Private Bandhavgarh and Kanha Tiger Safari Luxury Tour

Thousands of extremely detailed stone sculptures adorn the facades of these temples, and the subject matter includes some very explicit erotic scenes. The sophisticated design and building techniques that were used in the creation of these temples and the detailed artistry of the sculptures cannot be described in words - you have to experience them personally to grasp their impact. You have the option of attending the sound and light show at the western group of temples in the evening – it is hard to understand and not of high quality.

Day 3: Khajuraho - Bandhavgarh. (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner) You are assisted with an early morning check-out of your hotel and then you are driven through the countryside and jungle to Bandhavgarh National Park. A packed breakfast is provided from your hotel for this journey.

Arrive at Bandhavgarh (Bandhavgarh is statistically India’s best park for tiger sightings, almost always multiple sightings over your 6 private safaris) in time for a slightly late lunch, and, before or after lunch, you are greeted by the hotel staff and then assisted with your check-in to your luxury jungle lodge, the only truly authentic luxury lodging in Bandhavgarh. All the Taj Safari Lodges have a dedicated team of specially trained wildlife luxury specialists. Easy Tours only uses their most inclusive package both here and at your next destination - Kanha, including all meals and a number of available activities. As you are now in the care of the expert staff of the lodge, your Tour Director bids you a temporary farewell until the day you depart Kanha National Park for Delhi.

The park is also densely populated with prey for the tigers, such as the chital (Spotted Deer), sambar (Barking Deer), nilgai (Blue Bull), and chausingha (Four Horned Antelope). A large variety of different species of birds is also found here.

Days 4 & 5: Bandhavgarh. (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner) Enjoy morning and afternoon private jeep wildlife safaris into the park on both days. In-between safaris, your lodge offers multiple activities, including al fresco dining with jungle views, wildlife lectures and videos, and village excursions.

Day 6: Bandhavgarh – Kanha. (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner) Enjoy your last private jeep wildlife safari into the park this morning. After this you will return to your lodge to freshen up and enjoy breakfast. After checking-out you will proceed on the drive through jungles and rural areas to Kanha Tiger Reserve. A packed lunch is provided by your lodge for the journey.

Easy Tours recommends that, while planning your dates, you keep in mind the fact that there are no safaris on Wednesday afternoons at Bandhavgarh and Kanha. So, this 5 hour jungle drive should ideally be scheduled for a Wednesday. However, if this is not possible, there are many other activities available at the lodges, such as village and nature walks.

Arrive at Kanha, the setting for Kipling’s Jungle Book, and you are greeted by the Taj Safaris Jungle camp staff and assisted with your check-in to your gorgeous elevated tent on the riverbank.

The Park covers an area of 1945 square kilometres, including a core zone of 940 square kilometres. It is a beautiful part of India’s jungles, with lightly wooded grassland and many streams and rivers. It is the home of a variety of animals including tiger, panther, and many species of deer, wild pig, bison, a variety of monkeys and other animals, as well as some 200 species of birds. It is obviously a part of ‘Project Tiger,’ one of India’s most important conservation efforts.

Days 7 & 8: Kanha. (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner) Enjoy morning and afternoon private jeep wildlife safaris into the Reserve on these days. In-between safaris, your lodge offers multiple activities, including al fresco dining with jungle views, wildlife lectures and videos, and village excursions.

Day 9: Kanha - Jabalpur - Delhi - International Flight. (Breakfast and Lunch) Enjoy your last private jeep wildlife safari into the Reserve this morning. After this you will return to your lodge to freshen up and enjoy breakfast.
Your Tour Director will re-join you here and assist with your check-out. You are driven to Jabalpur Airport for a nonstop no-frills flight to Delhi. A packed lunch is provided by your lodge for the journey.
