One of the biggest wild cats alive today, the Bengal tiger is India's national animal and an absolute must-see on a magical India tour.
During Good Housekeeping's exclusive 12-day small group tour, you'll have the chance to spot the fascinating creature in the wild and plenty more as we take you on the escorted tour of India you've always dreamed of.
We've teamed up with adventure travel expert Wild Frontiers to transport you to the most stunning corners of northern India on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday you won't find anywhere else.
Taking in the iconic Taj Mahal, discovering the hilltop forts and colourful temples of Rajasthan and the glistening lakes of Udaipur plus so much more, this is one action-packed trip you'll never forget.
Authentic India
As you travel around the magnificent north of the country, you'll gain insight into the real India, staying at heritage hotels and havelis - Indian mansions - which we carefully selected for their charm and character.
Castle Bijaipur, for example, is an historic 16th-century hotel run by the ruling family, Narendra Singh, and his clan. It’s protected by fortified walls and forests, and will give you a true sense of north Indian history, nature and hospitality.
Staying at grand, enchanting and eco-friendly guest houses, you and a small group of Good Housekeeping readers will experience the warmth and generosity that India is famous for. Naturally, you will also enjoy a taste of some of the region’s most delicious dishes.
Tick India's must-sees off your bucket list
Highlights of the tour that you've probably always dreamed of visiting include Humayun's tomb in Delhi, sunset over the breathtaking Taj Mahal in Agra and an exploration of the exquisite palaces and mosques at Agra Fort.
In Udaipur, you'll enter remote rural villages, hidden temples and lakes, as well as spectacular hilltop forts such as the colossal UNESCO-listed Chittorgarh.
Meanwhile, the Ranthambore National Park is where Jeep safaris await at dawn and dusk. This is an incredible opportunity to witness some of India’s most beautiful - and most elusive - wildlife. It's where leopards, striped hyenas, and, of course, Bengal tigers roam.
What’s more, with Wild Frontiers you can extend your trip with an extra 11-days in the country as you tour spectacular Kerala and the lush south for the ultimate Indian adventure.
