From Delhi’s scale and energy, the journey slips into a very different India—dense forests, early mornings, and long still hours in tiger country. Kanha and Bandhavgarh anchor the route, offering some of the best chances to see wild tigers alongside deer, birdlife, and open forest landscapes, with days structured around patience rather than pursuit. Jabalpur’s rivers and Khajuraho’s temples frame the wildlife experience, giving contrast and breathing room without breaking the flow of the journey. This escorted journey is fully customizable based on your pacing preferences.
