Tigers in the wild
This ended up as a solo trip because a family member was unable to go. The trip consisted of three days each in the Pench, Kanha, and Bandhavgarh tiger reserves, with brief stays in New Delhi on each end.

We started in Chennai and ended in Udaipur
15 tigers and a leopard and a sloth bear
Neeraja at Nature Safari India arranged everything just as we asked, and was available via WhatsApp for any questions while we were on safari. All the transfers were very smooth (Jabalpur to Bandhavgarh to Kanha to Pench to Nagpur) and the IndiGo flights were also booked by them. Would use them again in a heartbeat.
