An overview of your route
Central India is home to some of the world's finest tiger habitats and offers exceptional opportunities for wildlife viewing. This 12-day Central India Wildlife Tour takes you deep into the forests and grasslands of Madhya Pradesh, India's premier wildlife destination, where Bengal tigers, leopards, sloth bears, wild dogs, deer, and hundreds of bird species thrive. Central India is particularly famous for renowned tiger reserves such as Bandhavgarh and Kanha, which are among the best places in the country to experience wildlife safaris.
Your journey begins in Delhi before heading to the wildlife-rich landscapes of Central India. Bandhavgarh National Park is known for its high density of Bengal tigers and offers some of the best tiger sighting opportunities in India. The park's ancient fort, dense forests, and open meadows create a spectacular backdrop for wildlife encounters.
