Indian wildlife safari reviews.

I enjoyed my tour through India organised by Holidays At very much despite the train delays due mostly to fog. The local representatives/ drivers were very helpful and their service was appreciated in particular linked to the waiting resulting of the delays for the pick ups and also for the translation Hindi/English. I also appreciated the selection of hotels which Holidays At made for my stay. My focus was on wildlife viewing which I was able to do even though in December/ January you do not have the highest chances to see Tigers. I saw Royal Bengal Tigers on this tour and other wildlife! All in all it was a great tour and I recommend it.

I had to cancel the tour for personal reasons. This review is in praise of the thoughtful and understanding treatment that I received from Sunil at Alkof. He spend a lot of time explaining everything to me before and booked. Then, when I had to cancel, he was sympathetic and refunded my deposit. I've travelled a great deal and there are many tour operators who are untrustworthy. Alkof has shown itself to be honest and reliable.

Our family had a customized tour that included all three national parks for tiger safaris as well as the traditional golden triangle tour. We had 2 different drivers during the tour that picked us up at the airport or drove us to the next location. The drivers were always early, extremely friendly and helpful, and the cars were immaculate. We stayed at six different hotels that were picked out for us. They were all very nice and I would stay at them again. The guides at each location were very knowledgeable and friendly. The company itself stayed in contact with me throughout the trip to make sure I did not need anything. I would highly recommend this company. This tour was much more flexible and convenient than participating in a group tour where everyone has to keep up with a group pace.

When to go to India?

The best time to go to India will depend on the region you wish to go to, but if your focus is tracking tigers, it is best to travel during the drier periods between February and April, when rising temperatures increasingly draw predators and prey to fresh water sources. During monsoon season, July to September, most national parks are closed. Read more about when to go to India.

Where to Stay

India Wildlife

What to expect from a trip to India

Harriet was a great source of advice throughout the planning and the trip. We had many changex and she was patient and flexible in adjusting the itinerary. It was the second trip with her as the Specialist and it won’t be the last. Guides were great!! Loved the vibe and the excellent expertise. Thanks again for creating this memorable experience. Hotels were superb, luxurious but in time and with a local touch. Would have loved to stay longer in each of them.

Dealing with NWS is always a very easy and pleasant experience. You get it dead right for us each and every time we travel with you. We wouldn't even dream of using another agent ever again!

Harriet was fantastic to work with in putting together our dream trip. She turned around an incredibly quick and extraordinarily competitive itinerary for us when we had been let down elsewhere and managed all of our queries quickly and calmly. She was a pleasure to deal with and extremely helpful. This trip was a ten out of ten. We felt incredibly well looked after and utterly immersed in everything we saw. Fabulous local guides and naturalists at every turn ensured we took so much knowledge and appreciation home with us along with brilliant memories. The perfect introduction to this beautiful country. Did I mention we saw a tiger? We'd love to travel again with such brilliant destination information and on-the-ground teams combined with a competitively and sensibly priced approach.

Overall experience was magical and your whole team were very attentive and helpful. The guides were excellent and went above and beyond to make our trips and flights as easy and comfortable as possible. We were delighted with our entire experience!

We have always had excellent experiences with Natural World Safaris.

India Safari Holidays FAQs

Can you drink the water in india.

It is not advisable to drink tap water as the quality can vary, and visitors may not have the same immunity as locals to the bacteria and contaminants that could be present in the water. To avoid potential health risks, it's recommended to drink bottled water or water that has been properly purified or boiled. Many hotels and restaurants provide bottled or filtered water, and it's a good practice to use this water for drinking, brushing your teeth, and consuming ice. Additionally, be cautious with consuming raw vegetables and fruits that may have been washed in tap water. Staying hydrated is important, so ensure you have access to safe water sources during your stay in India.

What wildlife can I see in India?

India has over one hundred national parks to explore on your wildlife safari. Here are just a few of the magnificent animals you can expect to see:

• Bengal Tiger
• Indian Elephant
• Greater One-horned Rhino
• Snow Leopard

Check out our India wildlife guide for more information on the animals you can expect to see on an India safari.

Do you need a visa for India?

Most travellers to India require a visa to enter the country. India offers various types of visas, including e-Visas for certain nationalities that allow you to apply online before your trip. It's important to check the specific visa requirements and application process for your nationality and intended activities in India well in advance of your travel dates.

