Tour Highlights:
- A night in India’s vibrant capital, Delhi.
- India’s most famous monument, The Taj Mahal.
- Bhopal, with some of the best museums in the country and a surprising historic past!
- Satpura, known for its sloth bear and leopard population.
- The beautiful park of Kanha, great for all wildlife with a healthy tiger population.

Taj and tigers but with a difference! This is one of our favourite itineraries as it takes in the iconic Taj Mahal, a must for first time visitors but then introduces you to the surprising city of Bhopal which has a fascinating and unique history as well as some of the best museums in the country. Then we head to the National Parks of Madhya Pradesh, the relatively unknown Satpura National Park, the only park where walking safaris are possible as well as boating safaris and canoe rides. This combines with Kanha and Pench two parks which should give you plenty of opportunity to spot the tiger, leopard, bears and wild dog! Quite an adventure.
