From the towering Himalayas to tropical jungles of teak and rosewood, the sub-continent of India is forever fascinating. India is synonymous with masses of humanity, languid rivers, and ancient carved temples and gilded palaces. Even so, one cannot separate India from its wildlife. India's mythology, art and folklore celebrate nature. This is an unforgettable opportunity to glimpse some of India's most prized fauna and flora in their pristine surrounds. Itinerary includes the modern capital Delhi; search for the elusive Tiger in the National Parks of Pench, Kanha, Bandhavgarh and Satpura; the intricacy of art at Sanchi Stupa and Bhojpur Temple; and finally, Taj Mahal, a poem in marble, built by Emperor Shah Jehan in an act of love.