Is India safe for travel?

India can be a safe and enriching holiday destination, but travellers should exercise caution and be aware of their surroundings. Respect local customs, maintain good hygiene practices, and consume safe food and water. Purchase comprehensive travel insurance, avoid scams, choose reputable transportation, and stay informed about travel advisories. By being vigilant, culturally sensitive, and well-prepared, you can have a positive and memorable experience in India.

We look at climate change, tiger densities in each park and the seasonality of each key species – then put you in the right place, at the right time, with the right expert guide; to ensure you maximise your wildlife viewing in an ethical way.  Scroll down to our tours below to choose an India wildlife tour which best suits your own personal aspirations

We first visited for 3 months in 1997 and it has been a love affair ever since. We want to show you the real India, not just the famous cities which 90% of all tour companies include in their itinerary. This is not a country to be rushed; but slowly savoured like a good curry. Hop on a train, leave the hustle and bustle of the cities behind and experience the real India, by visiting the beautiful rural villages, which are often located next to tiger reserves, like Ranthambhore, Kanha and Bandhavgarh.

We are famous for insisting on longer stays in national parks and wildlife sanctuaries and personally visiting and checking every element of your safaris with our month long recce trips every year. Where else can you combine a Snow Leopard safari in the Himalayas, with Lions in Gujarat, tigers in central Indian and the magnificent Black Panther in the tropical jungles of the south. India is waiting for you and you could not be in better hands.

The Ultimate Guide to Tiger Safaris in India: Discover the Top 5 Places to Spot Tigers!

India is home to 75% of the remaining wild tigers on this planet, so this is the place to come for a tiger safari holiday. For those with a passion for wildlife photography, mammal watching, or simply the thrill of seeing these majestic creatures in their natural habitat, a tiger safari in India is an experience of a lifetime. This expert guide explores the best 5 places to see tigers in India, complete with pro travel tips and personal experiences to help you plan your ultimate tiger safari adventure to India.

Tigers, Tigers Everywhere – But Where to Go on Your Indian Tiger Safari?

We are undoubtedly in a golden period for wild tigers in India. We can say that with more than 20 years of experience visiting India’s tiger parks and having seen our first wild tiger in Ranthambhore national park way back in February 1997. Every wildlife photographers Facebook page seems to be adorned with yet more photographs of tigers with their cubs and tiger sanctuaries like Ranthambhore, Tadoba and Bandhavgarh have ‘too many tigers’ to sustain within the core and buffer areas of the main national park – so what does this mean for you, if you are currently planning your tiger safari in India?

4 Most Common Mistakes People Make on an Indian Tiger Safari

Every year we receive numerous emails from clients who have already booked flights and maybe part of an India tiger safari holiday; but did not prioritise booking the jeeps. They then realise when they try to book the game drives online that all of the main zones are sold out and they basically don’t have a viable option to enter the park.

A Mini Yala for Leopards in Southern Rajasthan, India

It was way back in 2004 that I first heard about the wild leopards of Bera, Rajasthan. I had been visiting many of India’s best wildlife sanctuaries since 1997 and I had enjoyed plenty of luck when it came to seeing tigers in the wild, but a sighting of the elusive Asian Leopard had eluded me. This in part can be explained by the obvious fact that leopards are very cautious around tigers, so a sighting inside the best tiger parks, such as Ranthambhore or Bandhavgarh would be very lucky indeed. In addition, leopards are much more nocturnal in their behaviour – when compared to tigers – so the reality is you are leaving the national parks, just when leopards are starting to be more active

Walking in the Footsteps of Jim Corbett

There are probably fewer iconic parks in India than Corbett; named after the legendary English hunter – turned photographer and conservationist – Jim Corbett. One of the first national parks in India to be given Project Tiger status and a place with so much wildlife and human history wrapped up in its origins, that a visit here just to hear about Jim Corbett; let alone see the wildlife tigers he helped conserve, is both enriching and fascinating at the same time.

India is blessed to be in a ‘golden period’ of tiger safari tourism; with more and more tiger reserves being run in a more professional manner and the number of tiger sightings increasing year on year. Here at Wildlife Trails we are lovers of all wildlife and like to encourage you to visit some of the Indian national parks which are ‘off the beaten track’.

