Wildlife Holidays In India

India’s wildlife holidays are almost as diverse as the people themselves. Sure, Ranthambore often takes the spotlight, thanks to its tiger sightings and proximity to other famous sites, but there’s so much more to explore. You’ll find Ranthambore in most 'classic' India holidays but let's venture deeper...

Wildlife connoisseurs should head to 'The Jungle Book’ settings in Pench or Kanha of Madhya Pradesh. If you'd like to go on walking safaris, Satpura is the place for you. Corbett, India's oldest national park, has many animals, from majestic elephants to elusive leopards. Dudhwa, with its untouched forests, is a hidden gem: said to be the top tiger-spotting location in the subcontinent. And that's just for starters: there's Nagahole and Periyar in the south, the lions of Gujarat, the one-horned rhinos of Bengal and many places to spot glorious birdlife...

Here are just a few ideas to kick things off. We've also sprinkled in our signature cultural and historical experiences, as no trip to India is complete without them.

ETG Wildlife Holidays In India

ETG's India wildlife holidays strike the balance between discovery and downtime. You’ll stay in stylish lodges, ‘posh’ camps, and hand-picked boutique and heritage hotels, so your time between safaris is just as special as your time in the wild.

As well as keeping your eyes peeled for Asia's answer to the Big Five, we also encourage you to focus on the wide variety of flora, the bright birds and the magnificent natural scenery. We’ll suggest the famous national parks and wildlife sanctuaries, but we'll also suggest places that few tourists ever visit, giving wildlife enthusiasts a far more private and involved experience. 

Most of our wildlife trips in India primarily focus on exploring Madhya Pradesh, as it's a lesser-visited alternative to Rajasthan, but we also offer excellent wildlife tours in Bengal, Uttarakhand, and Kerala.

You'll probably want to cover some of India's main sites too and include some fantastic hotels. Perhaps you want to see the Golden Triangle, visit Central India or relax in the South? Of course, we've got that covered for you, too.
