Tour Overview
Familiarize with the denizens of thick Indian Jungle on this Tiger Safari in India. It includes some of the most sought-after wildlife destinations in the country like Corbett National Park in the north along with Kanha and Bandhavgarh National Park in Central India.
Corbett is known as the land of the Roar, Trumpet and Song, rightly so since it is the diverse land that homes the Royal Bengal Tiger, Asian Elephant and close to 600 species of birds! What more, is that all of this wildlife converges in the laps of the Himalayan Foothills and clear waters of the Ramganga River. More so, you get the chance of staying amidst wilderness in the 100 year old forest rest house, in one of the most sacred locations in the forest, the Dhikala Zone.
After Corbett, you also get the opportunity to witness the vistas of Central India. Kanha National Park homes some of the biggest Tigers in the country while Bandhavgarh has one of the highest Tiger densities.
Witness this spectacular panorama on this exclusive Corbett, Kanha and Bandhavgarh Tour.

The park has been a center of human activity and settlement for over 2000 years. There are references to it in ancient books such as the Narad-Panch Ratra and the Shiva Purana.
The oldest sign of habitation in the park is the caves dug into the sandstone to the north of the fort. Several contain Brahmi inscriptions dating back to the 1st century BCE. Various dynasties have ruled the fort, for example, the Maghas from the 1st century CE. the Vakatakas from the 3rd century CE. From there on, Bandhavgarh was ruled by a succession of dynasties including the Chandela. After independence from the British, Bandhavgarh remained the private property of the Maharaja of Rewa until he gave it to the state for the formation of the National Park in 1968. After the park was created, poaching and hunting were brought under control and the numbers of wildlife rose dramatically.
