Detailed itinerary

Arrive in India’s dynamic capital, where Mughal grandeur meets modern energy. Settle into your hotel, prepare for the adventure ahead, or explore Delhi’s rich heritage, bustling markets, and culinary delights at your own pace.

The journey shifts into the emerald world of Assam as you travel to Kaziranga, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famed for its thriving population of One-horned Rhinos. Dawn and dusk safaris reveal vast floodplains alive with Elephants, Water Buffalo, deer, and an astonishing array of birdlife. At times, the tall elephant grass parts to reveal something even rarer — the Golden Tiger, a mesmerizing color morph that has made headlines in recent years. The Brahmaputra River frames this wilderness, adding depth and drama to every scene.

Ranthambhore blends natural beauty with the echoes of Rajasthan’s royal past. Each safari takes you through lakes, crumbling temples, and the shadow of the thousand-year-old fort while offering world-class opportunities to photograph Bengal Tigers. Leopards, Sloth Bears, Jackals, and a diversity of bird species add richness to the landscape. Your stay balances thrilling wildlife encounters with the region’s warm hospitality and luxurious comfort.

The final chapter unfolds in the western dry forests of Gir—the only place on Earth where Asiatic Lions still roam free. Their presence is powerful and unmistakable, transforming each safari into an intimate glimpse into the life of a species saved from the brink. Alongside lions, Gir offers sightings of Leopards, Hyenas, and diverse herbivores moving through teak and acacia woodlands. This concluding segment ties together India’s Big 5 in a way no other journey can.

Travel back to Mumbai and departure.

This expedition tells a story written across India’s wild heartlands. It begins in the saturated greens of Assam, where rhinos graze along riverbanks and herds of elephants move through misty grasslands. From this fertile floodplain, the trail carries you into the legendary tiger kingdom of Ranthambhore, where history and wilderness merge—ruins whispering tales of ancient dynasties while tigers glide through the forest with quiet mastery. The journey culminates in Gir, the last stronghold of the Asiatic Lion, whose survival stands as one of conservation’s greatest triumphs. Together, these landscapes create a rare and powerful narrative: India’s Big 5, experienced in their native realms across a single seamless journey.
