Trip Overview: 

There are few places in Asia where such a wide variety of wildlife can be found in such abundance. This India tour is a superb opportunity to combine sightseeing to some of the must-see sights of north India, such as Old Delhi, the Taj Mahal and Khajuraho’s erotic temples, with an in-depth exploration of central India’s premier national parks. There are 11 included safari outings to search for the unique wildlife imaginatively captured by authors such as Jim Corbett and Rudyard Kipling and you'll also have the chance to opt to do up to two more! Each park has differing ecosystems and topography and it is this variety that enables species such as monkey, leopard, deer, elephant, antelope, bear, squirrel, crocodile and countless species of birds to thrive. Of course, it is the mighty Bengal tiger that symbolises India’s wildlife heritage. Whilst it is impossible to guarantee a sighting, given the time devoted to wildlife viewing in parks famous for their tiger populations, the chances are high on our marvellous India tours.
