Three national parks experience on the best of India tiger tours
India’s points of interest are vast. Age-old monuments, diversified ethnic cultures, vibrant religious life with amazing pilgrimage sites abound. Most tourists arrive to sample the diversity of India inherent in its beautiful temples, fairs and festivals, its decorative arts and assortment of landscapes from Himalayas to Thar Desert, Ganges plain, canals of Kerala and jungles of south.
Unquestionably one of India’s most exclusive attractions are its national parks harboring the vanishing population of tigers and Asiatic lion. India tiger tours appear to lure most visitors. Ranthambore National Park gets the most arrivals as it is part of a typical tour of Rajasthan, essentially the most favored destination among first-time India guests.
If wildlife safari, photographing wildlife and birds is on your list of priorities then you must look at adding two more parks your India wildlife parks tour. Those two parks that will be simply added to Ranthambore are Bandhavgarh and Kanha National Parks. The perfect itinerary to see these three parks would look as follows:
Day 1 Arrive in Delhi
Day 2 Take a train from Delhi to Sawai Madhopur, a smaller town and also a gateway to the Ranthambore National Park. That afternoon you are able to already pay a visit to in the wildlife park sanctuary.
Day 3 Full day at Ranthambore with two safaris, one in the morning and one in the late afternoon.
Day 4 In the morning depart by train for Bharatpur to check out Keoladeo Ghana wildlife sanctuary. This can be a different park worth visiting as it lies en route for the other two parks.
Day 5 Of course being in this region of India only tends to make sense that you drop in to admire the legendary Taj Mahal in Agra, and also the fortress of Fatehpur Sikri.
Day 6 See Taj at sunrise, an excellent experience, then board an overnight train for Umaria.
Day 7 Upon arrival at Umaria we take you to Bandhavgarh national park where in the late afternoon you can do your very first wildlife safari.
Day 8 As in Ranthambore, you are going to have two safaris, morning and late afternoon, to tour Bandhavgarh NP.
Day 9 Time to leave Bandhavgarh and continue to Kanha national park by road to commence your aftyernoon safari as the heat of the day recedes.
Day 10 As within the other parks, two safaris are the staple system at Kanha on this day.
Day 11 You could stay an additional day at Kanha and do two extra safaris. Kanha has probably the most tigers of the three parks, said to number close to one hundred, and many visitors favor the opportunity for an added day hoping to take pleasure in another encounter with the evasive tiger.
Day 12 Time to leave Kanha; first drive to Jabalpur railway station and from there continue by train to Delhi; this is an overnight train ride.
Day 13 Arrive in Delhi, transfer to airport for the departure from India or continue to your subsequent destination on your India tour.
Remember, these are the parks you can easily visit on a two week tour of India. There are great parks in the north, north-east and south of India, but visiting those will require an itinerary that will focus just on those respective areas.
