This beautiful area of forest and lightly-wooded grassland with many rivers and streams supports a variety of wildlife.

complex in Bharatpur, or visit the UNESCO World Heritage site of Keoladeo Ghana National Park.

364 species of birds, including the rare Siberian crane, have been recorded in the park, which is one

of the major wintering areas for large numbers of aquatic birds from Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, China,

and Siberia. This evening, enjoy dinner and a Raas Leela dance performance at our resort. The resort, set in a 12-acre, 200-year-old garden, offers an opportunity to experience quiet luxury near Keoladeo Ghana National

places in India to see these majestic predators in the wild. The tigers can be easily spotted even during the day. Ranthambore is a rich

mosaic of deciduous woodland, bamboo thickets, and marshes covering 500 square

miles. The varied topography of the park is also home to jackal, mongoose, sloth bear, leopard, and many species of bird. Dinner is at our lodge this evening. Overnight at

What to ExpectYou must be in good physical health to participate in this program. This itinerary features a significant amount of walking and several four- to five-hour drives. Toilet facilities may be primitive at times. Many streets are of packed dirt, and some attractions are only accessible via steep staircases with tall, uneven steps. To reap the full rewards of this adventure, travelers must be able to walk at least two miles a day, unassisted, keeping up with fellow travelers. Participants who are not able to walk unassisted for extended periods are kindly advised not to join this tour unless accompanied by a companion who will be available to assist you at all times. If you have any questions about your ability to participate, we suggest that you visit your personal physician with this itinerary in hand and discuss whether or not this program is appropriate for you.

Our comfortable hotel accommodations are chosen for their prime locations, and our meals (all included) are of the highest quality. However, bear in mind that some facilities in India are generally not up to most North American travelers’ standards. You may encounter problems with bureaucratic service, road conditions, unpaved sidewalks, uneven surfaces/steps, and/or availability and quality of public restrooms. Flexibility, a sense of humor, enjoyment of group travel, and a willingness to accept cultural differences and local standards of amenities are essential components to the full appreciation of this trip. In late January, the weather is generally dry, with a slight chance of rain. Average daytime temperatures are in the mid-70s to mid-80s F. Evening temperatures can range from the mid-50s to mid-60s F. Complete pre-departure details will be sent to participants.

Air Arrangements & TransfersAirfare from/to home is not included. Complimentary transfers in India on arrival and departure are included. Several carriers offer flights to India. Three included flights within India (as indicated on the inclusions list to the right) will be booked for the entire group.

We do not accept liability for cancellation penalties related to domestic or international airline tickets.
