This premier birding journey combines with rich nuances of historical interest as you travel to Keoladeo National Park, Corbett National Park, Nimaj, Jodhpur, Jaipur, and Agra, the home of the legendary Taj Mahal.

You will visit Bharatpur, home of Keoladeo National Park, one of the great ornithological wetland wonders of the world. A birders' paradise for long, the historic park continues to attract birding enthusiasts from around the globe. Corbett National Park, in the Himalayan foothills, is India's oldest National Park and the first to come under the umbrella of the Project Tiger conservation programme. It is home to over 600 species of avifauna, apart from its fabulous wealth of wildlife including the Asiatic elephant, tigers, bears and leopards. With so much to see on the tour one can only make random example's of the tempting sighting these popular birding sites offer. Keep your eyes peeled for the Siberian Rubythroat, a Spotted Forktail or Altai Accentor browsing by a cool mountain brook. Check the swaying mustard fields for the lanky Sarus Cranes or an Orange-headed Thrush watching you from the undergrowth, or Scarlet Minivets darting through the forest canopy. Watch the first flush of a rosy dawn on the marble splendour of the Taj Mahal at Agra and again marvel at the flamingo-like hues on a snowy Himalyan peak at sunset. All this and more awaits you.
