India’s Tiger Reserves & Wildlife Sanctuaries Holidays

For many people, a visit to India wouldn’t be complete without the opportunity to see the nation’s most magnificent animal – the Bengal tiger. India is home to 70% of the world’s remaining tiger population and whilst the species remains endangered, the country has made huge strides in their conservation over recent years.

No day is ever the same when you're on a tiger safari. Whilst the daily routine may be similar, your wildlife experience will be dictated by the natural rhythms of the jungle - that's the most exciting part! Read our short guide as to what to expect.

Aside from tigers, India offers an incredibly diverse range of wildlife. Other stars of the show include leopards, elephants, sloth bears, Indian bison and the one-horned rhino. There are even lions! And with almost 2,000 bird species, the country is a bird watchers paradise.

With national parks, wildlife sanctuaries and tiger reserves dotted across the country, adding a game drive or some wildlife viewing is possible on most of our itineraries. We’ve detailed some of the best areas to visit here, though if you have somewhere else in mind, give us a call and speak to one of our expert travel consultants.

Trailfinders offers a wide range of India holidays and we have a dedicated team of destination specialists who are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to visit multiple reserves to maximise your sightings or just focus on one, enjoy a short tiger extension from Delhi or Mumbai, or simply spend several days relaxing in the peaceful rural settings that our wildlife lodges offer - they are the perfect people to ask.
