The Indian tigers are pretty popular throughout the world. So, there’s a lot of visitors every year to see them.
Recently, the Conservation Corporation of Africa is organizing eco-tours in India. These eco-tours have one object in mind: to get the tourists as close as possible to an Indian tiger. Currently, these tours are operated out of Bhandavgarh National Park in Madhya Pradesh.
The white tigers are the specialty of this region. This is a rare breed of tigers and tourists are very eager to check them out.
Where can you stay?
Even before you can get to the tiger resort, you might have to spend a night or two at a major city in India. For that you can stay at Taj hotel if you are up for a posh place. Once on the tour, you can chill at the Mahua Kothi during the tour.
This eco tour is done in collaboration with Taj holidays. The stay itself can cost you 115 USD to 125 USD.
What’s offered as a part of the tour?
If you are wondering what’s there besides tigers, here’s the answer. The Bhandhavgarh area offers the following:
Bhandavgarh fort: This ancient fort is supposed to be some 2000 years old. References of this fort has been made in the old India books.
At the Mahaman pond, you can check out plenty of wildlife who use this as their water source.
You can check out the three cave area as well. This is basically an ancient structure from the past.
Along with these, the few other places in the area are the Bandhaini Hillock View, Bari gufa, Bhitari Bah, etc.
Do keep in mind that different tour operators have different travel options and they can also be customized to suit your vacation.
The most interesting part of the eco tourism is that South African tour operators are allowed to operate in India. Ironically, Africans who should be going on wildlife safaris at home have to come to India to check out the tigers. I guess white tigers and certain species are not present in Africa. So, if you have time off from work and ready for a vacation come and check out these awe inspiring bone chilling animals.
