India Tours

Project Tiger was set up in 1972 by the government of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. It's aims were simple, to ensure maintenance of a viable population of Tigers and focus on the causes of the massive decline in numbers of the Bengal subspecies. These include, habitat destruction, deforestation and poaching.

There are now 23 reserves included In Project Tiger, an increase from the original nine.

Thus is the focus of this tour. For wildlife and 'old stripes' lovers especially, this trip visits 4 of the major Project Tiger reserves; Sariska, Ranthambhore, Bandhavgarh and Kanha, where Kipling based his famous book.
