Our holiday begins with sightseeing in Delhi, a city steeped in Moghul history. We then drive to the world-famous Bharatpur Reserve in Rajasthan to observe a superb variety of wetland birds, before diverting to admire the archaeological splendours of nearby Agra as well as the deserted former capital of Fatehpur Sikri. We travel next from Agra by train deep into the heart of Madhya Pradesh to visit the spectacular Jehangir Mahal at Orchha and to search for Tigers in Panna Tiger Reserve, where other mammalian residents include Nilgai, Chinkara, Sambar and Chousingha. The holiday concludes with a tour of the temple complex at Khujuraho before returning to Delhi.

Our holidays to India take the wildlife enthusiast to a diverse and abundant land. The Indian subcontinent encompasses an enormous range of habitats, extending from the spectacular peaks of the Himalayas in the north, through forests, lakes and deserts to the moist Nilgiri hills in the south of the country where the shoreline is lapped by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. These diverse landscapes support some of the most spectacular profusions of life on Earth.


India is an exciting destination in other respects. The abundant archaeological reminders of the country’s extraordinary history, and the fascination of a completely unique and complex culture are reasons enough to visit India. However, for anyone interested in natural history the attractions of a wildlife holiday to India are simply too great to resist.

This Naturetrek holiday specifically focuses, in equal measure, on both wildlife and India’s fabulous historical, cultural and architectural heritage. Above all, and unusually for India, our itinerary achieves a maximum of variety with a minimum of exhausting travel. A brief domestic flight, two short and comfortable train journeys, and just a few hours of driving on the peaceful roads of rural India are all that are required to complete this fascinating and colourful circuit. We will visit such fabulous sights as the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Fatehpur Sikri and the temples of Khajuraho, all of which so magnificently encapsulate the lavish history of northern India over the past millennium. We will also visit Panna National Park and Tiger Reserve — one of India’s most scenic sanctuaries and currently a favourite amongst wildlife connoisseurs on account of the sheer abundance and variety of both its mammals and birds — and conclude our tour in the world’s most famous bird reserve … Bharatpur.

We begin in India’s capital, New Delhi. Here, we will drive to our comfortable hotel. Later, after a rest and a light lunch, an optional afternoon tour of Old Delhi might include such magnificent Moghul monuments as the Jama Masjid Mosque and the Red Fort, though the keen birdwatchers in our party may choose instead to visit the Sultanpur National Park and Bird Sanctuary. In 1839 a British army engineer stumbled upon a complex of the most remarkable Hindu temples. Lost for centuries in remote jungle, these magnificent examples of Indo-Aryan architecture had escaped the destruction that Moghul rule inflicted on virtually all other Hindu monuments in northern India at the time. Today, Khajuraho’s temples, so skilfully constructed between 950 and 1050 AD under the later kings of the Chandela dynasty and boasting exquisite (and many erotic) carvings, are listed as a World Heritage Site. Now beautifully restored, they are set within delightful gardens favoured by abundant birdlife and marauding Rhesus and Common Langur Monkeys. From our base in Khajuraho we have ample time to explore the temple complexes and the wildlife of Panna Tiger Reserve.

Panna, a stunning national park of 543 square kilometres, has remained largely unknown and ignored by tourism, mainly because its few Tigers remain wary and elusive. Though consisting largely of dry deciduous forest, it boasts great scenic beauty through its combination of rolling hills and plateaux, grassy meadows, gorges and waterfalls. The broad waters of the River Ken pass through the park and allow us to enjoy wildlife-viewing, abundant waterbirds and many large Marsh Mugger crocodiles on boat excursions. Primarily though, we will explore this extensive park on lengthy jeep tours, and sometimes on elephant back, encountering abundant Spotted Deer, Sambar, Nilgai, Wild Boar and troupes of Common Langurs, the more elusive Chinkara and Chousingha antelopes and, with luck, a Tiger, Dhole (Asian Wild Dog) or even a Leopard! With such a variety of habitats, Panna also provides a most varied birdlife, with Painted Sandgrouse, and a wide variety of owls and nightjars likely to be amongst the highlights.

We next drive to Orchha, once the capital of the Bandela dynasty, and today a most picturesque and peaceful village that sits amongst a proliferation of temples, royal chhattris (tombs) and a striking 16th century fort-palace on an island in the Betwa River. There is much to enjoy for a day here, before we take the train from Jhansi to Agra, passing the imposing Gwalior Fort. A stay in Agra will allow us to soak in the splendour of the Taj Mahal and its environs … and to visit the magnificent Agra Fort. We will then drive on, stopping en route to explore the fascinating abandoned Moghul city of Fatehpur Sikri, to Bharatpur, the most famous bird reserve of them all, where a feast of birds and other wildlife awaits us.

