Wild India
An Expertly Guided Journey into the Cultural and Natural Jewels of an Extraordinary Destination
The Indian subcontinent is one of the world's most stimulating destinations. From its mélange of human cultures to its spectrum of wild habitats rich with exotic animals, India offers an intense experience of all that makes adventure travel captivating. This safari focuses on India’s natural realm, renowned for its dramatic rivers, fabled jungles and profuse big game. Ecotourism has been integral to conservation in India, and our travels directly benefit the continued existence of some of the world’s most precious vanishing species. We also experience India’s vibrant cities, a dramatic counterpoint to our time in the wilds.
- Safari with our Expedition Leader in search of tigers, one-horned rhinoceros and other wildlife, exploring the bush by Jeep and elephant back
- Relax in vintage-style comfort at deluxe eco-lodges tucked within India’s best game reserves
- Contrast nature and culture as we discover India’s architectural treasures, including a sunrise sojourn at the sublime Taj Mahal

Group Size Limit
Approximately 14 Travelers
A very important feature of our Indian safari is the limited group size, as an eco tour is best experienced with a small group of travelers.
Included
Internal flights, train from Dehli to Agra, airport transfers on or before Day 1 and final day only, accommodations, meals from dinner Day 1 to lunch final day, bottled water during activities and bottled water and soft drinks at meals, services of an NHA Expedition Leader, local guides and lodge staff, most gratuities, camera fees in all parks (but not extra fee for video cameras), permits and entrance fees and all taxes.
Not Included
Travel to and from start and end points of trip (Delhi, India), alcoholic beverages, passport and visa fees, some gratuities, optional activities, late departure airport transfers, fees for video cameras in parks, items of a personal nature (phone calls, souvenirs, internet, etc.), airline baggage fees, airport and departure taxes, required medical evacuation insurance and optional travel insurance.
Physical Requirements
Easy to Moderate / Flexible
Physical activities include easy city walking tours up to three miles in length. The trip does involve many early morning starts and full days of game drives in the parks. Some drives between locations are long (5-6 hours) and may be over bumpy surfaces.
Important Information
On this journey our focus is primarily on India’s natural heritage, though we will have ample opportunity to experience its rich history and fascinating and diverse culture as well. In the game parks our main mode of transportation will be 4x4 vehicles, but we may also have the opportunity to utilize elephants under the guidance of experienced mahouts. Due to India’s vast size, our journey will involve several internal flights and long drives in the five- to six-hour range.
Getting There & Getting Home
Arrive by 12pm on Day 1 to join a sightseeing tour of New Delhi or by 7pm for a welcome dinner. You are free to depart anytime after 8pm on the final day. We can best serve you if Natural Habitat Adventures' Travel Desk makes these reservations, as we are intimately familiar with the special requirements of these programs and can arrange the most efficient and cost-effective travel.
