Rajasthan, barely 14 kilometers from Sawai Madhopur.

highly undulating topography varying from gentle to steep slopes; from flat topped
hills of the Vindhyas to the conical hillocks and sharp ridges of the Aravalis,

Just 176 km from Delhi is a very special
wilderness - the Keoladeo Ghana National Park, one of the finest water-bird sanctuaries
in the world. The Maharaja of Bharatpur artificially created the lake and wetland
in the 19th century. By building small dykes and dams and diverting water from
an irrigation canal, he converted this low-lying area into a fine wild fowl shooting
preserve. In a few years, the new wetland surrounded by marginal forests was able
to support thousands of water birds.

AGRA:
Two great Mughal monarchs, Akbar and Shah Jahan, transformed the little village
of Agra into a befitting second capital of the Mughal Empire - giving it the name
Dar-ul-Khilafat {seat of the Emperor}. Today a visitor to Agra is caught up in
a world of contrasting edifices, of red sandstone and white marble, narrow galleys
and quaint buggies, and that irresistible charm that this favorite city of the
Mughals still retains. It is not surprising, that modern Agra still reflects its
Mughal heritage most conspicuously. A walk down the narrow bustling streets of
the city will introduce the visitor to the wafting aroma of Mughlai cuisine.

Agra. Check in at hotel.

TAJ MAHAL: Little
needs to be said about this architectural wonder which is always the soul raison-de-etre
for every tourist's visit to Agra. Built by Shah Jahan, the Taj is a white marble
memorial to his beautiful wife Mumtaz Mahal. This monument took 22 years to be
completed and was designed, and planned by Persian architect Ustad Isa. Apart
from it's stunning design balance and perfect symmetry, the Taj is also noted
particularly for its elegant domes, intricately carved screens and some of the
best inlay work ever seen.
Proceed for sightseeing to the AGRA FORT -
Built by the famed Mughal emperor Akbar in 1565 AD, the fort is predominantly
of red sandstone. Ensconced within is the picture perfect Pearl Mosque, which
is a major tourist attraction.
Visit Itmadullah's Tomb built by Empress
NOOR JEHAN in memory of her father (The interiors of which are considered better
than the Taj).

Day 07: Arrive at BandavgarhReach UMARIA and transfer

Bandavgarh is a new National
Park with a very long history. Set among the Vindhya hills of Madhya Pradesh with
an area of 168sq miles (437sq km) it contains a wide variety of habitats and a
high density of game, including a large number of Tigers. This is also the White
tiger country. These have been found in the old state of Rewa for Many years.
Bandavgarh is justifiably famous for its Tigers, but it has a wide range
of other game. The undergrowth is not as dense as in some northern terai forests,
but the best time to see the park inhabitants is still the summer months when
water becomes more scarce and the undergrowth dies back.
A full day game
viewing inside the jungle. (Two safaris).
Day 08: BandavgarhA
full day game viewing inside the jungle. (Two safaris)
Trip to the Bandavgarh
Fort: The oldest fort in India - considered to be more than 2500 years. One-hour
trek up the fort is worth the effort. The charm of this trek lies in discovering
these monuments in the jungle, unspoiled and unexplored. Some of the statues lie
off the main path and so it is best to take a guide. Apart from the avatars, well
worth seeing are three small temples of around the 12th century. These temples
are deserted but the fort is still used as a place of worship. Kabir Das, the
celebrated 16th century saint, once lived and preached here.
Overnight
at the resort.
Day 09: Bandavgarh - Kanha: By Road 255 km in 6 hrAfter

This is the place that has been described by
RUDYARD KIPLING in his great book "The Jungle Book". Located in the
Mandla district of Madhya Pradesh, Kanha National Park is a tiger reserve that
extends over an area of over 940 square km. A horseshoe shaped valley bounded
by the spurs of the Mekal presents an interesting topography. Steep rocky escarpments
along the edges offer breathtaking views of the valley. Realizing the danger on
the Tiger population in the country, the Government started the "Project
Tiger" at Kanha and in 1974 the area was declared a Tiger reserve. The park
is also the habitat of the high ground Barasingha.