So, is there a downside to our managing director’s favourite Indian odyssey? Yes, just one! Your chance of a Tiger sighting on this tour is a fairly slim one. For this reason, we offer you the chance to extend your holiday with a visit to Ranthambore, one of India’s most spectacular and best known Tiger Reserves, or any other of the country’s fine national parks.

Summary

This Naturetrek holiday specifically focuses, in equal measure, on both wildlife and India’s fabulous historical, cultural and architectural heritage. Above all, and unusually for India, our itinerary achieves a maximum of variety with a minimum of exhausting travel. A brief domestic flight, two short and comfortable train journeys, and just a few hours of driving on the peaceful roads of rural India are all that are required to complete this fascinating and colourful circuit. We will visit such fabulous sights as the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Fatehpur Sikri and the temples of Khajuraho, all of which so magnificently encapsulate the lavish history of northern India over the past millennium. We will also visit Panna National Park and Tiger Reserve — one of India’s most scenic sanctuaries and currently a favourite amongst wildlife connoisseurs on account of the sheer abundance and variety of both its mammals and birds — and conclude our tour in the world’s most famous bird reserve … Bharatpur.

We begin in India’s capital, New Delhi. Here, we will drive to our comfortable hotel. Later, after a rest and a light lunch, an optional afternoon tour of Old Delhi might include such magnificent Moghul monuments as the Jama Masjid Mosque and the Red Fort, though the keen birdwatchers in our party may choose instead to visit the Sultanpur National Park and Bird Sanctuary. In 1839 a British army engineer stumbled upon a complex of the most remarkable Hindu temples. Lost for centuries in remote jungle, these magnificent examples of Indo-Aryan architecture had escaped the destruction that Moghul rule inflicted on virtually all other Hindu monuments in northern India at the time. Today, Khajuraho’s temples, so skilfully constructed between 950 and 1050 AD under the later kings of the Chandela dynasty and boasting exquisite (and many erotic) carvings, are listed as a World Heritage Site. Now beautifully restored, they are set within delightful gardens favoured by abundant birdlife and marauding Rhesus and Common Langur Monkeys. From our base in Khajuraho we have ample time to explore the temple complexes and the wildlife of Panna Tiger Reserve.

Panna, a stunning national park of 543 square kilometres, has remained largely unknown and ignored by tourism, mainly because its few Tigers remain wary and elusive. Though consisting largely of dry deciduous forest, it boasts great scenic beauty through its combination of rolling hills and plateaux, grassy meadows, gorges and waterfalls. The broad waters of the River Ken pass through the park and allow us to enjoy wildlife-viewing, abundant waterbirds and many large Marsh Mugger crocodiles on boat excursions. Primarily though, we will explore this extensive park on lengthy jeep tours, and sometimes on elephant back, encountering abundant Spotted Deer, Sambar, Nilgai, Wild Boar and troupes of Common Langurs, the more elusive Chinkara and Chousingha antelopes and, with luck, a Tiger, Dhole (Asian Wild Dog) or even a Leopard! With such a variety of habitats, Panna also provides a most varied birdlife, with Painted Sandgrouse, and a wide variety of owls and nightjars likely to be amongst the highlights.

We next drive to Orchha, once the capital of the Bandela dynasty, and today a most picturesque and peaceful village that sits amongst a proliferation of temples, royal chhattris (tombs) and a striking 16th century fort-palace on an island in the Betwa River. There is much to enjoy for a day here, before we take the train from Jhansi to Agra, passing the imposing Gwalior Fort. A stay in Agra will allow us to soak in the splendour of the Taj Mahal and its environs … and to visit the magnificent Agra Fort. We will then drive on, stopping en route to explore the fascinating abandoned Moghul city of Fatehpur Sikri, to Bharatpur, the most famous bird reserve of them all, where a feast of birds and other wildlife awaits us.

So, is there a downside to our managing director’s favourite Indian odyssey? Yes, just one! Your chance of a Tiger sighting on this tour is a fairly slim one. For this reason, we offer you the chance to extend your holiday with a visit to Ranthambore, one of India’s most spectacular and best known Tiger Reserves, or any other of the country’s fine national parks.
