Places Ranthambhore, Bandhavgarh, Kanha, Bharatpur
Season: November till June.
Highlights : The two central Indian parks of Bandhavgarh and Kanha, along with the well-known Ranthambhore tiger reserve in Rajasthan, offer you the best opportunity to view and photograph tigers. The duration of time spent in each park has been planned so as to maximize your chances of game viewing. Game drives in open jeeps along with elephant-back rides in Kanha and Bandhavgarh help track tigers and other game.

At Ranthambhore, see the spectacular 1000-year-old fort and the scattered ruins of mosques, temples and palaces. In its lakes, which serve as vital sources of water, you see Sambar and Marsh Crocodiles basking on the banks. We may also come across Sloth Bear, the handsome Caracal, Chinkara and Blackbuck in nearby villages. Bandhavgarh, famous the world over for its high tiger density, also offers other species like Jungle Cat, Muntjac and the only four-horned antelope in the world, the Chausingha. The rocky crags below Bandhavgarh fort may reveal Leopard and birds like Malabar Pied Hornbill and Peregrine Falcon.

2. Desert Ship Cruise!
Duration: 16 Days / 15 Nights
Places Desert National Park, Gajner Wildlife Sanctuary, Jodhpur, Bikaner, Jaisalmer

Highlights : The Camel Safari through the vast Thar Desert of Rajasthan unveils its celebrated forts, old havelis and the colourful mix of royal heritage and desert nomadic cultures. Surrounded by magical sand dunes, this vast desert wilderness is home to some of the most endangered species in India including the handsome spiral-horned Blackbuck, elegant Chinkara gazelles, Striped Hyena and the rare Indian Wolf.

Birdwatching on camel back is very rewarding as birds allow camels to get at close quarters, giving you unprecedented access.

At Gajner, mornings and evenings are excellent to sight the Imperial Sandgrouse
