Days 8/9/10~Thursday/Friday/Saturday ~February 18/19/20
Kanha National Park
Drive to Kanha National Park and its lush sal and bamboo forests, grassy meadows, and ravines, which provided inspiration to Rudyard Kipling’s famous novel The Jungle Book. Activities over the next two days will mainly consist of jungle safaris, conducted in 4x4 vehicles, which are open from all sides to give you a panoramic, unobstructed view of the landscape and every bird or animal that may just sneak into the grasses. If a tiger is sighted by the mahouts in the morning, tiger safaris on elephant back are included. Nature walks can also be arranged as well as visits to the local villages. Kanha Jungle Lodge is just a short distance from Kanha National Park at the less-frequented Mukki entrance gate.

Days 11/12/13~Sunday/Monday/Tuesday ~February 21/22/23
Bandhavgarh National Park
Drive to Bandhavgarh, a wildlife retreat where history and nature meet. Like Kanha, jungle safaris are conducted by jeep, and tiger viewings on elephant back are included if the tiger is sighted by the mahouts. On one of the days, you’ll also climb up to the Bandhavgarh Fort for a breathtaking bird's-eye view of the park. Rustic ambience is the main attraction of the Bandhavgarh Jungle Lodge, which is themed after a typical Indian village.
