The Tadoba-Andheri Tiger Reserve, situated in the Chandrapur District of Maharashtra, spans over 625 square kilometres. It became one of India's 28 Project Tiger Reserves as recently as 1993. Its hills support a dense, tropical, dry, deciduous forest, largely made up of teak and bamboo, which is carved by the Andhari River and Tadoba Lake.
Tadoba has in the last few years become quite popular due to excellent Tiger sightings. Now there are a few good accommodation options which are available at Tadoba. The park is famous for many other great mammals, such as leopard, sloth bear, gaur, wild dog, striped hyena, jungle cat and chausingha (the four-horned antelope), not to mention a rich birdlife. Tadoba National Park is for those who want to sample a little-known, little-visited, tourist-free national park and tiger reserve.

Kanha Tiger Reserve encompasses 1,945 sq km and is one of the largest reserves in India. It occupies a beautiful location on a plateau in the Maikal range of hills, and comprises a crescent of forested hills that embraces broad undulating grasslands dotted with clumps of bamboo and Sal forest. There are small pools and a perennial lake, which provide essential drinking holes for the animals. The Reserve was first established in 1955 for the protection of Swamp Deer, for which it is famous. Once these deer roamed India in herds of many thousands. Today there are just 300 left, though this represents a good recovery since 1970 when just 70 individuals remained. Since the launch of ‘Project Tiger’ in the early 1970s, Kanha has been one of the Project’s key Tiger Reserves and, because its wide meadows are so suited to successful Tiger viewing, it is one of the best places in the world to search for them. Besides Tigers, we can also hope to observe plenty of Sambar, Spotted and Swamp Deer. We should also see Gaur, Wild Boar, Common Langur, Asiatic Jackal, and with luck Leopard and Dhole (Indian Wild Dog).
Around 120 species of birds are likely to be encountered around the Reserve during our stay, and these will be among the highlights of the tour. There is a good variety of birds of prey here, including Black-shouldered Kite, Crested Serpent Eagle, White-eyed Buzzard, Shikra, and a variety of vultures. Open country birds such as Painted Francolin, Indian Roller, Yellow- and Red-wattled Lapwings, and a variety of woodpeckers, pigeons, larks, pipits, and drongos are common. Sloth Bear and two of India’s lowland antelopes – Chousingha and the beautiful Blackbuck – also occur and can be seen with patience and good fortune.
During our stay at Kanha our aim will be to observe, enjoy and photograph the Reserve’s many species of mammals and birds. Naturally, we will spend a great deal of time looking for Tigers, and with luck we may see and photograph this magnificent animal. Although Kanha is one of the very best reserves for Tiger sightings, and we will be going at one of the best times of year, we cannot guarantee them!

Half Day Sightseeing of Agra (to include Taj Mahal, Itmaud-ud Daula (Baby Taj) and Agra Fort)
Agra is situated on a bend in the River Yamuna, and this defensive strength has proven definitive in its history. The city's past goes back as far as 2,500 years, when the area was part of Ashoka's Buddhist empire.
It was a stronghold of the last Hindu kings of the Lodi Dynasty in the 16th century, but was subsequently taken as capital by the Moghul rulers, Babur, Humayun and Akbar.
The city is famed for the magnificent Taj Mahal, which lives up to the hype and is truly incredible, making a visit to the city a must when travelling to India for the first time. The British also recognised the strategic importance of Agra and established a mighty garrison here on the edge of the plains of Panipat, where India's fortunes have so often turned.
Agra grew as a centre for heavy industry following partition in 1947, becoming famous for its chemical industry, but tourism and the Taj Mahal have now become the major source of income, and the city has been cleaned up as a result.
Although Agra does lack the charm of the other great cities of the north, it remains one of most visited cities in the world.
PLEASE NOTE the Taj Mahal is undergoing extensive cleaning and restoration work to preserve it for many more years to come. It is taking a considerably longer time to complete than the Government anticipated and the estimated completion date is now spring/summer 2018. Unfortunately we are not informed which parts of the monument will be covered when, but we do know the main building and dome are yet to be cleaned. We believe the main dome will be covered in scaffolding from early 2017 until spring 2018 – but this may well change without warning. Please note renovations will also take place within the interior.
