Arrive Jabalpur take a short transfer journey to Bandhavgarh where we check into our 5* Lodge.

Please note this trip starts in Jabalpur and we will advise which flights are available Delhi to Jabalpur which are very easy to connect onto.

Day 1-8 we will be up early for our Safaris in Bandhavgarh Tiger park where we will be looking for and photographing Tigers, Leopards, Sloth Bears, Jeckels, Wild Dogs and many other species plus some of the best and most colorful bird life India has to offer. These incredible parts of the jungle and its scenery are inspiring and make you feel at one with the nature they hold. Early in the morning we see the relieved deer who have lived another night, look for tracks where Tigers and Sloth bears have traveled overnight and then set about tracking where we may find them for the best chance of taking special images of the life they lead.

We will take a picnic style breakfast, home made samosas, fruits and cakes plus can buy Masala Chai Jungle style and Pakora in the beautiful landscape before returning to the lodge around midday where you can take a break, swim, spa or rest before lunch is prepared from 1pm. Approx 3.15pm we will leave for our 2nd safari of the day until approx 7.30pm when we will return in time to shower and prepare for dinner.

We will continue this routine daily and on our last day we will take a trip to Katni,  a bustling city for the overnight first class train to Jaipur where we will arrive mid morning and tranfer to our once Royal Palace hotel. From here you can take in the City Palace, Amber Fort, Street Markets, early morning flower markets, Street food and restaurants in this great pink city guided by our very experienced Anu with over 30 years of guiding the culture of India. Early mornings and evenings we will be in the mountains surrounding Jaipur filming Leopards, Striped Hyena, Desert Fox and again many more birds and mammals and you will be amazed at the closeness they live to the city as well as having the luxury of returning to our hotel for breakfast. Lunch can be taken out or a favorite is street samosas by the pool and dinner in the evening we show you some incredible local restaurants serving a variety of local food.
