09 Days Tigers of Central India

Tiger population in India has reached to 2967 in 2018 from 1411 in 2006. Now India is home to 70% of the world’s Tiger population and this is perhaps the best time for Tiger tourism. The Tiger sighting was never as good as it’s now. Our Tigers of Central India tour is specially designed for wildlife enthusiasts and Tiger lovers. If its tigers you’re looking for, then perhaps Bandhavgarh, Kanha & Pench Parks are some of the best National Parks in the country you must visit. Indian National Parks offer visitors nature at its rustic best and an enticing variety of flora and fauna. The jungles and hills of Central India provide a stunning backdrop to this journey back to childhood. These rich landscapes provided the inspiration for the stories of the ‘man cub’, Mowgli and the fearsome Sher Khan, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi and Toomai of the Elephants. Here, amongst some of the largest and most pristine national parks in India, you’ll follow in the footsteps of Rudyard Kipling and Baloo, as you search out the elusive and majestic Royal Bengal tiger.
