Day
6 & 7. Explore Kanha National Park: Over the next two days we unravel
the jungle mysteries of one of the greatest wildlife havens on our planet,
either in jeeps or on elephants, and track game in the .great forests of
sal that have given birth to many jungle adventures, especially the much
loved English classic by Rudyard Kipling - The Jungle Book Kipling based
his tale on the wildlife of Kanha in the late 19th century and thus Kanha
is also known as 'Kipling Country'.
Romanticised by Kipling, Kanha National Park is among the most spectacular,
protected wildlife reserves of the world. The 1,945 sq. km National Park
has been compared to N'Gorongoro National Park of Tanzania. However unlike
its African cousin, Kanha is not a volcanic crater, but the surrounding
hills are a result of geographically ancient volcanic activity. Above all
Kanha is far greener and more densely wooded than N'Gorongoro.
The
grassy plateaux, wooded hills and valleys of Kanha are home to the legendary
Sher Khan the Tiger, the loveable Baloo the Bear, the wise Bagheera the
Panther and the dreaded Kaa the Rock Python. An important inhabitant of
the Park is the Gaur, the largest wild ox in the world (sometimes wrongly
referred to as the bison, which it is not).
The more-than-300-species birdlist offers profitable occupation to keen
birdwatchers. Black-shouldered Kite, crested serpent eagle, white-eyed buzzard,
shikra, painted francolin, Indian roller, red-wattled lapwing, malabar pied
hornbill, black-neaded oriole, and several others such as mynas, bush chats,
kingfishers, treepies, falcons, owls, vultures etc. will provide unlimited
hours of pleasure to those who choose to seek them. Overnight in a jungle
lodge.
Day 8. Kanha to Bandhavgarh : Delightful drive of about 7 hrs to Bandhavgarh. Today we bid adieu to the wonderland called Kanha and set out towards another green jewel of India - Bandhavgarh National Park.
Day
9 & 10. Explore Bandhavgarh National Park: Over the next two days we
shall explore the jungle in jeeps or on elephants.
Bandhavgarh's claim to international fame is the discovery of white tigers
by the Maharaja of the princely state of Rewa, in 1951. Unfortunately white
tigers are not found in the wild anymore and survive only in the various
zoos around the world. The progeny of the white tigers captured by the Maharaja
can be seen at the National Zoological Garden in New Delhi.
The Park covers an area of around 437 sq. km and although it is a relatively
new National Park, it has a very long history.
The animal life in the Park is prolific. Nilgai, chowsingha, chinkara, wild
boar, jackal, fox, porcupine, Ratel and three species of deer are found
in the park along with the Leopard and the Tiger. The best way to look out
for game is on elephant -back.
Birds of Bandhavgarh include hornbills, leaf birds, wood shrikes, drongos,
fantails, bee-eaters, parakeets and pigeons, to name a few. As the Park
is relatively new, a checklist of 150 species has been drawn up, so there
is ample scope for discovery and adding more to the existing list.
One of the main attractions in the Park, besides the wildlife, is the Fort
of Bandhavgarh, which is situated on top of a plateau overlooking the National
Park and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.
Day 11. Drive to Umaria board train to Agra: After morning safari we must pack our bags and get ready for a journey in to history. In the afternoon after bidding good bye to jungle folk of Bandhavgarh we drive to Umaria to board overnight train (Dep: 2025 Hours) to Agra.
Day 12. Arrive Agra early morning at 0630hrs: Assistance on arrival and
transfer to the hotel. Morning free. Afternoon visit to Taj Mahal: described
as the most extravagant monument ever built in memory of love, the Taj Mahal
is known the world over. Empress Mumtaz's death, in 1629, left Shahjahan
heartbroken. In memory of his beloved Queen he began construction of a building
which according to him was to be the most magnificent structure ever built.
Agra Fort: Situated on the banks of river Jamuna the Agra Fort is an awesome
reminder of the glory of Mughal dynasty. Emperor Akbar began construction
of the massive Fort in 1565, and additions were made to the complex until
the time of his grandson, Shahjahan. Breakfast and overnight in hotel.
Day 13. Agra to Jaipur (240kms/5hrs): After breakfast, drive through Rajasthani villages, journey brings us first to the deserted sand stone building of Fatehpur Sikiri and the Sufi shrine of Sheikh Salim Chishti. Arrive in Jaipur, a city built in 1727, as the dream of the brilliant ruler Jai Singh. It has retained its reputation as one of the formost cities in India planned and executed in a manner that draws accolades from modern town planners. Jaipur is known as the pink city, because many buildings are still washed pink, (the traditional colour of welcome), this practice was originally introduced to honor the visit of the Prince Albert in 1856. Overnight in hotel. Evening free. Breakfast and overnight in hotel.
Day 14. Jaipur: This morning we drive to nearby Amber and ascend by elephant to see the 16th century hilltop fortress - palace and its richly decorated apartments. This was the ancient Rajput capital of Amber, built by Raja Man Singh and used by the Rajputs as their stronghold until Sawai Jai Singh II moved to the newly created Jaipur. You will visit the palace and its many intricate chambers and hallways, which has breathtaking views of the J al Mahal (Water palace) below. In the afternoon we visit City Palace, still inhabited by Jai Singh's descendants, it is a superb fusion of Rajput and Mughal architecture. A city within a city, it includes the Govind Deo Temple, the Jantar Mantar astronomical observatory and the Maharaja's museum with his personal collection of weaponry, miniature paintings, royal attire and jewellery. On the periphery of the Palace stands the Hawa Mahal, the Palace of Winds, an elaborate pink sandstone facade behind which the ladies of the court used to watch the daily goings on in the street below. Breakfast & Overnight in Hotel.
Day 15. Jaipur-Delhi (drive 250kms/5hrs): After early breakfast drive to Delhi. Perhaps there is no other capital city in the world so steeped in history and legend as the Indian capital, Delhi. It was the magnet that drew the Mongols, Turks, Persians, Afghans, Mughals and finally the British, all of whom contributed to its glorious but turbulent history. Old Delhi Tour (half day) : Shah Jahan founded the city of Shahjanabad, now referred to as Old Delhi, in 1648. The famous Red Fort in the heart of Old Delhi was once the most opulent fort of the Mughal Empire and it boasts the Diwan-i-Am, hall of Private Audience. Opposite the fort is the Jama Masjid, one of the largest mosques in the world, built by ShahJahan to dominate his city. Breakfast & Overnight in Hotel.