Tiger and Leopard Safari in India and Sri Lanka – Which Parks to Visit?

Sadly when we first visited Sri Lanka back in 2002, the civil war that had torn the country apart for decades was still very much ongoing and national parks and wildlife sanctuaries in the North of the island were very much off-limits. While travelling around Sri Lanka I spoke directly with naturalists and leopard researchers who told be about the ‘golden days’ of Wilpattu national park; when it was the ‘go to’ place for seeing the biggest leopards in Asia.

Snow Leopard Tour in Ladakh India

It’s minus 20 degrees Celsius outside and I slip on my fleece lined North Face slippers and venture out. I am greeted by a Tolkienesque type scene outside our simple Ladakh homestay. A half-circle of mountains surrounds us and snow envelopes the hill sides like newly washed linen.

India Wildlife Tour – So Much More than Just Tigers

India Wildlife Tour - is a car and your own driver the best way to see India? After enjoying my first tiger safari in Ranthambhore way back in 1997, I can fully understand how this wonderous animal attracts so many people to take an India wildlife holiday.

India Tiger Safari, Ranthambhore – Is This the Best Park for Tigers?

Is Ranthambhore the best place for a tiger safari on your India wildlife holiday? One of the most common questions we get asked here at Wildlife Trails from people planning their India wildlife tour is ‘which is the best tiger sanctuary to visit?’.

My First Ever Tiger Safari in India!

Rewind to January 1997. I was 26 years old. My ‘round the world trip ticket ‘had been paid for, I was flying out to Nepal to attempt the Everest Base Camp Trek before flying on to Thailand to start my Padi diving course on the beautiful Island of Koh Samui; after that Lao, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Bali and a working visa in Australia.

Our Clients Say About Us

We had a 13 day tour to India, mostly wildlife as this was what we wanted and a little element of city & culture. Day in Delhi staying at the Imperial, apart from noisy traffic getting to the el it was an iconic place to be, so much hitory and staff who had been there 30yrs and proud of what they did. then onto 5 days at Ranthambor - 2 incredible Tiger sightings with so many other species, onto Agra and the Taj Mahal and then the Saptura National Park. Great time was taken in the planning, we were given lots of options as to how to make the trip up including time of year and how to maximize wildlife sighting.

Three weeks in India with the fantastic wildlife photographer and teacher, Trai Anfield, concentrating on finding and photographing tiger and leopard, as well as experiencing all the cultural ders of this extraordinary country. The trip exceeded all expectations. We stayed in a wonderful selection of safari lodges, tented camps, forts and palaces, experienced the food and customs of the regions, visited and spent time with the local people and were in Udaipur to celebrate the paint festival, Holi. Out of all the game drives we did over the three weeks, on only two did we return without having seen either tiger or leopard. A truly outstanding experience in every respect, made even more special by the dedication of Trai Anfield to make sure that her clients had the best possible tuition and opportunities to take the photograph of a lifetime. Excellent in every respect. Everything worked perfectly. The booking arrangements, information and assistance before the trip, local guides and local arrangements all worked extremely well and the trip content, compiled in collaboration with Trai Anfield, was outstandingly brilliant.

We have recently returned from a 16-night trip to India, organised by Wildlife Trails. It was a tailored trip, encompassing safari in Kaziranga and Corbett with city breaks in Mumbai, Kolkata and hi to catch some IPL cricket. Essentially we were on a 16-night, 5 centre itinerary, no more than 3 nights in any one location, involving many and varied transfers by road, rail and air. The chaos which characterises India, and is certainly part of its charm, can cause frustration for travellers – unless they are travelling with Wildlife Trails, who have partnered with ground agents in India who have the knack of short-circuiting the chaos and arriving everywhere with comfortable punctuality, every time. A thoroughly professional service, enabling our party of 4 to fully enjoy the wonderful experiences India has to offer. We had dedicated wildlife drivers/guides during our stays at both Kaziranga and Corbett – in both cases they were very friendly, we were very well looked after by them, and they greatly enriched our experience of the wildlife. We were blessed with tiger sightings at both Kaziranga (2 different tigers on 2 different days!) and Corbett – where we close enough to the tiger to consider it an encounter rather than a sighting. And Rhino galore (including being amongst a sizeable herd on elephant safari), and wild elephant galore, and deer, and monkeys, and fabulous birds. Accommodation at both National Parks was very good, as were the meals. During our city breaks we had guided tours of each city. Our guides were all punctual, very knowledgeable and friendly – our experience of all 3 cities was certainly enriched by our guides. The agents and drivers who assisted with our transfers to and from airports and railways stations were unfailingly polite and helpful – we were delivered to our seats on the train in Kolkata and met at the carriage door when we arrived 19 hours later in Delhi. Kirsty from Wildlife Trails worked with us over several iterations of our itinerary – always offering positive suggestions and responding promptly and fully to our questions. Putting the trip together with Wildlife Trail was a pleasure in itself – and I’m very happy and impressed to be able to say that everything went according to plan. We would all four have no hesitation in recommending Wildlife Trails to anyone considering a wildlife adventure in India.

