A full day sightseeing in Delhi. Starting with Old Delhi with a visit to Red Fort, Jama Masjid, and the bazaars of Chandni Chowk. In the afternoon visiting New Delhi, seeing the India gate, Parliament house, the Secretariat building, and the President’s house.
Crossing a classic Indian rural landscape via the Indian Railways network, we travel to the picturesque town of Orchha to experience a very different side of India (approximately 7 hours).
Situated on the banks of the Betwa River, Orchha has changed little over the centuries. Originally a hunting area, it became the center and capital of the Bundelas. Orchha is situated on one of the cleanest rivers in India, the Betwa and has more temples and palaces than any town of this size deserves.

Home to the beautifully preserved ancient and famous temples which are infamous for their explicit carvings depicting the full range of the Kama Sutra.
Overnight at Khajuraho hotel.
There is free time to explore the surrounding countryside either by foot or by cycle before we head out into Madhya Pradesh's Tiger Country to Panna National Park in an attempt to catch our first glimpse of the majestic, if very elusive, Indian tiger (approx one and a half hours from Khajuraho). We spend tonight right beside the banks of the beautiful fast flowing Ken River in a natural lodge.
Overnight at Panna resort.
As we continue on the Tiger Trail, we get deeper into Madhya Pradesh's Jungle traveling seven hours through fascinating countryside to Bandhavgarh National Park. Bandhavgarh is truly one of India's magnificent wildernesses with a relative abundance of tigers compared to other National Parks increasing our chances of spotting that elusive tiger - there are so many other interesting animals and birds to see- so you will not be disappointed.
Overnight at Bandhavgarh resort.
Wildlife morning and evening game safari.
Overnight at Bandhavgarh hotel.
After breakfast drive to Kanha National Park (approx 7 hours). Romanticized in the much loved English classic by Rudyard Kipling - "The Jungle Book." Kipling based his tale on the wildlife of Kanha home to those famous childhood characters - Sher Khan the Tiger, Bhaloo the Bear, Bagheera the Panther and the formidable Rock Python.
Overnight at Kanha resort.
Kanha National Park is one of the most magnificent, protected wildlife reserves in the world and arguably one of the best places in the world, where there are endangered tigers in the forest. You will also find many other mammals, reptiles, and birds. Of particular interest is the largest bull in the world - the Central Indian race of gourd and swamp deer.
