India
Where wilderness, spirituality, and adventure converge.
India is a land of breathtaking contrasts, where dense jungles, towering mountains, and vast deserts provide the backdrop for some of the world’s most iconic wildlife and cultural experiences. In Bandhavgarh and Kanha National Parks, the elusive Bengal tiger reigns supreme, while Kaziranga is home to the world’s largest population of one-horned rhinoceroses.
The Sundarbans, a vast mangrove delta, shelters the rare swimming tigers of India’s eastern coast. Beyond the wild, India’s landscapes are steeped in ancient traditions, from the sacred Ganges River to the towering peaks of the Himalayas, where snow leopards roam. Whether tracking Asiatic lions in Gir, glamping in the Thar Desert, or exploring the lush Western Ghats, India offers a safari experience unlike any other.

Untamed Jungles and Timeless Cultural Wonders
Central India
The Realm of the Striped King
Central India’s national parks—Bandhavgarh, Kanha, and Pench—offer some of the best chances in the world to see wild tigers. With a naturalist guide beside you, you’ll explore these landscapes in open 4×4 vehicles, tracking fresh pugmarks and listening for alarm calls from deer and langurs. The thrill of spotting a tiger in the wild—emerging from the underbrush or lounging in a shady stream—is unforgettable.
Kaziranga National Park
The Emerald Kingdom of Giants
Kaziranga National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, protects the largest population of greater one-horned rhinos on Earth. Spread across tall elephant grasslands, marshes, and braided river channels, it’s also one of the few places where you can see rhinos, elephants, wild water buffalo, and tigers all in the same place.
Indian Himalayas
Where the Snow Leopards Roam
Snow leopards are among the most elusive creatures on Earth, and tracking them through the wind-carved peaks of Hemis National Park is a rare and spiritual pursuit. In winter, when prey descends to lower altitudes, travelers can follow expert trackers into this stark and stunning landscape to catch a glimpse of this phantom cat.
Gir National Park
The Last Refuge of the Asiatic Lion
Tucked into the western state of Gujarat, Gir National Park is the last refuge of the endangered Asiatic lion. Unlike their African cousins, these lions live in dry deciduous forests and scrubland, often seen in small prides moving through teak groves or lounging near waterholes.
The Taj Mahal
A Monument to Love and Legacy
Built in the 17th century by Emperor Shah Jahan as a tribute to his wife Mumtaz Mahal, the Taj Mahal remains one of the most beloved landmarks on Earth. Its white marble façade shifts hues with the sun, from pale pink at dawn to dazzling white under a midday sky and golden at sunset.
A journey isn’t complete without its defining moment.
