- Eleven nights in India, seven stunning hotels, game drives and sightseeing tours stretching from Mumbai to Delhi – via the Taj Mahal at sunrise…
Sounds like a list of experiences most people couldn’t hope to achieve in a lifetime – but not you. You could do it all in one trip with this brand new India Wildlife Tour package from TWX.
- You’ll spend your first two nights in a Deluxe Room at Taj Land’s End – not a bad way to start any holiday! – in the heart of Mumbai; India’s most affluent city and the capital city of Maharashtra State.
- From the Gateway of India to Marine Drive, the sea-front Boulevard, you will be also driven along Malabar Hill and Hanging Gardens before continuing to Mani Bhawan on your half-day sigh-seeing tour of Mumbai city...
Then, the following morning, it’s off to Nagpur. To get there, you will fly from Mumbai airport and transferred to The Baghvan in Pench National Park.
- In the safe hands of the expert guides, some of whom with up to 30 years of experience, you’ll head out early to encounter tigers, reptiles, amphibians and over 170 varieties of birds in Pench National Park’s 758km2 of Southern Indian tropical forest.
- Once returned to the hotel for breakfast (we said it was early!), you’ll be transferred to your next location, the Banjar Tola Hotel in Kanha.
After an overnight rest in your Cottage, there are morning and afternoon game viewings to look forward to around Kanha Park - the setting of the Jungle Book.
- And while we can’t promise singing bears and scheming snakes, you can expect a great diversity of wildlife, including the Indian Bison and Dholes - the Indian Wild Dog – and Swamp Deer.
- Kanha is also considered one of Asia's finest protected areas, and one of the best places in the world to view tigers in the wild.
- The following day, it’s off for two nights at Mahua Kothi – and game drives around the reserve named after the highest hill in the state of Madhya Pradesh, Bandhavgarh.
- Known for the highest density of tigers in the world and set in rugged terrain with many hills, you stand a good chance of seeing the Lord of the Indian Jungle, the tiger, as well as leopards, sloth bears, deer, antelope and wild pigs.
- Your next stop will be a Deluxe Room at The Radisson in Khajuraho, home of the famed erotic stone carved temples, for one night.
- Most of the temples of the north were destroyed by invaders, but Khajuraho escaped and stands today as an island of beauty. Architecturally unique, Khajuraho is not a place done justice by words - it has to be experienced.
- You’ll round off your trip with one night at The Gateway Hotel in Agra – with a half-day sightseeing tour of the city renowned for its architectural wonders and monuments, the greatest of which being the Taj Mahal, where you’ll enjoy a sunrise tour and unique view of one of the world’s most iconic buildings...
...Before taking in a full-day sightseeing tour of Delhi and ending with two nights at Delhi's Taj Palace.
