Introduction: This trip not only offers an authentic insight into the great cultural and religious lifestyles of India, but is also a combination of temples, palaces, architecture and of course wildlife. We venture into the heart of Kipling country and visit two of India’s most famous wildlife reserves in search of tigers, the most majestic of all animals.
The tour starts in the bustling capital of Delhi, and then visits the beautiful city of Jaipur known as the Pink City, where we explore the Amber and City Palaces. We then head to India’s premier wildlife reserve, Ranthabore National Park for game drives to spot tigers and other wildlife, before journeying to Agra with its Mughal architecture and the beautiful white marbled Taj Mahal. We take in Gwalior, the capital of the Scindia Dynasty, the beautiful town of Orchha and the erotic temples and sculptures of Khajuraho. Bandhavgarh Park is our next venue for tiger spotting, before travelling to the holy city of Varanasi on the River Ganges, our final stop before returning to Delhi.
