![]() ![]() Bandhavgarh National Park This former game reserve has become one of India's most prominent national parks due its high density of tigers which roam the mixed forests of sal and bamboo in search of an easy kill. The thick forest sits in a bowl encircled by cliffs and the wooded Vindhyan mountains. It harbors a multitude of game, from Rhesus macaques, jungle cats, hyenas to nilgai, blackbuck, chausingha, chital, chinkara, wild boar and sometimes a fox or jackal. The birdlife is terrific and under the watchful eye of our skilled experts you will be able to walk in the jungle and can expect to see blue bearded bee-eaters and blossom headed parakeets. Bandhavgarth Fort, at 1,000 ft. above the park, offers a stunning backdrop. Built in the 14th century, the ancient ruins depict the romance of faded palace grandeur and temples remain untouched. Scattered throughout the park are archaeological remains of the Kalchin period and numerous prehistoric caves. Kanha Wildlife Park One of India's most spectacular and exciting parks. Kanha provided the inspiration for Rudyard Kipling's “Jungle Book.” The park is situated in the Mandla district of Madhya Pradesh. It is one of the best places to see tigers and its mix of river valleys and steep rocky escarpments make for breathtaking vistas. The mixed forests of sal and bamboo provide good breeding grounds for approximately 200 different species of birds, as well as 22 mammal species. Herbivores include chital, sambar, gaur and blue bull- jackal, leopard, hyena, dhole and of course the tiger feed on these prey species. Kaziranga National Park Located on the banks of the mighty Brahmaputra River in the heart of Assam, this park is one of the last areas in eastern India undisturbed by human presence. It is inhabited by the world's largest population of one-horned rhinoceroses, as well as many mammals, including tigers, elephants, panthers and bears, and thousands of birds. A birding paradise - the number of raptors, for example that can be seen on safari is remarkable. The vast open country makes the park very accessible and provides a chance to see animals in the wild at close quarters. A variety of excursions are offered - nature treks through the Panbari Forest Reserve in search of the hoolock Gibbon (the only ape in India) or through lush coffee and rubber plantations of the nearby Karbi as well as visits to the Karbi people and the tea gardens of Assam.