WE had 2 nights in Delhi at Claridges, perfect as always, 3 nights at Kipling Camp,excellent staff, guide, rooms and best of all picnic by the river to bath the beautiful 'Tara' the phant. Went on to Bandhavgargh 'Bandhav Villas' where we have stayed 5 times, treated like Royalty, the rooms have been upgraded, 6* service and most of all 22 Tiger sightings including mother and 3 cubs, wild dogs and other wild life. What else can one ask for? We have used 'Wildlife Trails' now for at least 7 times. They are very knowledgeable, flexible, good listeners as to what you want to do/see, have really become our 'travel friends'. They arranged tours to India, Sri Lanka and Tanzania for us. They have give an excellent service and have good 'local partners' to be there for you.

It was a great itinerary that allowed us to see all the iconic and unique wildlife of India in the company of excellent guides, thoughtful drivers and accommodation hosts. In Gujarat we saw wild , birdlife including migrating bar headed geese, asiatic lions - which are not as easy to see as you might think and need persistence, Black buck, Indian wolf & jungle cat with leopard, tiger and a very fast moving sloth bear in Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. The accomodation was excellent particularly Blackbuck Lodge @ Velavadar and Reni Pani @ Saptura and everywhere had top notch hospitality. Travel was by car, train and plane - travelling in India takes some acclimatisation but the drivers and meet & greet guides were very professional and made it as easy as they could! overall it was a well put together holiday which flowed and allowed us to experience India and Indian wildlife at its best. Very efficient and put together; a well thought through itinerary.

Meet the Expert

Start your journey, example safari itineraries, our favourite safari locations, kanha national park.

Based in the Maikal mountain range of Satpuras in Madhya Pradesh, also home to the Pench National Park and Bandhavgarh National Parks,  Kanha National Park is a destination celebrated for its high density of tigers. Covering an area of 940 square kilometres, this national park is most notable in popular culture for being mentioned in Rudyard Kipling's  The Jungle Book . For anybody familiar with the story but have never seen this national park, you can get an idea of what to expect: a captivating blend of picturesque landscapes, diverse ecosystems, and a lot of wildlife!

Kanha is renowned for its density. With tall trees that grow up to a height of 100 feet (approximately 30 metres), thick bamboo forests, and lush green fields of tall grass, there is so much to explore. Home to a wide variety of wildlife, you can expect to see leopards, a variety of birds, wild dogs, and barasingha deer, also known as the swamp deer. 

Known for its distinctive antlers, the name "barasingha" has Hindi origin and means “12-antlered deer,” it is a highly sociable deer and is listed as an endangered species. In fact, Kanha played a key role in saving the barasingha from extinction through various conservation methods, increasing the population from about 60 to an estimated 800, making it the only place in the world where the barasingha swamp deer can be seen in the wild, and it's not uncommon for you to see herds of 10 to 20 deer roaming the fields and meadows of the park! And the watering holes add serenity to the vibrant jungle, creating the perfect positions to observe wildlife. 

Kanha National Park provides an unforgettable tiger safari in India.

TADOBA NATIONAL PARK

Tadoba National Park, also known as the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve, is the largest and oldest national park in Maharashtra and is spread across 626 square kilometres in the Chandrapur district, approximately 150 kilometres from Nagpur, the third-largest city in the state. 

