This tour gives you the chance of seeing three of the Subcontinent’s magnificent big cats on one memorable journey. This tour begins in the Gir National Park in Gujarat, the last home of the Asiatic lion, before moving to Bandhavgarh to search for the Royal Bengal Tiger. Finally, journey south to look for leopard in Pench. In addition to the big cats, the parks are a haven for birds and many other species of wildlife. Though wildlife viewing can never be guaranteed, from our own experiences in these parks we would be very surprised if you did not have sightings of all three of the big cats.

Set in the heart of Kipling’s India, Bandhavgarh is truly the best place for seeing one of the most endangered cats on the planet, the Royal Bengal Tiger. Mythology has it that Bandhavgarh was gifted to Laxman by his elder brother Lord Ram, the legendary hero of Ramayan, thus named "Bandhu-garh" meaning brother's fort. A beautiful combination of hills and meadows, dominated by the sheer massif of the Bandhavgarh plateau, the park provides one of the best, unspoilt environments for tigers in the world. You will have ten days exploring here by means of open jeep and elephant. Of the five ranges in the park, the 105 km2 Tala range will be the focal point of the tour.

British anglers of the Raj came in pursuit of the Trout and Salmon but found a creature that far surpassed other fish as a fighter - the Mahseer or The Large Headed One. It spawned an entire clan of adventurers (including the legendary Jim Corbett), who would travel to far-flung areas of the country just to battle with the mighty Mahseer.
