Day 1: Arrive at Delhi
Most flights arrive either in the evening or at night, and we recommend that our guests consider arriving a day earlier as this allows you to recuperate from jetlag, and serves as insurance against international flight delays and cancellations. An additional night’s hotel stay can be added at the time of reservation.
Welcome to India, home to some of the world’s most exotic wildlife, over 500 National Wildlife Parks and Sanctuaries, incredible historical monuments, and the world’s most colorful culture. Our services begin when you are met by an Easy Tours Travel Facilitator and ushered to a chauffeur driven vehicle.
You are now driven to your upscale hotel near the airport and assisted with your check-in if it is 3 pm or later. The next day’s plans are briefly reviewed and you are at leisure for the rest of the day.

Bandhavgarh National Park. Bandhavgarh is statistically India’s best park for tiger sightings, almost always resulting in multiple sightings over your 5 safaris here. The park is home to a variety of wildlife including leopards, sloth bears, Indian bison (gaur), sambar deer, barking deer, and langurs. The avian population is equally impressive, with over 250 species of birds recorded in the park. Birdwatchers can delight in spotting species like the crested serpent eagle, the Malabar pied hornbill, and the Indian roller, among others. The rich and varied wildlife makes each safari a unique experience, offering new encounters and sightings every time. The park derives its name from the more than 2000-year-old hilltop Bandhavgarh Fort.

Days 3 & 4: Bandhavgarh. (B,L,D)
Enjoy morning and afternoon jeep wildlife safaris into the park on both days. Safaris at Bandhavgarh are conducted in the mornings and afternoons. The early morning safaris, starting at the crack of dawn, are ideal for spotting wildlife as animals are more active during this time. The afternoon safaris, on the other hand, provide a different ambiance as the sun sets, casting a golden hue over the landscape and creating perfect photographic opportunities. In-between safaris, your lodge offers multiple activities, including al fresco dining with jungle views, wildlife lectures and videos, and village excursions.
