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 hotel in the evening and relax. Overnight: Hotel

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.
Overnight: 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:
Today 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.
