Description
On this tour, we travel through the heartland of Wild India, and through the state of Madhya Pradesh. This tour is ideal for those who want to spend their time being out in the Indian jungles tracking Tigers and viewing wildlife. It has a combination of Tiger safaris, bird walks, and game drives with visits to villages around the Tiger reserve to get a glimpse of the life of people living next door to the Tigers.

The itinerary is linked to our conservation initiative. Guests get a chance to plant a forest tree of their choice as a part of our conservation effort.

An important part of the itinerary is learning interactions with wildlife experts and an interactive visit to the reforestation project to learn about Tiger habitat and issues related to conservation in wildlife areas.
We begin our journey to Kanha. It is one of the best places in the world in which to search for this majestic big cat. Our base for the three-night stay will be a very nice wildlife lodge.

Kanha Tiger Reserve is spread over 1,945 square kilometers and is one of the largest reserves in India. On a plateau in the Maikal range of hills, it has broad undulating grasslands with bamboo and Sal forest. Small pools, and a perennial lake, provide essential drinking holes for the animals. The reserve is famous for its Swamp Deer, for whose protection Kanha National Park was first established in 1955, but since the launch of 'Project Tiger in the early 1970s, Kanha has been one of the Project's key Tiger Reserves. Besides Tigers, we can also see Sambar, Spotted and Swamp Deer, Gaur, Wild Boar, Common Langur, Asiatic Jackal, Leopard, and Dhole.

Bandhavgarh is our next destination. Getting there will take us 4.5 hrs of driving through the Vindhyan Hills, with lovely views of the fields and villages of Madhya Pradesh. You get to see a glimpse of typical central Indian Flora, Vistas, Architecture, and Way of Living. It is a perfect start to the adventure ahead. With beautiful grasslands, views of the forest, and the Bandhavgarh Fort in the distance, serenity will seep into you. Be prepared to have a fabulous stay as they go out of their way to make your stay the most memorable. Special romantic dinners, traditional massages, and yoga sessions are also an option at this resort.
Bandhavgarh is uniquely famous as a forest offering nearly 100 percent tiger sightings. The density of the tiger population at Bandhavgarh is one of the highest known in India. Along with the majestic tigers, one can hope to see more than 22 species of mammals and 250 species of birds.

In the park, you can taste the real adventure of a jungle safari. The excitement begins to build up as we take you to the core of the forest and you begin to hear and spot the animals and birds. You can also choose to explore birdlife in the forests, fort, or adjoining areas like the Bhadrashilla Lake, Gadhpuri Dam, and Bhambhera Dam which are ideal for birding. A trip to the ancient temple ruins at the 2000-year-old Bandhavgarh Fort is also a great option. You can either explore it in a jeep or follow the steep trekking path on foot with our trained local guides. Along with thrilling safaris, for those interested, we can also arrange a village visit or cultural performance of local tribal dance. Also recommended is a visit to the Baghel Museum which houses precious belongings including a stuffed White Tiger of the Maharaja of Rewa who maintained Bandhavgarh as his game reserve.
