India entices people from all over the planet for its diverse culture and rich heritage like the unexplainably beautiful Taj Mahal. However, nature enthusiasts are particularly drawn to this country as they get to see rare creatures like the Bengal Tiger. In fact, with 75% of the world's Tiger population, India stands as the only promising ground to glimpse this enigmatic species in the wild.
The Taj with Tiger Tracks tour combines both the prospects, heritage and wildlife of India, in a single trip. Witness the imposing ivory-white marble mausoleum, Taj Mahal, with tiger safaris in four of India's most spectacular National Parks. This expertly crafted tour creates the metamorphoses of heritage into wilderness that uplifts the spirit but soothes the soul.
The four forest reserves included in this tour are located in the wildlife-rich regions of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra: Bandhavgarh National Park, Kanha National Park, Pench National Park, and Tadoba National Park. Together, they make this wilderness journey an ideal choice for observing Indian wildlife.
Bandhavgarh National Park offers the highest density of tigers and well-maintained infrastructure. Kanha, the largest national park in Madhya Pradesh, is known for its thriving population of the elegant but endangered Barasinghas. Pench National Park, with its peaceful atmosphere, evokes the setting of Rudyard Kipling's 'The Jungle Book'. While each reserve has a significant tiger population, Tadoba is particularly the most popular national park for spotting tigers in the wild due to its deciduous vegetation that provides greater visibility.
Throughout this 15-day tiger safari tour package, one gets the taste of the diverse wilderness and vibrant animal life that India has to offer.
