Experience
Shared by the TravellerI am a nature lover and love to be with nature.
Touring India was in my mind from quite a long time. This year, I had a long
vacation and so thought of visiting India. Jim Corbett Rajasthan with Other
Indian Wild Life Tour was something I was actually looking for which gave me
lot of exposure to the great wildlife of India habitat in vrious national
parks. I should say, the wild life of India has a significant presence among
the preserved wildlife all around the world. So, I opted the India Wild Life
Programme package tour to have a true encounter with the wild life of India.
This tour, gave me all what I was basically looking for, wildlife safari,
jungle resorts, cultural heritage of India. However, it is the immense
support and care of the tour operators that made this adventurous tour
completely safe and sound. In this context, I thank them for all their
efforts. Being in the jungles of India at times was very scary, as I often
frequented seeing tigers and wild boars from jeeps and on elephant backs. I
still remember that once in Corbett, a tiger was starring into my eyes and
started to approach towards me. But, my elephant coach drag the elephant
away from the tiger. But, besides the hoary beasts of the wild, it was also
very fascinating to be at Kumarakom Bird Sanctuary and to watch the pretty
sweet birds, play with the waters in the lake along with fishing in the same
lakes. I would definitely like to add that India Wild Life Programme tour is
one tour I would always embark upon, if I ever get the chance to visit India
again in my life.