This park showcases the rich biodiversity of the region in all of its glory. The dense woodlands are home to a variety of wildlife, including a diverse bird population, crocodiles, sloths, leopards, and the majestic tiger. The lush flora alone is dominated by a variety of mango, mahua, bamboo, teak, and sal trees, offering a perfect picturesque setting for your safari exploration.

It is a prime opportunity to witness the iconic Indian bison known as gaurs, the largest extant bovine known for its massive build, strong stature, and distinctive high grey ridge on its forehead between the horns. A relative of domestic cattle, the gaur is a prominent and iconic species in this location with the distinct characteristic of using high whistles to warn other members of the herd of approaching danger.

With a history dating back to 184 BC, Tadoba is an intriguing mixture of culture, mythology, and nature, which only adds to its allure. A rich amalgamation of culture, mythology, and nature with many historical landmarks in the forest landscape, it is a great place to observe wildlife, flora, and its rich biodiversity.

RANTHAMBORE NATIONAL PARK

Ranthambore National Park is situated about 14 kilometres from the Sawai Madhopur district of eastern Rajasthan and is a renowned wildlife destination known for its diverse flora and fauna. Named after the historic Ranthambore Fort located within its boundaries, this park boasts a rich history dating back to the year 1955 when it was established as the Sawai Madhopur Game Sanctuary. It was declared a national park in 1980 after becoming a Project Tiger reserve in 1973 with the aim of protecting the endangered Bengal tigers.

The park covers approximately 1,334 square kilometres and is characterised by the largest stretch of Anogeissus pendula (Dhok) forest in the whole of India. Ranthambore is home to a variety of wildlife, including Bengal tigers, hyenas, leopards, sloth bears, crocodiles, and over 300 species of birds. The lush flora includes 539 species of flowering plants that create a beautiful backdrop for your safari adventure. 

While notably smaller in comparison to other reserves, this only increases the chances of tiger sightings, making it a prime location for tiger safaris in India, and Reni Pani, a popular wildlife lodge, provides an amazing base to explore all the wonders Ranthambore has to offer. An amazing blend of history, nature, and wildlife, it is a must-visit destination for wildlife lovers and nature enthusiasts alike.

SATPURA NATIONAL PARK

Satpura National Park , based in the Satpura Range of Hoshangabad district in Madhya Pradesh, is a testament to India's ongoing commitment to preserving diverse ecosystems. Covering a vast area of 1,427 square kilometres, Satpura National Park is known for its rugged terrain, deep valleys, sandstone peaks, and a huge network of rivers and rivulets.

In addition to its wonderful scenery, it's home to a huge variety of wildlife, including mammals such as sloth bears, wild boars, spotted deer, porcupines, smooth otters, and Indian giant squirrels, as well as over 300 species of birds and reptiles, including various species of snakes, marsh crocodiles, turtles, and Indian chameleons. And as the park's diverse flora features trees such as sal, teak, bamboo, and various medicinal plants, Satpura National Park has a stunning biodiversity on offer and is a veritable paradise for wildlife enthusiasts.

With a variety of options for safari on foot, in vehicles, as well as on elephant and boat safaris, allow visitors to explore the park's diverse terrain in the way they see fit, and the park's water sources, such as the Denwa River, create picturesque scenes and natural gathering spots for wildlife.

Satpura provides unique sightings all year round, with the summers being fantastic for seeing wildlife in their habitat, with winters also boasting their own mystical charm too! The peak times to visit are between the months of October and June, offering a serene and naturally spoiled environment to explore.

Best time to visit india national parks.

• 01 Wildlife Safari
• 02 Tiger Sighting
• 03 Bird Watching

India is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers, offering a plethora of national parks and tiger reserves. From 1st October to June, India's doors open wide to the world of wildlife tourism. During these months, the country's diverse landscapes - spanning from the chilly northern regions to the warm southern coasts, and from the lush eastern forests to the rugged western terrains - become a hotspot for jungle safaris.

The weather conditions during this period are most favorable for exploring, and every national park and tiger reserve in India is ready to welcome wildlife enthusiasts. It's the perfect time to embark on a journey through India's rich natural heritage, witnessing the majestic beauty that resides within its boundaries.

