Tigers, Temples & the Taj Mahal 14 days
An adventurous itinerary visiting two of central India's best tiger parks, Satpura and Bandhavgarh, where we search the jungle for wildlife both by jeep and, more intriguingly, on foot. Added to this are visits to the magnificent temples of Khajuraho, the atmospheric and crumbling monuments of Orchha and the ultimate shrine to love: the Taj Mahal. We finish off with a visit to the little known but emerging new wildlife destination of Chambal.
