Adventure Tours - India Wildlife Travel Packages

At The Kanha Tiger Reserve, the local rangers say: “For every tiger that you see, five see you”. A telling comment on the stealth of this beautiful animal- the undisputed lord of the Indian jungle. A lord so majestic and fascinating that its quiet tread along a forest path is enough to inspire awe, and even terror in humans and animals alike. And the lord’s domain stretches across the length and breadth of India- extending over everything from grasslands to rain forests, and over subjects as varied as nilgai and barking deer, blackbuck and langur.

So pack your bags, slap on the mosquito repellent, and get ready to meet the lord of the jungle- face to face. The experience is one which is guaranteed to stay with you long after you’re back home.

National Parks and Sanctuaries India

Corbett National Park

Founded in 1935 by the British, Corbett National Park is the oldest national park in India. One of two tiger reserves in Uttar Pradesh, this breathtaking park rests along the Ramganga river and clutches the Himalayan foothills. Though it is most famous for the tigers it harbors, it is also an excellent place to see elephant and is home to an enormous variety of bird species.

Ranthambhore National Park

If you've had no luck with tigers in India, chances are, you never went to Ranthambhore. Not only is tiger activity in the park quite high, their intrepid nature (true to their Rajput environment) has made Ranthambhore the best park in which to photograph them.

Bandhavgarh National Park

One of the India's best parks, Bandhavgarh is located in Madhya Pradesh in an area which once inspired the setting for Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book. Bandhavgarh is one of the best places to see tiger--at one time, before the park was enlarged, it had the highest density of tigers anywhere. The park also holds panthers, and an abundance of bird species flit through the rainforest.

Kaziranga Wildlife Sanctuary

The Kaziranga first came into being in 1908, when the local one-horned rhinoceros was so depleted by big game hunters that the animals were thought to be near extinction. Depradation is still a threat, as the rhinos are still poached for their much fetishized horns. Thanks to preservation efforts, there are now almost 900 rhino roaming the park, which rests on the banks of the Brahmaputra river in the eastern triangle state of Assam.

Kanha National Park

One of the most prized parks in India and Asia, Kanha became one of the early success stories of Project Tiger when it brought about a significant boost in the local population. In addition to increasing its tiger population, the park was also able to bring back the Central Indian swamp deer.

Bharatpur Keoladeo Ghana National Park

Situated in a swampy region of Rajasthan, Keoladeo Ghana is a wetland of avian wonders. During monsoons, much of its twenty-nine square kilometers flood, providing a home to India's largest native population of waterfowl. Beginning in October, flocks of migratory birds arrive from all over Asia, some of them coming from as far away as Siberia to escape the frigid northern winter.

Angling in India

Though fishing has been a huge industry in India for centuries, angling or sportfishing became a serious pastime only in the mid-19th century. British anglers of the Raj came in pursuit of the Trout and Salmon but found a creature that far surpassed other fish as a fighter - the Mahseer or The Large Headed One. It spawned an entire clan of adventurers (including the legendary Jim Corbett), who would travel to far-flung areas of the country just to battle with the mighty Mahseer.

Birding companies India

Of the 8650 species of birds in the world, India is home to as many as 1200 (roughly 14%), out of which 141 are endemic to this region. What’s even more astonishing is that of the 27 Orders and 155 Families that bird life has been classified into, India has 20 Orders and 77 Families.

The reason for this richness of species is the region's highly varied climate, the associated diversity of vegetation as well as its wide altitudinal range, which extends from sea level to the Himalayas.

Thar Desert & Elephant and Camel Safaris

Powerful Rapjut princes once ruled this desert region, which no foreign invader was ever able to dominate. The natural adversary of the environment provided the adaptable Rapjut with their best defense, though they supplemented it by building magnificent fortress palaces on the wind-blown sands. The desert ruins of the Rapjut can still be visited, as can the Thar's remote temples, village oases, and hyponotic, swirling sands.

The Thar is best experienced by camel safaris, which leave from Khuri village. There are day treks that leave in the morning and return at night, or arrangements can be made for longer trips. Because of the immensity and harshness of the desert, all those who voyage into it are required by law to have a guide.

India Wilife Safari

Allen cut his teeth on the joys of game tracking in India, where a face-to-face encounter with a tiger set the course for his career. India's wildlife is amazing for its beauty and diversity: elephants, monkeys, and rhinos live alongside tigers, bears, and an astounding variety of deer and birds. Allen's itinerary includes India's three most prolific wildlife sanctuaries: Ranthambore, a famous tiger sanctuary set in a wonderland of forest-clad Rajput ruins; Kaziranga, whose jungles in the foothills of the Himalaya host herds of wild elephants, Indian rhinos, and acrobatic gibbons; and Kanha National Park, which resembles Africa with savannas crowded with herds of deer and an abundance of predators - leopard, dhole (India's "wild dog"), jackal, and tiger.
Your chances of seeing tigers on this trip are excellent since this is the best time of year for wildlife viewing. You'll also see the birds of Bharatpur, plus the splendors of Jaipur, Agra, and the Taj Mahal. A five-day extension adds the holy city of Benares and the sculpted temples of Khajuraho.
