About Luxury Tiger Safari in India with Golden Triangle Tour

Tap into the timelessness of the very forests that brought Rudyard Kipling’s ‘Jungle Book’ come to life. It is here that the amalgamation of grand Sal trees, bamboo forest, and the fascinating animals it nurtures, helps the wildlife coexist within this tranquil outback. A tiger safari tour through Kipling’s very own country will leave its viewer enchanted with the sights of Tigers, Sloth Bears, Wild Dogs and the hardground Barasingha. These iconic national parks in India are known for their legacy and high tiger density, which means you have an incredible chance to witness the elusive striped cat walk nonchalantly through the forest floor in its royal demeanor.

Combined with the magnificence of the Tiger is the fascinating Golden Triangle Tour. Rudyard Kipling described Taj Mahal as “Embodiment of everything pure”. Every year, tourists more than twice the population of Agra pass through its gates to catch a glimpse of what is widely considered the most beautiful building in the world. Invest a day at least to visit this enduring symbol of love.

This epic combination is tied together by the most opulent lodges across the continent. With luxury oozing out of every nook and cranny of these properties, the lodges you will be accommodated at are not only par excellence but also have been titled as some of the best hotels consistently by CNN and Conde Nast Traveler.

Detailed Itinerary

02 March '24 : Arrival in New Delhi

On arrival at the New Delhi Airport, a representative from Nature Safari will meet you at the airport arrival hall, holding your name card. He will be accompanied by the chauffeur and an air conditioned SUV waiting to transfer you to your hotel. On arrival at the hotel, our personnel will also assist you with a smooth check-in, while handing over any paperwork necessary for the trip. Overnight at the hotel in New Delhi.

03 March '24 : New Delhi – Raipur – Kanha (Flight + 200 km, 04-hour drive)

Early morning the same representative will meet you at the hotel and assist you with a transfer to the domestic airport to board a flight at 0650 hrs to Raipur. On arrival at the airport in Raipur our driver will be waiting at the arrival hall with your name card. Transfer to Kanha National Park, 200 km takes around 04 hours of drive. On arrival, the lodge team will welcome you and give a brief personalized orientation about the lodge and the national park.

Post the basic orientation session, hot lunch is served, after which you proceed for your first afternoon safari experience in Kanha National Park.

On this afternoon safari you explore the beautiful meadows of Kanha National Park filled with herds of grazing deer. Kanha National Park’s wet deciduous forest prevents it from being completely dry. In this area, where summer temperatures can reach 40 to 45 degrees Celsius, tall Sal trees with a thick canopy on top provide much needed shelter for wildlife. Approximately thirty years ago, the park was densely populated. After the villages were removed from the park’s central section, lovely wide grasslands arose. By reintroducing the last nearly extinct population of Hard Ground Barasingha (Rucervus Duvaucelli Branderi) from about 70 individuals to more than 700 in the current population, the Park management team has made conservation history for wildlife.

The safari ends by sunset. Once you’re back from the afternoon safari, the lodge team will be waiting for you with cold towels and some refreshing drinks. Once you’ve freshened up, head out for dinner where you get the opportunity to interact with the naturalists who narrate first hand jungle experiences! Overnight at the lodge in Kanha National Park.

04 March '24 : In Kanha National Park

Start your day early with freshly brewed coffee/tea and some cookies, before heading out for the morning safari at dawn. We suggest you leave the lodge early, because when your vehicle is the first one parked at the entry gate, it gives you better chances of tracking the fresh pug marks along the tiger trails.

If you do not see much activity in the jungle, the guide makes a small halt to closely listen to the sound of the jungle. He carefully listens for any alarm calls or monkey chatter, that could hint tiger movement in the area. Your naturalist will also help you identify and differentiate between various alarm calls.

Breakfast is served within the national park on the car bonnet. It is displayed by the naturalist accompanying you. A quick refreshment will rejuvenate you especially in summer months. A typical breakfast spread comprises of sandwiches, boiled eggs, tea, coffee, press juice, fruit, cupcakes, cookies and toast. However, if you wish to carry something specific, please let the naturalist know an evening in advance so he can apprise the chef about the same.

Once you’re back from the morning game drive, the team back at the lodge will be waiting for you with refreshing drinks and damp cold towels. After freshening up, head for lunch.

Post lunch get ready for an afternoon safari. Once you enter the park, look for the signs and tracks and visit the waterholes, as with the heat of the day the animals will be the area where the access to the water is easy. Come back from the safari by sunset. Evening gather around and cherish the moments inside the park. Dinner and overnight at the lodge in Kanha.

Frequently Asked Questions

The best time to visit Kanha and Bandhavgarh is from November to April every year. These parks open up in the first week of October post monsoon. However, to avoid any uncertain showers, it is best to plan your tiger safari to Kanha and Bandhavgarh starting November.
The maximum number of safaris one can take in a day are 2 – one in the morning and one later in the afternoon. Another option is to take a full day safari where your jeep enters the park 15-20 minutes prior to all other safari vehicles and exists 15-20 minutes after all gypsies have left the park. This way you spend the entire day within the park, including dining atop the jeep bonnet, amidst the forest greens! This, unlike the two safaris where you spend 5 hours inside during the morning safari, go back to the hotel for lunch and then re-enter post lunch for the afternoon safari, is a preferred form of tiger safari for people documenting a particular species or serious photographers.
A tour guide will be accompanying you to get the best and most fulfilling experience while on a tiger safari in Bandhavgarh and Kanha National Park. To ensure maximum safety during the COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing norms will be practiced while on the tour, with masks and hand sanitizers also available.
Both parks are great for tiger sightings in India. While Kanha has the biggest male Tigers photographed amidst the lush green Sal jungle, Bandhavgarh has a very high density of tigers concentrated in a comparatively smaller park. Therefore, each park has its charms and spotting the striped feline while on a tiger safari in either of these, will leave you delighted to say the least.
