India - A Jungle Book Journey

Beginning in the 1970s, multiple national parks were designated in India, many on huge swathes of private land that belonged to maharajahs. Former hunting grounds became, ironically, India's greatest wildlife refuges, teeming with species including tigers, one-horned rhinos, clouded leopards, sambar deer, wild elephants, boars, jackals, foxes, bison, monkeys and langurs. This extraordinary India tour features safaris in three of the country's most important preserves, havens for the magnificent Bengal tiger and an encounter is a spine-tingling experience. Savor a stay in the best ecolodges and boutique hotels in India.
