Tour Plan
Your first destination, Delhi, the capital of India has its own intricacies and contradictions where the past coexists with the present. In the geographic heart of India, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh attract pilgrims and tourists from the world over. Khajuraho is famed for its ancient sandstone temples and highly erotic sculptures. Follow the track of the tigers and watch other wild animals in their natural environment on wildlife safaris in Bandhavgarh and Kanha National Parks. One of India’s best game sanctuaries, the Kanha National Park is a combination of lush green meadows, plateaus with meandering streams and dense deciduous forests. The heart of Rudyard Kipling’s famous ‘Jungle Book’, this Park is a very important Tiger Reserve. Travel to Kawardha, a tiny town in the Gond and Baiga tribal belt, known for its natural beauty and the Bhoramdeo temple (which is also known by the sobriquet, “the Khajuraho of Chhattisgarh”)
