This itinerary concentrates on wildlife viewing amongst the spectacular scenery of National Parks in the Himalayan foothills.
Two days walking between Naugaon and Binsar takes you along forest trails not accessible to vehicles.
The abundant bird and animal life (including tigers, leopards and elephants) found in these parks reflect higher altitude habitats.
Sightseeing in the sacred city of Haridwar on the Ganges, the vibrant capital of Delhi, and the Taj Mahal in Agra complete a well-rounded programme.
