Highlights
These highlights have been specially picked for this themed itinerary:
Keoladeo National Park
This manmade wetlands, established 250 years ago, has become one of the world’s richest bird areas. Also a World Heritage Site, the vast mix of habitats, including grasslands and woodland swamps, attracts thousands of bird species, especially during the migration when they drop by to breed and spend the winter.
Gir Forest National Park
The sole home of the endangered Asiatic lions, Gir Forest National Park is one of the most important protected areas in the whole of Asia. Once a hunting ground, where the lions were hunted to the verge of extinction, it was declared protected in 1900 by the Maharaja – there are now around 523 lions living here.
Pench National Park
Located in an area where it is said that Rudyard Kipling’s ‘The Jungle Book’ was set, Pench National Park has been a tiger reserve since 1992. There are around 40 Bengal Tigers in the park but it is also rich in other wildlife including sloth bears, leopards, antelope and barking deer.
Tadoba National Park
One of India’s ‘Project Tiger’ parks, Taboda has about 80 resident big cats and is still relatively off-the-beaten-track, with much lower visitor numbers than reserves such as Ranthambore. The tigers roam through a habitat of cliffs, marshes and lakes and it is said that you have a reasonably high chance of seeing at least one.
