Kaziranga and Sunderban Tour

Overview

This itinerary begins with a two-night stay in Delhi, where you’ll see places like Raj Ghat, Mahatma Gandhi’s monument, and the magnificent Red Fort, which was erected by Mughal Emperor Shahjahan to provide the ultimate introduction to Indian tradition and culture. The next day, we catch a flight for Guwahati, the northeastern state capital of Assam. Kaziranga National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the subcontinent’s best wildlife sites, is located in this otherwise little-known region, which is noted for its tea plantations. You’ll spend three days here, going on a series of game drives, including one on elephant back, to search for one-horned rhinos (Kaziranga is home to nearly two-thirds of the world’s rhino population), tigers, and other stunning animals amid the lush grassland. A boat journey gives you the chance to see the uncommon Gangetic dolphins.

Sunderbans National Park, located 500 kilometers southwest of Kolkata in the enormous wetlands of the Ganges delta, is heavily covered in mangrove forests and serves as a haven for a large population of Bengal Tigers. You’ll sail by boat into this distant water realm and spend two nights in a forest cabin to really immerse yourself in the outdoors. Our journey comes to a close in Kolkata, the country’s preeminent intellectual center. You’ll spend a day seeing this intriguing Bengali city, India’s second-largest, with trips to the enigmatic Kali temple, which was erected to honor Goddess Kali, and the lovely Victoria Memorial, which is now a museum dedicated to Queen Victoria’s memory.
