Highlights of Indian Wildlife Tour with Taj Mahal

India is one of the best wildlife destinations in the world due to its diverse flora and fauna. Around 50% of the world's wild tigers roar in Indian National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries. India also boasts as the last home for Asiatic Lions. Not only this, the reserves here have healthy populations of Wild Elephants and highly endangered One-Horn Rhinos.
These are the prominent wild animals residing in the protected forests, however the jungles also have mammals, antelopes, reptiles and many more species. Due to its varied topography, India has numerous bird sanctuaries where migratory as well domestic birds reside turning into bliss for bird lovers. The authorities have come up with various ways to explore Indian Jungles such as jeep safari, trekking, boat rides, rickshaw ride etc.

In this trip, we have combined three most popular tiger reserves of India located in the Central part of the country and one in Rajasthan. Kanha National Park of Madhya Pradesh is considered as one of the most beautiful jungles in India having huge variety of wildlife.

Whereas Bandhavgarh has more tiger density in the forest thus offers excellent opportunities for Big Cat sighting. Ranthambhore is a semi-desert park of Rajasthan and has a great place for wildlife photography. The dull background of the reserve turns out to be the best to catch the Royal Bengal Tiger in the frame.

We have specifically designed this trip from April 05 onward because this is the best month for the tiger safaris when the parks offer maximum possibilities of tiger sighting. At the beginning of April, when the water bodies get dry inside the park therefore the animals come out from the core areas to drink the water near to the safari tracks where the big water bodies are located. The skies are often clear blue in this time of the year therefore the ideal time to explore the Indian Jungles.

As India is known for its monument of love - Taj Mahal, hence to enhance the experience of the trip we have included it with tiger safari. Taj Mahal is one of the best UNESCO World Heritage Sites and Seven Wonders of the World. The architecture of this 17th-century Mughal monument has impressed the travelers from around the world. This trip is a special combination of Taj and the Tiger as April is probably the coolest month in summer when you can experience the Taj Mahal at its best during both sunset and sunrise.
