Beyond Wild Wonderlands

From misted grasslands to forests that guard the tiger’s hush — a quiet drift through India’s layered wild heart.

India’s central wilderness moves where rivers slow in swampy clearings and sal trees hold the sun in shifting shadows. In Kaziranga, tall reeds bend around grazing rhinos and swamp deer, while pelicans and cormorants scatter dusk light across silent lagoons.

Southward, Kanha unfolds in forest corridors and open meadows where barasingha lift their heads above morning mist and the soft pad of a tiger leaves more hush than roar behind.

Deeper still, Bandhavgarh gathers broken fort ruins tangled in vines and teak groves where langurs stir treetops and spotted deer wait beneath ancient watchtowers of stone. Trails bend back toward quiet roads and the last forest edge before Delhi’s lamp glow gathers the wild hush for homeward steps.

This is where grasslands murmur to jungles — and the wild keeps watch beneath old trees.

Day 1

Arrive in Delhi and slip into India’s living history. Wander Old Delhi’s timeless lanes: stand at Jama Masjid’s marble courtyard, drift by rickshaw through Chandni Chowk’s tangled silver street, and glimpse the Red Fort’s sandstone ramparts. Cross to New Delhi’s broad avenues: pass Raisina Hill, Rashtrapati Bhavan, Parliament House and India Gate before pausing at Qutub Minar — Delhi’s ancient stone witness to dynasties long past.

Day 2

Fly to Jabalpur and travel onward to Kanha National Park — lush sal forests and meadows that inspired Kipling’s Jungle Book. Let the hush of the forest settle around you as dusk deepens and fireflies flicker beyond your lodge’s edge.

Day 3

Venture into Kanha’s wild heart at dawn and dusk on guided safaris. Watch for the elusive Bengal tiger, barasingha deer grazing by forest streams, and bright birds flickering through tall bamboo. Let each track and rustle draw you deeper into Kanha’s quiet wilderness.

Day 4

Continue your Kanha explorations: another sunrise safari as mist lifts from meadows, then an afternoon drive into new zones where leopards and gaur slip through shadows. By evening, unwind in your tented lodge, the jungle whispering just beyond.

Day 5

Travel on to Bandhavgarh National Park — famed for India’s highest tiger density. Let the road wind through fields and forest edges until the park’s ancient fort hills rise from green canopies.

Day 6

Ride into Bandhavgarh at dawn: catch first light filtering through sal forests while peacocks call and langurs leap from tree to tree. Later, roam deeper by jeep in a different zone — each safari revealing new glimpses of hidden life.

Day 7

Greet another sunrise deep within Bandhavgarh’s wild embrace. Watch shadows melt as the forest stirs awake. An afternoon safari offers fresh trails and quiet forest corners where the tiger’s silent realm lingers unseen.

Day 8

Drive on to Panna National Park — a landscape where the Ken River nourishes tigers, wolves, gharials, and a chorus of birds. Let dusk wrap you in the calm of the wilderness as you rest within Panna’s hidden clearings.

Day 9

Set out on a morning safari through Panna’s forested riverbanks and grasslands alive with deer calls and tiger tracks. Afterwards, pause at Pandav Falls — a cool cascade spilling over ancient rock ledges, the forest’s hush all around.

Day 10

Continue to Khajuraho, where temple spires rise above old stone courtyards. Wander the Western, Eastern, and Southern groups — each carving a testament to devotion and life in the Chandela dynasty’s graceful hands.

Day 11

Step into Orchha’s riverside time capsule: palaces, temples, and cenotaphs standing silent above the Betwa River. Let arches and courtyards whisper tales of Bundela kings before boarding your train at Jhansi for Agra.

Day 12

Stand at dawn before the Taj Mahal — marble softening from moonlit silver to pale gold with the sun’s gentle rise. Return to Delhi through India’s broad plains. Spend your final hours as you wish: a last market wander or a cup of chai in the city’s hush — then depart carrying forest hush and tiger echoes softly onward to your next journey.
