North India - The Taj & Beyond - 10days/ 9 nights
As much as she is known for her culture and civilisation, India is also famous for the range of her natural habitats that continue to provide sanctuary to a wide variety of wildlife - plants, birds and animals.
The vast man-made wetlands are a major feature of the Keoladeo Gana National Park and attract 375 species of birds, many of them from as far off as Siberia and Mongolia.
In the shadow of the brooding silhoutte of the Ranthambore Fort, lies tiger country that is also home to carnivores such as caracal, panther and leopard.
Combining these experiences with the pinnacles of the "golden triangle" - Delhi, Agra & Jaipur - strikes the perfect balance between man-made and the natural wonders of this country.
