The best National parks for tiger spotting in India are Corbett, Kanha, Ranthambore, Pench, Bandhavgarh, and Tadoba National Park. These national parks serve as the home to most tigers in India. These are considered one of the best habitats in India for tigers.

So, you have a higher probability of spotting Bengal tigers here. Keeping that in mind, our tiger tours mainly cover these parks.

Tigers are ambiguous animals who are masters in the ‘art of camouflage’. It is very difficult to find them in dense forests, especially in intemperate weather conditions. So, we have designed our itineraries as such to increase your chances to spot tigers by capitalizing on the best places to find tigers especially, during the hot and dry season. We take pride in stating that most of our groups have had the privilege to spot a tiger during their safari.

Apart from Tigers, you can easily spot some other prominent wild animals in Indian National parks such as Asiatic lions, Asiatic elephants, Indian Rhino, Hillock Gibbon, Leopards, Snow Leopard, Indian wild dogs, etc.

Indian wildlife heritage also includes a wide range of different bird species with around 1344 different species. To name a few among them are the Great Indian Hornbill, the Golden eagle, Mrs Gould’s Sunbird, Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher, Himalayan Monal, etc.

We have designed our wildlife and bird watching tours that give an opportunity to every traveler to spot the maximum wild animals and birds during their visit. And our experienced travel guide helps you attain the maximum fun and knowledge out of your visit.

The essentials to pack for an Indian wildlife tour would be:

• A good camera,
• Extra batteries,
• One pair of binoculars and a birding guide book.
• Clothing

From Nov to Feb: Since it is the winter’s season in India, and it gets really cold, especially in North India, it is recommended that you dress in two to three layers of clothing.

From April to June: It is the summer season in India. And the temperatures can be downright hot. So, you should carry very lightweight clothes, a sun hat and sunglasses. Wearing long-sleeved shirts during wildlife safari drives can protect you from the sun.

• Rains should always be considered as a possibility, no matter what season it is. Bringing a good waterproof rain gear would be a smart choice. Carry a lightweight, waterproof rain jacket and pants with you in case of sudden extreme weather conditions. Being comfortable is the key to enjoy the most in the safari, so many guests also prefer to wearing long underwear for morning drives in our open vehicles.

India has a captivating culture and prodigious architecture with fascinating wildlife. So, you visit India and don’t travel to this part then you are missing out a lot. If you can fit in the safari with the cultural then you must do it. India is a very busy and vivacious country with a lot to explore and travel. It has incredible historical forts, palaces and cities.

It is nearly impossible to mention all the cultural highlights; although visiting the Red Fort, the Taj Mahal, or the Ganges Ghats is going to make up for your India Tiger Safari. In case you want to add on with a cultural belief, you need to keep in mind that people have a lot of religious beliefs and prospects.

Remember to take off your shoes and keep your head covered while entering temples and other sacred places. And in some places only allow the entry of people with certain beliefs. Be careful and always do your research before visiting. Another important thing to remember is that the Taj Mahal remains shut on a Friday and there are several museums that are closed on Mondays.

Usually, you are not allowed to stay inside the National Parks. But Corbett is an exception. There are several government rest houses inside Corbett which are very basic and probably can be called a ‘place to sleep’ than something lavish and luxurious. Many private lodges are situated on national park’s edges.

Although the accommodations vary based on where you go and what you want to see. The camps and safari lodges surrounding the National Parks like Bandhavgarh and Kanha consists of a wide range of luxury lodges and tents. In other areas like Gir in Sasan, which is the last home to the Asiatic lions, the accommodation is more basic and comfortable.
