Tiger Trail — Ranthambore & Bandhavgarh tour package — 6N/7D itinerary, price and inclusions

A two-park tiger safari that pairs Rajasthan's Ranthambore with Madhya Pradesh's Bandhavgarh — the latter known for one of the highest tiger densities in India — with the UNESCO temples of Khajuraho as a cultural break en route. Across six nights you take two safaris at each park (shared canter or gypsy), with all park entry, permits, guide and camera fees included, plus daily breakfast and dinner at 4-star jungle resorts (a premium lodge upgrade is available). Honest note: tiger sightings are never guaranteed even in prime reserves, and zones/dates are allotted by the forest department, so flexibility helps; parks usually close on certain days and during the monsoon. With double the safaris and two distinct habitats, this circuit gives serious wildlife enthusiasts a strong chance of a sighting. starting at INR 60,000 per person. Covers Delhi 1N, Ranthambore 2N, Khajuraho 1N, Bandhavgarh 2N.
