An Indian Safari and Andaman Islands Getaway

You've made it! After a smooth flight to India, you've finally touched down in Nagpur, the third largest city in the Indian state of Maharashtra. Once you've passed through immigration and collected your luggage, you'll be met by your driver and taken by private car transfer to the Pench National Park, the first stop on your Indian safari adventure...

Situated on the edge of the breathtaking Pench National Park, Baghvan, A Taj Safari is an exclusive safari lodge with only 12 bungalows. With a distinct colonial theme, the lodge boasts an opulent design whilst drawing inspiration from its beautiful natural surroundings. With a refreshing outdoor pool and Jiva spa treatments, you are guaranteed to feel revitalised after your daily safari drives. 

The Pench National Park takes much of its fame from Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, the beautiful setting inspiring the much-loved story of the orphan Mowlgi who was brought up in the jungle by wolves. 

With a wealth of unique flora and fauna, the Pench National Park makes for an ideal place to escape into nature and experience an exhilarating safari. On daily safari drives and nature trails conducted by expert naturalists, you'll encounter animals such as Indian leopards, sloth bears and monkeys in their natural habitat. With skies barely touched by light pollution, on your holiday you'll also enjoy a stargazing experience, learning about the North Star and Milky Way. 

You've really enjoyed your time in Pench National Park but you can't wait to visit the Kanha National Park, known for its vast tiger population. After being met by your private driver, you can sit back and enjoy the scenery as you make your way to the secluded Banjaar Tola, A Taj Safari, for nothing but exclusive luxury.

Beautifully nestled on the banks of the Banjaar River, the Banjaar Tola, A Taj Safari is a romantic jungle lodge boasting incredible safari experiences. Completely surrounded by nature, the lodge features an outdoor swimming pool, soothing Jiva Spa therapies and delicious Indian dishes so that you can really indulge in luxury. 

With an area of 940 km², the Kanha National Park is vast, spanning lush grasslands and dense forests. Situated in India's state of Madhya Pradesh, the national park is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna, from majestic birds of prey to over 70 species of tree.

During your stay, you'll embark on daily safaris at Banjaar Tola, A Taj Safari, spotting animals such as tigers, swamp deer, jackals, wild pigs and many more - make sure to take your camera as you'll want to make these memories last for a lifetime! For those interested in the culture of the region, your Luxury Travel Specialist can also include a visit to a tribal village on the edge of the Kanha National Park, where you can learn about the tribe's rich history and unique way of life. 

Your safari adventures have sadly come to an end but your time in India isn't over yet! After being picked up by your private driver, you'll be taken back to the airport in Nagpur where you'll enjoy a short flight to India's bustling capital city: New Delhi. Once you've landed and collected your luggage, you'll be taken by private car transfer to the Taj Palace.

Set amongst 6 acres of beautiful, lush gardens, the Taj Palace exudes luxury, its opulent and elegant interiors fit for royalty. An oasis in the city, the hotel is an ideal sanctuary in the heart of New Delhi, its outdoor swimming pool and signature spa treatments perfect for experiencing that much-needed 'me' time on your India holiday. 

New Delhi is where the past and the future collide, its glitzy financial district standing in stark contrast to Old Delhi, whose history dates back to 800 BCE. Bursting with life, New Delhi remains authentic to itself and is a city quite unlike anywhere else.

With two nights in New Delhi, we highly recommend you embark on an Old Delhi with Rickshaw and Food Tour, where you'll be able to experience the historic wonders of the city, such as the Red Fort and the Chandini Chowk street bazaar. Not only is New Delhi a feast for the senses but a literal feast, its street food some of the best in the country. Along with your expert guide, you can taste an array of local dishes brimming with flavour that will soon make your favourite Indian restaurant back at home pale in comparison. Your Luxury Travel Specialist can include this activity for you. 

Are you ready for a tropical island escape? After experiencing breathtaking safaris and a vibrant city break, you're now ready to hit the beach and sink back into the slow-pace of island life. After being taken to the airport by private car transfer, you'll board a flight to Port Blair, the capital city of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, where you'll enjoy 5 nights of true serenity. Once you've landed, you won't have to worry about a thing; you'll be met by your private chauffeur who will swiftly take you to the exclusive Jalakara Boutique Hotel.

Surrounded by a lush, tropical jungle, Jalakara Boutique Hotel is an exclusive hideaway on the beautiful Havelock Island in the Andaman Islands. With only a select number of rooms and villas, you'll really feel like a VIP as you take a swim in the secluded infinity pool looking across the jungle or feel rejuvenated with a traditional Indian head massage at the hotel's spa. 

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands remain little known on the world stage, their relative anonymity meaning they have escaped mass tourism, remaining pristine and untouched. A territory of India, these tropical islands are beautiful paradises  in the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea, and are known for their white-sand beaches, mangroves, rainforests and dazzling coral reefs.

Situated on Havelock Island, you'll be immersed in this lush wilderness, with beautiful beaches just a short drive away. We particularly recommend you visit the iconic Elephant Beach, famed for its once resident elephants who regularly frequented the waves. For avid snorkellers and scuba divers, you simply must explore the kaleidoscopic coral reefs of the region, spotting brightly-coloured fish such as the much adored clownfish and parrotfish! 

The Andaman Islands have been fantastic, but unfortunately your time here has come to an end! After being met by your private driver and taken to the airport, you'll board your flight back to New Delhi, where you'll spend one final night in the Taj Palace. The next day, you'll be taken by private car transfer to the airport for the flight back to the UK. As you take to the skies, you think back to all the memories you've made and look forward to your next adventure. Wherever you decide to go next, your Luxury Travel Specialist will be ready and waiting to organise your next luxury holiday.
