Tiger Safari
This exciting trip is an unforgettable journey into India's exotic and adventurous heartland. We journey through the ages of India's great history, from paintings left behind in Orchha's palaces, to the Mughal splendours of 17th century Delhi and Agra and hopefully spotting that elusive tiger in Panna or Kanha national park. There are towns, cities and small villages seemingly lost in time and with the shockingly explicit carvings of the Khajuraho temples will leave you in wonder. But it's when we are walking through Old Delhi, past temples and pilgrims with their incense burning that we really feel that we are travelling in a different world
15 days including experienced tour leader, quality accommodation and airport transfers. See full Itinerary below....
