Itinerary
Fly to Delhi
Delhi: A Gateway to Adventure
Upon arrival in Delhi, you will be met by one of our representatives and transferred to The Imperial, a large modern hotel conveniently located close to Delhi’s international airport. Time here is free to spend how you wish, whether it be relaxing by the hotel's swimming pool, enjoying the extensive range of dining options or an afternoon tour of Delhi can also be arranged if you wish.
Accommodation: The Imperial ( 1 night )
Bandhavgarh National Park: Into the Tiger’s Realm
The following morning, you will be transferred back to the airport in time to catch a flight to Jabalpur. From Jabalpur, it is a fascinating drive through Indian towns, village and countryside as you embark on a four hour drive to the Treehouse Hideaway, your accommodation for the next three nights. Located at the edge of Bandhavgarh National Park, the property’s five spacious treehouses attractively combine traditional jungle living and contemporary design, providing a wonderful base for exploring Bandhavgarh. Over the next two days you will enjoy daily morning and afternoon game drives accompanied by expert naturalists from the Treehouse. Each drive is different as you explore this vast park with your naturalist. Whether its birds, deer, sloth bears, birds, monkeys or tigers you will have an expert with you who can teach you the best way to recognise alarm calls, how to track the Tigers and point out to you the myriad of wildlife in this amazing park.
Accommodation: Treehouse Hideaway ( 3 nights )
Kanha National Park: Serenity in the Wilderness
From the Treehouse Hideaway it is approximately a six hour drive to Shergarh, a comfortable tented camp on the edge of Kanha National Park. As you pass through towns and villages you will glimpse rural life from the roadside barber to ladies buying fruit and vegetables at the local markets. Passing houses and farms you will witness the daily life of rural India from bathing the buffalo and women collecting water and carrying it home to their houses.
On arrival at Shergarh you will have time to relax before dinner and an early night ready for your early morning game drive. Your days will be spent on morning and afternoon game drives as you explore Kanha’s winding tracks and majestic forests looking for the tiger, leopards and perhaps even the elusive jungle cat. Returning back to Shergarh you can relax and take walks around the property which is a haven for birds and butterflies. The private water reserve at the heart of the property is the perfect place to relax and spot birds as well as to enjoy nature walks or even curl up with a good book before your next drive.
Pench National Park: Under the Stars
On leaving Kanha National Park you will be driven approximately three hours to Pench Tiger Reserve, to the luxury tented camp of Jamtara. There is no better base for exploring Pench Tiger Reserve with the chance to enjoy a comfortable night’s sleep outside under the stars. Waking to the sound of the birds, monkeys and even the odd alarm call is exciting and makes this a very special place to stay. As well as daily game drives you will have the opportunity to explore the local village of Jamtara, gaining a fascinating insight into rural village life. Evenings spent around a blazing log fire comparing wildlife and sharing pictures is the perfect way to end the day.
Accommodation: Jamtara Wilderness Camp ( 3 nights )
Satpura National Park: India’s Hidden Jewel
From Pench it is about a five hour drive to Reni Pani Jungle Lodge in Satpura National Park, one of India’s best kept secrets. Satpura might not be the best national park for spotting tigers, but it is virtually free of tourists and boasts a stunning landscape of narrow ravines, densely forested hills, rugged sandstone peaks and the vast waters of the Tawa Reservoir. It is a wonderful place to explore and so different from some of the larger parks which can be crowded with jeeps. While here you can take the opportunity to explore the reservoir by boat or canoe which is a peaceful way to spot wildlife and birds and even explore the park by foot with your naturalist, This is the ideal end to your vacation and a chance to spend a few relaxing days in this unique park.
Accommodation: Reni Pani Jungle Lodge ( 3 nights )
