welcome, friendly face and a restful space seem

heaven-sent. Make your way to your hotel; if you

A varied menu of experiences including spinning

taste of the true urban spirit of Delhi along

with its political prowess, a morning tour

would be both picturesque and memorable

for you.

Day 3/4

Panna National Park, first wildlife highlight

of your journey

Leave the hustle bustle of Delhi, fly into

Khajuraho and whisk away towards the wilds of

Panna and settle for next 2 days amidst

unspoiled countryside, on the banks of Ken

River.

Fall for Jungle charm with the game drives to

witness the abundance of incredible wildlife. The

Park's rock ridges and uninterrupted valleys are

the favored home of the sloth bear, while the

wooded areas are dotted with sambar, the largest

of the Indian deer, chital and chowsingha.

Additionally, we recommend a visit to the World

Heritage site of the temples of Khajuraho.

Besides jungle drives; taking river safaris to

watch the birds roosting and taking flight at

the deep gorge, fishing on the pristine Ken

River, walking leisurely through the crop

fields to the surrounding countryside and

catching the luminosity of sunset with a

refreshing sundowner are some of the

interesting things to do in here.

Day 5/6

Drive 150 miles to India’s top tiger

playgrounds; Bandhavgarh National Park

There’s one main reason to beat around the bush

in Bandhavgarh: Tigers. The densities of the big

cat are among the highest on the subcontinent,

early morning and evening trips claim healthy

successful rates.

The park’s wild rocky hills, rich deciduous

woodlands, wetlands and meadows where cats

mingle freely pose a perfect scope for bagging a

delightful wildlife experience.

For those craving for further adventure,

consider experiencing the night life of the

jungle. From listening carefully to the growls

and shouts of the jungle natives, and the

twinkling of their eyes, to the sounds of their

movements; all of this under a starry sky with

moon glowing overhead is sure to give you

goose bumps for a lifetime.

If you’re a passionate bird viewer, then this park

won’t disappoint your passion and rather leave

you lost in thousands of their chirps.

Day 7/8

Culture, wilderness and lots of adventure

into the jungles of Kanha.

It’s time to head to India’s largest national park,

Kanha for an epic jungle experience.

Wind your way on the forest grounds along the

sounds of crackling dry leaves, with cameras

ready and hearts pounding, watch out for the

animals as they might quite suddenly appear

from behind the bush like a jack-in-the-box,

panting in the morning sun. Track the pug and

paw marks, look out for birds flashing around,

learn about the trees of the forests or simply

enjoy the surrounds of the jungles with the

naturalist who promises to infuse a sense of

hooo

connection and excitement in every fauna and flora

that you see during the drive. In addition to game

drives into the park, you can bird watch, take a nature

walk, or photograph the wildlife coming to drink at

the waterhole. A simple joy lies in exploring the local

villages and their traditional architecture and

colourful markets.

A highly recommended activity is walking with

Tara, the much loved elephant, through the

forest to the nearby stream. This is a truly

beautiful interaction with this magnificent, an

animal. Here, along with Tara’s mahout one can

participate in scrubbing her down while she lies

in the water. Be prepared to get wet as she likes

to include all in fun and frolic in the water.

Day 9

Onward to Pench National Park.

Morning is free for your own exploration.

Midday, set forth on a journey into the untamed

wilderness of Pench; an experience where the

hosts, the staff, the naturalists, the friendly

villagers and even nature come together in a

prefect commune to give you an offering that is

nothing but a joyous solace.

This dry deciduous forest is one of the most

visually fascinating and calming forest in Central

India; perfect campgrounds for your campfire

camaraderie, storytelling and sleeping under the

stars. If you’re hankering to jungle walk, bird

watch or bike around to explore the wilderness,

ask the naturalist who followed by your interest

and inclinations can plan the next safari routes,

jungle or nature walk and other equally

interesting activities.

In addition to the park safaris which are a

staple of most of the wildlife lodges, the star

bed is a special experience here, it stands

isolated from the rest of the camp; above the

ground, and ringed by wild scenery, a

complete sensory immersion on your safari

adventure.

Day 10/11

Known for being India’s only park for

walking safaris, Satpura National Park is

next up on your road trip.

If you think seeing the big 5 meant you’d done it

all, you’re wrong. There’s a host of other

fascinating wildlife experiences awaiting in this

park of Satpura.

The sheer diversity of mammals, the presence of

myriad bird species, many species of butterflies

and the absolute luxury to explore this 1,500

square km expanse of wildlife habitat in so many

ways including jeep safaris, jungle walk, elephant

safaris and boat safaris.

A nature walk within the Satpura Tiger

Reserve is an experience unique to this park.

The feeling of being in the jungle with no

separation between wildlife and you is truly

exciting. Equally interesting and fulfilling

are the walks for birders and butterfly

enthusiasts who can go off path and halt

anytime for viewing the bird and butterfly life

in the reserve. But if you prefer exploring

with your eyes than your feet, canoeing is an

absolute favorite to take it all in as well.

Day 12

Onward to Bhopal airport to catch flight

towards Delhi

It’s time to return to Delhi to connect with your

onward destination. You now have 12 days of

exciting memories to take away with you.