The majesty and allure of the tiger, India's iconic big cat, have drawn wildlife enthusiasts from around the world for decades. While these magnificent creatures inhabit various national parks and tiger reserves throughout India, the optimal time for sighting them is during the warmer months of April to June. During this period, the scorching heat causes water bodies within the reserves to shrink, prompting tigers to frequently visit the few remaining waterholes. Such predictability increases the chances of spotting them.

The foliage is less dense too, making the orange and black stripes of the tiger stand out amidst the golden-brown landscapes. Parks like Ranthambhore, Bandhavgarh, and Kanha become bustling hubs for photographers and nature lovers during these months. Venturing on a safari during this window not only heightens the chance of a tiger encounter but also immerses visitors in the rich tapestry of Indian wildlife. So, for an unforgettable tiger experience, time your visit to these peak months.

India is a paradise for bird enthusiasts, offering a rich tapestry of avian wonders. For those seeking the ultimate birding experience in India, the months between November and March are the prime season for bird watching. During this period, resident birds display vibrant activities, and migratory species from Central Asia and Europe flock to India, enhancing its allure.

Embarking on a bird-watching tour during these cooler months allows enthusiasts to witness an array of colorful and exotic species in all their splendor. Popular birding sanctuaries in India, such as Keoladeo National Park in Bharatpur, Nal Sarovar Bird Sanctuary, and Sultanpur National Park, become bustling hubs of activity. The serene mornings, accompanied by melodious calls echoing in the crisp air, amplify the bird-watching experience. Plan your visit to capture the avian magic of India at its finest.

Amazing Jungle Safari Experience at Ranthambore National Park

We used Tour My India to visit Ranthambore National Park. Our contact person was Mr Naveen who was very thorough in answering my questions and providing information before and during our tour. Our driver to and from Jaipur was Mr Vikas. Driving in India can be a little wild, so we appreciated his safe driving. Our train out of Jaipur was later in the evening, so Mr Naveen arranged with Mr Vikas to take us to a restaurant for lunch and then be available to take us to the station. We appreciated this extra care attention to what we needed! Although we did not get to see any tigers, we did enjoy our visit to Ranthambore National Park!

Nice experience....

Tour of Do Dham - Yamunotri & Gangotri for 7 days from 10.05.22 to 16.05.22 Overall arrangements were very good. Our Darshan of both Yamunotri & Gangotri was very nice. Hotels arranged were good. Mr. MANAVENDRA of Tour My India coordinated the entire tour very nicely & he was kind enough to meet us personally at Dehradun.

Jammu and Kashmir along with Leh Ladakh

We are Tour My India's repeat customers. We just love to deal with Manvendra and we find him and his suggestions really genuine and trust worthy. We recently toured the entire of J and K along with Leh Ladakh. It is tailor made for our requirements. Manvendra ensured that the vacation stayed with in our budget. There were absolutely no hiccups and we thoroughly enjoyed the trip all along. I will definitely start planning my next trip with Tour My India guided by Manvendra.

India isn't just a country, it's a feeling

Explore fairy tale forts, marvel at the Himalayas, sleep on houseboats and search for tigers in steamy jungles

India isn’t just a country, it’s a feeling. One that you’re going to want to grasp with both hands and never let go. It’s a place where souls are stirred and senses are heightened, where those who embrace the unexpected are rewarded with evocatively rich experiences and enough stories to last a lifetime.

A land of myth and legend where tigers hide in jungles, temples are made of gold, and cows compete with cars for space on the highways, India is as diverse as it is mysterious. Colourful cities entice with their heritage and vibrant bazaars; iconic trains chug past lush tea plantations and golden beaches; and boatmen wave as they paddle their crafts through sleepy backwaters. It’s a lot to take in, but it’s a pleasure to try.

Stretching from the mighty snow-laden peaks of the Himalaya in the north, to tropical forests in the south; and from vast sandy deserts in the west to remote tribal regions in the east, India is a destination that will make you believe in magic. Linger on the roof terraces of crumbling fortresses, knowing that the ancient stones beneath your feet bear witness to the rise and fall of many a kingdom. Cruise down the holy River Ganges and contemplate life that has little changed over the centuries. And when you’ve had enough excitement for the day, indulge in deliciously diverse local dishes for dinner, before drifting gently off to sleep in traditional palaces, jungle camps and wooden houseboats, dreaming of the possibilities that dawn will bring.

