While India is well known for its historic holy sites, grand palaces and lively, colourful cities, the country has another important dimension in its rich natural world. Our luxury safari holidays in India give you the best of all worlds, showing you the gems of India nature without compromising on comforts.

Premium guided Indian safari tours take you to places like the Sundarbans. Translating as “beautiful forest”, this mangrove-rich reserve abutting the Bay of Bengal certainly lives up to its name. As well as being home to the Bengal tiger, macaques and pangolins among many other mammals, it hosts multiple species of reptiles, including crocodiles and snakes.

Many 5-star cultural tours in India take a break from cultural wanderings to visit top safari venues such as Ranthambore National Park. Besides the star attraction of the majestic Bengal tiger, sightings of sloth bears, langurs and over 300 bird species, including eagles, parakeets and kingfishers, are all on the agenda.

Across the border in Nepal lies the Chitwan National Park, where vehicle, walking and canoe safaris are all offered as way of enjoying the landscapes and wildlife, which includes one-horned rhinos as well as big cats and a huge array of colourful bird species.
