Taj, Temples and Tigers – The Perfect Family Holiday to India
11 days from £4,930 for 2024 per person
Experience a taste of rural India with trips to remote villages and stays in smaller hotels with plenty of character.
This is an exhilarating tour for keen wildlife spotters covering two of India’s most renowned national parks: Bandhavgarh and Kanha. But before the wildlife gets started we’ll take you to see the Taj Mahal and some of India’s most beautiful temple architecture in Khajuraho; essential destinations for any tailor-made tour to India.
Both national parks have their own unique character with the natural rock fortress at the heart of Bandhavgarh and Kanha’s rolling landscape. The tour allows time for three nights and at least five game drives in each park giving you ample chance to spot an abundance of wildlife, and whilst this is no guarantee that a tiger will be sighted, we’d be surprised if you didn’t spot one! There will also be time to visit the surrounding villages allowing an insight into rural life in India and the complexities of humans and tigers living side by side. The hotels in the parks are small, have plenty of character and blend well into the natural surroundings whilst still offering a good level of service.
This luxury holiday is purely a suggested itinerary; it could easily be extended with time on the beach in Goa or at one of our favourite hotels, Ahilya Fort just a flight and short drive away. The opportunities of creating your perfect tailor-made tour of India are endless!