When to go to india.

Find out the best time to visit India with our month by month guide.

January is a great option for sightseeing in the north, days are clear and warm with minimal fog in the mornings. During this month, southern India provides a warm, sunny escape - properties in Kerala can fill quickly. If all that wasn't enough, visitors can experience some of the best mountain views in the Himalaya's - but you'll need to wrap up warm!

• Kite Festival in Gujarat
• Bikanar Camel Festival in Rajasthan
• Republic Day 26th January

February sees all the fog clearing in Northern states and it is regarded as one of the best months to travel as the whole country is warm and sunny. Visiting Delhi and the Golden Triangle are amazing during February and March, October and November but you will experience crowds at these popular sites.

One of the more popular months to travel, March is great for both weather conditions and cultural experiences, including Holi celebrating the victory of good over evil. If you're looking to go hiking, March is perfect in the Western Ghats. Visiting Delhi and the Golden Triangle is amazing during February and March, October and November but you will experience crowds at these popular sites.

• Holi Festival - world famous paint throwing celebration.

April sees temperatures sore country-wide, making it one of the driest and best months to go elephant and tiger spotting. As daytime temperatures can reach over 40 degrees we recommend excursions based in the mornings and evenings.

Temperatures and humidity continue to rise in May, reaching 45 degrees, which can make it uncomfortable. But wildlife viewings continue to be at their best as animals search for water sources.

From June, Ladakh is accessible offering incredible scenery and a complete contrast to the rest of India. Days are warm and bright, but you will need to pack layers for added warmth.

We recommend not travelling to Southern India and the Himalayas as humidity is high and thunderstorms are frequent as the country awaits the monsoon season.

Much like June, July offers incredible views across Ladakh whilst elsewhere monsoon season rains are imminent.

August is the perfect time to cruise along the Ganges thanks to the monsoon and its increased water levels.

September marks the end of the monsoon season and weather can still be unsettled across the country. If you're looking for good value travel, there can be some good deals in Rajasthan. Travel to Ladakh comes to a close as the season ends.

October is peak travel season, the rains end and the north of the country is warm. Visiting Delhi and the Golden Triangle is amazing during October and November but you will experience crowds at these popular sites.

• Mahatma Ghandi's birthday is celebrated on the 2nd October and is a national holiday.
• Diwali, the ancient Hindu festival of lights dazzles and illuminates the sky.

November is one of the best months to travel anywhere in India. Visiting Delhi and the Golden Triangle is amazing in November but you will experience crowds at these popular sites.

Southern India is sunny and warm in December, making it a popular option for yuletide celebrations. If you want to delve into northern culture, daytime temperatures as beautiful, however mornings and evenings can be cold and sometimes foggy.

Where to go on safari in India

There’s no doubt that ranthambore national park is the most popular place to go on safari in india . but venture further afield and you’ll find a more intimate and authentic safari experience in lesser-known national parks. here is our guide to the best safari spots in india., bandhavgarh national park.

A former royal hunting ground turned national park in 1968, Bandhavgarh in Madhya Pradesh is one of India’s smaller national parks at 448 square miles. Amazingly, despite its history of hunting, Bandhavgarh has one of the highest densities of Bengal tigers in the country, making it a popular alternative to Ranthambore for those with the elusive striped predators at the top of their checklist. There are around 22 mammal species including the common langur, sloth bear, striped hyena and leopard, plus over 250 species of birdlife – so there’s plenty to keep an eye out for.

Where to stay - Just 20 minutes from the park entrance, Taj Mahua Kothi is the epitome of safari luxe. Nothing is too much trouble; you’ll have your own butler and you can choose to have dinner whenever and wherever you please. It’s also wonderfully intimate with just 12 jungle huts.

Kanha National Park

If you want to relive your childhood fantasy of being Mowgli and make friends in the jungle (at a safe distance, of course), there’s no better place than Kanha National Park – the original inspiration for The Jungle Book. In a playground of bamboo forests, meadows and towering sal trees, it’s easy to be enraptured by enchanting scenes of chital, dainty Bambi-esque white-spotted deer, male peacocks and their sweeping vivid plumes and the larger barasingha, a swamp deer that was saved from extinction thanks to conservation efforts in Kanha. It’s a good bet if you’re after a sighting of the mighty Shere Khan, too.

