On This Trip
- Go on a tiger safari
- Go walking in the foothills
This itinerary takes you from the bustling capital of Delhi in the plains up into the different world of the tranquil foothills of the Himalaya. It gives you an insight into India's diversity; you have the chance to explore the narrow streets of Old Delhi, the opportunity to see the elusive tiger in Corbett, before heading up to one of the most untouched areas of Himalayan foothills.
On arrival in Delhi you will have a good introductory tour of Delhi. In the foothills you will see the diversity of the beautiful Kumaon region of Uttarkhand which is very rural, while in Corbett you will be surrounded by well maintained forestry, home to a healthy population of tigers and other wildlife. This was the first park to open in response to the declining tiger numbers and has had great success. The wildlife opportunities are endless and most exciting of all is the chance to take an elephant safari with a mahout and guide who will talk you through all you see around you.
Moving further into the foothills you will find yourself surrounded by mesmerising terraced farm lands, inquisitive people and in the distance you have the stunning snow-capped peaks. It is so far removed from the day to day life of the bustling cities; it makes for a refreshing change. In the hills you will be walking from village to village while accompanied by an informative guide who knows the region extremely well and is able to tell you all there is to know. You will then continue further into the unknown to a small luxury retreat where you will revel in the peace and tranquillity, where they have lovely walking and sumptuous food.
