Total Price: $5100 p/p
From the quiet, misty grasslands of India’s oldest tiger reserve to the ultimate monument of love glowing at sunrise, experience the raw beauty and rich history of Northern India. This 11-day journey takes you deep into the heart of the wild—specifically, across three distinct zones of the legendary Jim Corbett National Park—before trading the jungle for the grand Mughal heritage of New Delhi and Agra.
Spot majestic Bengal tigers, hear the call of wild elephants, and wander through ancient tombs and vibrant markets. With all your local permits, private transfers, and a remarkable 14 custom tiger safaris fully arranged, you can leave the logistics to us and lose yourself entirely in the magic of India.

Where We'll Stay
Hannah Rheaume
My journey into photography began as a deep-seated desire to share the beauty of the world with others. But, during a time when international travel became limited, I found peace in the beauty and tranquility of nature. It didn’t take long for me to realize that being outside was more than just a pastime; it had become an essential and deeply ingrained part of my life.
Portraying a place as accurately as I felt it was in that moment is really important to me. I like to capture the essence of a place and evoke a feeling of the scene or experience I’m capturing. Sometimes through quiet minimalistic imagery and moments, sometimes through vast landscapes – it can be anything that I’m drawn to. But the common thread is that it’s always through this fly on the wall type of lens. Where the audience can place themselves, for just a moment to see what it would be like.
I love sharing my experiences and the lessons I’ve learned through my journeys with my community; in the hopes of inspiring you to embrace nature and find comfort in the unknown pieces of the places you travel to.
