, covered across two zones over two full days of safaris. Both parks run on open jeep safaris, with varied terrain and genuine wildlife density at every turn.
- Two UNESCO World Heritage Sites in one focused tour
- One-Horned Rhino photography in Kaziranga's open grasslands
- Riverbed and forest safari routes in Manas
- Wild Elephant sightings across both parks
- Golden Langur and rare bird species in Manas
- Multiple zones covered at Kaziranga for varied sightings
- Photography-focused open jeep safaris throughout
- Strong wildlife density with tigers, rhinos, and elephants in one trip
