India causes a stimulation of our senses and is a country of stark contrasts: a plethora of vibrant colors, sweet smells of curry and coriander, deafening noise in the cities, silence and peace in the forest reserves, huge concentration of people during festivals or the empty deserts of Rajasthan. When traveling in India you will never experience a dull moment. India is one of the most fascinating, colorful, exciting and wildlife-rich countries in the world. During the 10 day long trip, Wild Focus will get you eye-to-eye with Bengal tigers in the wild and will lead you through narrow streets framed with blue-painted walls. You will find yourself walking on marble hallways inside the most beautiful tomb in the world, and on dusty streets through colorful spice markets. Every day will present you with an unforgettable Indian experience.
During our stay in Delhi we will have the opportunity for shopping and sightseeing. Or if you prefer you can relax in our beautiful hotel and recover from you long international flight.
A four to five hour drive in a private bus will take us to our next destination - Agra. Once we have settled in our luxurious hotel we will visit the majestic Agra Fort. It was the main residence of the emperors of the Mughal Dynasty till 1638, when the capital was shifted from Agra to Delhi. The Agra Fort is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is situated 2.5 km northwest of its more famous sister monument, the Taj Mahal. The fort can be more accurately described as a walled city. Our experienced guide will explain the colorful history of the fort including some interesting anecdotes about this giant structure. In the evening just before sunset we will gather on the back side of the Taj Mahal to view this world-famous structure from across the river. At sunrise the next morning we will enter the Taj Mahal through a massive sandstone gate and are suddenly standing in front of one of the greatest architectural wonders of this world . There are no words to describe the beauty and elegance of this building, the millions of intricate mosaics with a perfect fit, the delicate carvings, the perfect symmetry of the arches and the manpower, time and money involved in the construction of this mausoleum - a Mughal emperor's statement of love for his wife.
During the following 5 days we will explore one of India's greatest national parks in search of the most powerful cat on earth - the tiger. Ranthambhore, an old Maharaja's hunting reserve is a mix of historical buildings, lakes, mountains and forests inhabited not only by tigers but also by several deer species, leopard, sloth bear, monkeys, crocodiles and about 270 bird species. It is a nature lover's and photographer's paradise. The highest mountain is occupied by the Ranthambhore Fort, a massive structure that was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site.
