Just 176 km from Delhi is a very special wilderness - the Keoladeo
Ghana National Park, one of the finest water-bird sanctuaries in the world. The
Maharaja of Bharatpur artificially created the lake and wetland in the 19th century.
By building small dykes and dams and diverting water from an irrigation canal,
he converted this low-lying area into a fine wild fowl shooting preserve. In a
few years, the new wetland surrounded by marginal forests was able to support
thousands of water birds. Return to the lodge in the evening and relax. Overnight:

TAJ MAHAL: Little needs
to be said about this architectural wonder which is always the soul raison-de-etre
for every tourist's visit to Agra. Built by Shah Jahan, the Taj is a white marble
memorial to his beautiful wife Mumtaz Mahal. This monument took 22 years to be
completed and was designed, and planned by Persian architect Ustad Isa. Apart
from it's stunning design balance and perfect symmetry, the Taj is also noted
particularly for its elegant domes, intricately carved screens and some of the
best inlay work ever seen. Transfer to station for train to UMARIA.

will be on train.
Day 07: Arrive at Bandavgarh
Reach UMARIA
and transfer to Bandavgarh.
Bandavgarh is justifiably famous for its Tigers,
but it has a wide range of other game. The undergrowth is not as dense as in some
northern terai forests, but the best time to see the park inhabitants is still
the summer months when water becomes more scarce and the undergrowth dies back.
A full day game viewing inside the jungle.
Overnight: Hotel
Day
08: Bandavgarh
A full day game viewing inside the jungle.
Trip to
the Bandavgarh Fort: The oldest fort in India - considered to be more than 2500
years. One-hour trek up the fort is worth the effort. The charm of this trek lies
in discovering these monuments in the jungle, unspoiled and unexplored. Some of
the statues lie off the main path and so it is best to take a guide. Apart from
the avatars, well worth seeing are three small temples of around the 12th century.
Overnight: Hotel
Day 09: Bandavgarh - Kanha
After breakfast
drive to Kanha.
This is the place that has been described by RUDYARD KIPLING
in his great book "The Jungle Book". Located in the Mandla district
of Madhya Pradesh, Kanha National Park is a tiger reserve that extends over an
area of over 940 square km. A horseshoe shaped valley bounded by the spurs of
the Mekal presents an interesting topography. Steep rocky escarpments along the
edges offer breathtaking views of the valley. Realizing the danger on the Tiger
population in the country, the Government started the "Project Tiger"
at Kanha and in 1974 the area was declared a Tiger reserve. The park is also the
habitat of the high ground Barasingha.
