Delhi - Bandhavgarh National

Park - Kanha National Park Pench National Park - Satpura
National Park - Delhi
The Royal Bengal Tiger is one of
Indias prized possessions and this
tour gives you ample opportunity
to spot this oft-elusive beauty. It is
said that at any other park, you
are lucky if you can spot a tiger
but at Bandhavgarh National
Park, you are unlucky if you do
not spot a tiger! Nonetheless, if
the tigers of Bandhavgarh arent
feeling too social, you can still try
your hand at spotting them at the
other parks. Besides the tiger, one
can spot large populations of
barasingha, gaur, nilgai and
chital. A tiger lovers favourite
tour!

Flameback, and the stunning Indian peafowl. Move

hills of Nainital where more than 200 bird species
reside, and Okhla Bird Sanctuary where we will look
for the Striated Babbler and the Red Avadavat
among other species.

Green Pigeon at Tingtibi. Conclude your birding tour
around the passes of Wangdue and Paro. This tour also
ensures that you do not miss out on Bhutans beautiful
