A two-week expedition through one of India’s national parks begins and ends with the search for tigers. India once teemed with Bengal tigers, but thanks to trophy hunting of tens of thousands of them during the time of the Raj, tigers are now an endangered species. Poachers still threaten the diminishing populations.

Tigers are solitary animals who usually hunt at night and prefer to keep themselves concealed in the forest. An encounter with this elusive creature—if you are lucky enough to have one—brings an adrenaline rush of love and terror. Safaris in Ranthambhore National Park, Rajasthan, are by Jeep only, while elephants as well as Jeeps are used to get to the tigers in Bandhavgarh National Park, in the more central state of Madhya Pradesh.
You’ll see lions, rhinoceroses, sloth bears, Asian elephants, black buck, leopards and exotic deer such as chital, sambar and barasingha, but be prepared to see fewer animals than you would in Africa.
