Day 03 : In Pench National Park
While meals and an overnight stay are planned at the resort, morning and afternoon jeep tiger safaris to the Pench National Park are planned. This tropical wet deciduous forest in Southern India covers 758 sq km and is mixed with tropical dry deciduous teak. A multitude of streams and “nallahs,” the most of which are seasonal, crisscross the area.
Despite the Pench River drying up at the end of April, there are a number of watering holes for wild animals, known locally as “dohs.” During the water shortage, the Pench Reservoir in the park’s middle is the sole significant water source. Due to the large concentration of prey along the Pench River, the watering holes are the greatest places to see tigers. Here is where tigers typically search for prey. Although they occasionally appear in the deep forest, leopards mostly function in the outskirts.
Cheetal and Sambar are frequently spotted grazing in Pench in open areas along roadsides, the banks of rivers, and reservoirs. Anywhere throughout the Park, jackals might be seen in quest of food. Wild dog packs of up to 15 or more have been spotted close to the Reserve’s Chhedia, Jamtara, Bodanala, and Pyorthadi sections.
In the summer, gaur herds are frequently seen by streams and bamboo groves. The rocky sections are home to sloth bears, who love the mahul bel-infested woodland. In extremely small numbers, chinkaras are also seen in open spaces.
Day 04 : Pench–Kanha (210 km/4-5 hour drive)
A morning jeep tiger safari takes you to the Pench national park from where you can drive to Kanha national park in 4-5 hours. On arrival at the park, tourists can check into the resort where you can enjoy dinner and an overnight stay at the resort in Kanha.
Day 05 - 07 : In Kanha National Park
At 0500 hours, get up, have tea or coffee and some cookies, and then head to the national park for the morning safari. 940 sq. km of Kanha’s sal and bamboo woods, undulating grasslands, and meandering streams make up the core of the Kanha Tiger Reserve, which was established in 1974 as part of Project Tiger.
The park is the sole place where the rare hardground Barasingha may be found (Cervus Duvauceli Branderi). This is the actual Kipling nation that he eloquently described in The Jungle Book. A set location is where the lodge’s packed breakfast is served, spread out on the safari vehicle’s bonnet. Enjoy your breakfast in Kanha National Park’s untamed surroundings. If you haven’t already, keep looking for the elusive Tiger while taking in the clean, stimulating environment. Arrive at the hotel/lodge from tiger safari at 11:30. Have lunch, spend time at leisure and get ready for the afternoon safari. After the tiger safari, get back to the hotel by six o’clock. Eat dinner there and spend the night.

Day 09 - 11 : In Bandhavgarh National Park
In the morning and the afternoon, visitors are taken on jeep tiger safaris across the national park. The strong tiger population in the Bandhavgarh National Park is its most notable feature. The renowned White Tigers of Rewa were first uncovered here. Leopards, Blue Bulls, Indian Gaur (Bison), Chausingha (Four Horned Antelopes), Spotted Deers, Sambar Deers, Exotic Boar, Sloth Bears, Fox, Jackals, Wild Dogs, and others are among the park’s numerous wild attractions. The park is home to 250 different bird species and at least 22 different mammal species. The Ratel, Porcupine, Small Indian Civet, Palm Squirrel, Lesser Bandicoot rat, Jungle Cat, and timid Hyenas are some of the other animals that may be seen in Bandhavgarh.
Morning and afternoon jeep safaris take visitors to the national park. The abundance of tigers in the Bandhavgarh National Park is its main draw. This is where the renowned White Tigers of Rewa were found. Other wild animals that can be seen in the park include leopards, blue bulls, Indian gaur (bison), chausingha (four-horned antelopes), spotted deer, sambar deer, wild boar, sloth bears, fox, jackals, and wild dogs, among others. The park contains at least 22 different kinds of mammals and 250 different kinds of birds. Other creatures spotted in Bandhavgarh are the shy Hyenas, Ratel, Porcupine, Small Indian Civet, Palm Squirrel, Lesser Bandicoot rat, and Jungle Cat.
The earliest traces of human habitation can be found in the park in the sandstone caves to the north of the fort. A few of them have Brahmi inscriptions from the first century B.C. The Maghas from the first century A.D., the Vakatakas from the third century A.D., and other dynasties have all ruled the fort. From that point on, a number of dynasties, including the Chandela Kings, ruled over Bandhavgarh. Bandhavgarh progressively turned into a desolate place till the forest engulfed it and made it the royal hunting reserve.
The Maharaja kept Bandhavgarh as private property until 1968, when he donated it to the government to create the National Park. After the park was established, poaching and hunting were greatly reduced, and animal populations significantly increased. Particularly, the population of tigers increased, and the 1986 addition gave them the necessary forest area to live in. The resort offers lodging for visitors that want to stay over.
Day 12 : Bandhavgarh - Jabalpur - New Delhi (by road 200 kms/4 hrs drive)
Early morning jeep tiger safari in the park. After lunch, tourists are taken on a 4-hour drive to Jabalpur airport where they can board the 17:50 flight to New Delhi. Arrival at New Delhi at 19:45 hrs. foreign tourists make an overnight stay at the resort.
Day 13 : New Delhi – Agra (220 kms/4-5 hrs drive)
After a relaxed breakfast at the hotel, drive to Agra. A total distance of 220 km, it will take you approximately 04 hours on the road. On arrival check into the hotel. Later, proceed to visit the red sandstone Agra Fort which stands like a crescent on the banks of Yamuna River enclosed by forbidding 20-meter high walls, with a 12- meter moat between them. Three successive Mughal emperors – Akbar, Jehangir, and Shah Jehan – helped create this massive structure that contains Hindu and Muslim architecture. Overnight stay at the Hotel in Agra.
Day 14 : Agra – New Delhi – Onward Destination
After sunrise, head over to the Taj Mahal, a famous white marble monument that Moghul monarch Shah Jehan erected for his wife Mumtaz Mahal in the middle of the 17th century.
A total of 20,000 workers and skilled craftsmen from Persia, Turkey, France, and Italy worked on this structure for 17 years before it was finished in 1652. Later, make the 220 km (4 hour) trip to New Delhi. Transfer to the New Delhi International Airport after arriving in order to catch a flight home.
