India has always been a firm favorite of mine and I can't tell you how exited I have been with putting together this return trip for end feb 2013. This is a twin centre trip focusing on Gujarat and Tadoba tiger reserve.
Now that we have the itinery all worked out, I am looking for others to join me. Ideally I need a group of 8 people in total, with at least one lady willing to share to aviod the Single room supplement.
If any of you are interested in this trip, with the focus being primarily on Asiatic lion, wolf, leopard, striped hyena in Gujarat and sloth bear, Tigers and dhole in Tadoba, and a host of other mammal and birdlife, please let me know.
My good friend Jo Thomas (Wild about travel) is organising the trip so we know we will be in safe hands.
The itinery is all laid out in the attached document with prices etc. Flights are not included so will also need to be factored in.
The sites in Gujarat are well known to anyone who has researched a trip to that area. We will be going to the Little Rann of Kutch, for the asiatic wild ass and myriad of birdlife, we will spend time in Gir National park focusing on the Asiatic lion, and also Velavadar which is a great site for indian grey wolf and Striped Hyena. We have chosen some very well placed accommodation. For instance, Indian grey wolf has been seen in the grounds of Blackbuck lodge in Velavader.
For me, no trip to India is complete without a chance to see Tiger! We have chosen Tadoba for this trip, which is less well known. After a lot of consideration, we settled on Tadoba as it has delivered consistently amazing tiger sightings this year (from first hand reports) and is also delivering excellent sightings of dhole and sloth bear. Leopard has also been seen fairly frequently. Tadoba is also likely to be much quieter in terms of vehicles in comparison to e.g. Bandhavgarh and Kanha. In fact, as Tiger Trails resort is situated with it's own entrance to the park, people have reported having the park to themselves for the first hour or so- something that never happens in the other more well known parks. We will be staying at both tiger trails and another resort in the area to explore the different parts of the park.
FYI Kanha has also not been as productive for tiger sightings the past two years as there has been a lot of burning in the area at this time of year.
Please let me know if you might be interested. We will be at the bird fair in August if you would like to discuss in person