Where to stay - Taj Banjaar Tola exudes rustic luxury in a 90-acre private concession close to Kanha, complete with flawless Taj service. Its 18 tented suites are all slightly elevated to change the environment as little as possible, and each has a deck looking out to the peaceful Banjaar River and forest beyond.

Pench National Park

Two hours from the city of Nagpur, Pench National Park is one of India’s lesser-visited parks on the border of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. It’s smaller than most at 293 square miles and it’s home to a famous tigress. Collarwali has given birth to seven litters and 26 cubs in total. It’s said to be the highest recorded number of tiger cubs given birth in the wild, and visitors can keep a keen eye out for the Queen of Pench and her cubs. Among these fierce cats, there’s plenty of wildlife to spot in Pench including herds of gaur (Indian bison), sambar deer and over 260 bird species like the vivid blue greater racket-tailed drongo.

Where to stay - At Pench Tree Lodge , you can stay in one of the six treehouses, each kitted out with air-conditioning, a canopied four poster bed and a deck area that keen birders will love.

Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve

Relatively unheard of outside of India and set in beautiful forest, Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve has only recently seen a rise in popularity. Encompassing Tadoba National Park and Andhari Game Sanctuary, this is the largest and oldest tiger reserve in Maharashtra. You’ll have a decent chance of spotting a tiger within the 45-square-mile Tadoba National Park where there are around 70 resident tigers, as well as leopard, sloth bear, gaur and wild dogs. Tadoba remains open all year round (closed only on Tuesdays), so those looking for a safari between July and October won’t miss out. Just be wary of sweltering heat between April to June and heavy rains between July and September.

Where to stay - Svasara Jungle Lodge is family-run, and a mere 300 metres from Kolara Gate. There are 12 simple and modern-style suites, a library and a central Teak House which doubles as the restaurant and cinema showing documentaries on Tadoba.

Satpura National Park

Want off-the-beaten-track? Satpura has a different feel to most national parks. The terrain is hillier; there’s an abundance of water, which means you can go on a river safari; and it’s much quieter than most parks. Tiger viewing can prove trickier here, but Satpura’s diverse wildlife is arguably underrated. It’s leopards that are more likely to make an appearance and, besides, a much awaited sighting of a sloth bear, Malabar giant squirrel or wild crocodile is a rewarding treat in itself. It’s an interesting option for those who’ve been on an India safari before, or in combination with another national park.

Where to stay - Unplug and embrace nature at Reni Pani , a standout hotel that gets rave reviews for its exceptional service and breathtaking natural setting. The hotel has 12 beautifully decorated cottages and four luxury tents. There’s no television or internet; instead, there’s grazing deer, Hanuman langurs and countless birds to look out for from your private deck.

Luckily for those in the Midwest, four of the publication's top five amusement parks are located in the region, including all of the top three.

Topping the list was Holiday World & Splashin' Safari, located in Santa Claus, Indiana, outranking all of the other top five parks in terms of affordability.

To determine a park's affordability score, HomeToGo calculated a score for each park's ticket price, parking price and nearby nightly vacation rental price.

Each park's attraction score was determined by the number of active roller coasters and other active attractions at each park.

Holiday World posted an affordability score of 28.56 and an attractions score of 15.65, leading to an overall score of 44.21, topping the 42.67 scored by Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio.

Ranking in third with a total score of 41.85 was the Chicago area's own Six Flags Great America , which tallied a 23.50 affordability score and an 18.35 attractions score.

The only park not in the Midwest to crack the top five was Hersheypark in Hershey, Pennsylvania, ranking fourth with a score of 41.49.

Rounding out the top five was Adventureland, located in Altoona, Iowa. Boasting dozens of attractions and seven roller coasters, the park scored a 41.43.

HomeToGo also ranked parks across the country based on only affordability, for those prioritizing budget on their vacations this summer.

Among those, Holiday World was the lone Midwest park to make the top five, ranking third behind Six Flags Frontier City in Oklahoma and Fun Spot America Orlando in Florida.

Rounding out the top five in affordability were Wild Adventures in Valdosta, Georgia and Six Flags America in Bowie, Maryland.
