Experience vibrant India through its rich cultural heritage, ancient religion, breathtaking wildlife, and natural beauty. On this 19-day Premium adventure, you’ll safari through four of India's best wildlife parks, including Satpura, Ranthambhore, and Panna – as well as one of the most popular national parks for spotting the royal Bengal – Bandhavgarh Tiger Sanctuary. Discover the Pink City of Jaipur, witness the Mughal splendours of Delhi and Agra, soak up the ambience of holy Varanasi on a sunrise cruise, and see why Keoladeo Bird Sanctuary is renowned as one of the world's best places for birdwatching. Your local leader will bring the magic of India to light, from lavish palaces to vibrant bazaars and the incomparable Taj Mahal. Packed with wildlife hotspots and hidden gems, discover the natural and cultural wonders of India.
  • Embark on a rickshaw safari through the bird sanctuary of Keoladeo, take an evening boat and night safari in Satpura National Park and search for the elusive royal Bengal tiger on jeep safaris through Ranthambore, Bandhavgarh and Panna National Parks.
  • Explore the architectural marvels of North India, including Jaipur's Amber Fort and Royal City Palace, Agra's Red Fort, and the iconic Taj Mahal.
  • Search for nocturnal animals such as leopards, jungle cats, fruit bats, flying squirrels and flying foxes under the stars, during your night safari in Satpura National Park with a local, naturalist guide.
  • Spend two elegant evenings at your Feature Stay hotel in Jaipur. The heritage hotel has been in the same family since its opening in 1928 and offers opulent details and warm, friendly service.
  • Take part in Exclusive Experiences to remember – visit to a royal haveli in Jaipur and hear the stories of its owner’s ancestors, and cruise down the Ganges at sunset accompanied by local musicians.
  • The style of accommodation indicated in the day-to-day itinerary is a guideline only and may change. On some occasions, alternative arrangements may need to be made due to the lack of availability of rooms in our preferred accommodation. In these cases, we will use a similar standard of accommodation.
  • Throughout the trip, we request that our properties prepare rooms in time for our arrival, especially if we're arriving prior to normal check-in time. However, this isn't always possible which means we won't be able to check-in immediately on arrival at some hotels. Instead, we can store our luggage and explore our new destination or on some trips, have use of shared day rooms until all rooms are available.
  • ACCOMMODATION
  • The hotel accommodation on this trip is in air-conditioned rooms. Some areas of India experience daily load shedding. This is where the power may be turned off at certain times of the day and usually occurs for a few hours in the early afternoon. Most hotel properties have a restaurant or cafe serving local meals. Many restaurants and hotels do not serve alcohol for religious reasons or due to local laws.
  • SHOWERS:
  • Showers at some hotels only have hot water at peak times (usually morning and evening). Outside of these times, you may need to speak to reception to obtain hot water.
  • WIFI:
  • Generally, WiFi is available in most parts of India and at most of the accommodation we use. Sometimes it's free in the room, other times only available in reception or public areas. A general rule of thumb is the more expensive the hotel, the higher charge for WiFi access. Your group leader or local representative can assist locally in accessing the internet.
  • ISSUES:
  • If you have any issues with your room, please speak to the hotel and your group leader or local representativer right away rather than your travel agent so that the problem can be addressed without delay.
