A 13 day tour is a complete wildlife tour which covers the Sasan Gir National Park – famous for Asiatic Lions, Kanha National Park – famous for Bengal Tiger and Kaziranga for one horned Rhino and herds of wild elephants. This tour is a delight for wildlife enthusiasts. Arrive into Delhi to travel to Diu via Mumbai and drive onto Sasangir. Gir National Park is the only remaining habitat of the Asiatic Lion. Wildlife viewing in the Gir is best done, by driving around the forest. The best drives from Sasan are, to Baval Chowk and Kankai, to Chodavdi and Tulsishyam, and to Kamaleshwar dam. Spend 02 nights in Gir and drive onto Diu for flight to Nagpur via Mumbai. Drive onto Kanha National Park from Nagpur where you spend 02 nights. Kanha is situated in the sylvan surroundings of Satpura Hill ranges and houses sloth bear, wild boar, musk shrew, blue bull, sambar deer, palm squirrel and many more and more than 150 species of birds.
Drive to Nagpur for flight to Guwahati for your onward travel to Kaziranga National Park which lies on the banks of the mighty Brahmaputra River. The vast open country makes Kaziranga very accessible and wildlife viewing fairly pleasurable. One could see wild elephant herds roaming around or rhinos browse past visitors unconcernedly. The wild buffalo is another attraction of the reserve and again there are over 600 of these in the reserve. The mouse deer, the hog deer, barking deer, chinkara gazelle, bears, leopards, leopard cat, wild boars and the gaur are to be found here besides a variety of the primate family.
