The land of the roar, trumpet, and song has been accurately described as the Corbett National Park. It depicts a scene of extraordinary beauty. At India, “Project Tiger” was launched in this park. The variety of habitat present in this reserve contributes to its remarkable biodiversity. The reserve contains both Himalayan and peninsular flora and wildlife as a result of its location in the central Himalayan foothills.
Day 04 : In Corbett National Park
Dinners, overnight stays at the Forest Rest House inside the National Park, and morning and afternoon jeep safaris. The first and best park in India is 520 square kilometres large. On August 8, 1936, Sir Malcolm Hailey, the then-governor of the United Provinces, was honoured with the creation of Hailey National Park. In 1952, the name was changed to Ramganga National Park. Jim Corbett, the renowned hunter, naturalist-turned-author, and photographer who had assisted in creating the park and establishing its limits, passed away in 1957, and the park was finally given the name Corbett National Park in his honour and memory.

Visit the Taj Mahal in the morning, a majestic structure that is one of the seven wonders of the world. It was designed by Mughal emperor Shah Jehan as a monument of love for his wife Mumtaz and constructed in the middle of the eighteenth century. In order to build this magnificent mausoleum, which has been immortalised in white Makrana marble and embellished with onyx, amethyst, lapis lazuli, turquoise, jade, crystal, and several other semi-precious stones that were brought from as far away as Tibet, China, and the Indian Ocean, over 20,000 workers from different parts of the world pooled their skills.

(Note: The Taj Mahal is closed to the public on Friday).
Day 07 & 08 : Ranthambore National Park
On both dates, take the morning and evening safaris to the Park.
Ten distinct zones make up the entire park, and practically all of them have healthy tiger and animal populations. One of the first National Parks where Project Tiger was launched was Ranthambore. Although the tiger population has fluctuated over the previous century, Ranthambore has experienced a stable period in the last ten years. So much so that it was able to provide Sariska National Park, which was devoid of Tigers due to poaching activities, with a small donation of Tigers.
The committed Forest Department and tourism are solely to blame for Ranthambore’s success and its healthy tiger population.
The Ranthambore Tiger Reserve is located in the Indian state of Rajasthan. It is made up of various discrete regions with varying conservation histories and is essentially geographically isolated from Ranthambore National Park. These mostly include Sawai Mansingh Sanctuary, Keladevi Sanctuary, and Ranthambore National Park.
In addition to being a top destination on the India Golden Triangle Tour & Tiger Safari, Ranthambore is a photographer’s dream. Ranthambore is attractive in its own unique style, with many lighting conditions, viewpoints, backdrops, and frame options. The Park is home to about 300 different bird species, making it rich in avifauna. In reality, Ranthambore and the surrounding area are a birdwatcher’s heaven. Some important species are the Large Cormorant, Painted Spurfowl, Sarus Crane, Bronzed Winged Jacana, Sandpiper, Kingfisher, Nightjar, painted Sandgrouse, Great Horned Owl, and many others that migrate to Ranthambore and the surrounding areas every year from their nesting grounds north of the Himalayas.
With a 400 sq. km. size, Ranthambore includes steep hill crests that drop to wide valleys between the Aravali and Vindhya ranges. This park takes its name from the 1,000-year-old fortress that towers above the forest and is lined with water pools and fruit trees. Ranthambore, which is well renowned for the tiger activity throughout the day, is a very unique and distinctive place where the natural world and human history collide. Languor, Sambar, Cheetal, Chinkara, and Nilgai. In this reserve, visitors have a very excellent chance of spotting tigers when on safaris, as well as the elusive leopard. Ruins of its former splendour, such as chatris or cupolas that resemble palaces or former guard posts, are scattered across the terrain, adding to the area’s romantic and ethereal feel.

This is the actual Kipling nation that he eloquently described in The Jungle Book. A predetermined location will have a packed breakfast from the Lodge set out on the Safari vehicle’s bonnet.

The accidental discovery of Khajuraho is India’s second-largest tourist destination. The largest collection of mediaeval temples can be found in Khajuraho, and they are all decorated with countless sculptures of amazing grace and delicacy honouring the stylized and elegant courtly triumphs of beauty, love, and the arts. The temples in the city date from 950 to 1050 AD, when it served as the Chandela Rajputs’ spiritual centre. The area is surrounded by a wall with eight gates, each with two golden palm trees on either side.
The Khajuraho temple complex, which honours Hindu religious thinking in all of its baffling diversity and inclusivity, distinguishes out from the other Hindu temples. The religious veneration of “Yoga” and “Bhoga” is highlighted by the temples. Yoga is the union of the self with the All-Powerful, and Bhoga is the route to God by sensual pleasure. Khajuraho’s temples, which are devoted to sensual love and pleasure, are evidence of this worldview. Khajuraho, which was named a World Heritage Site in 1986, is a well-known, must-visit location, and its temples are India’s special gift to the world since they depict life in all of its forms and moods in stone. Khajuraho’s evening Sound and Light Show. Spend the night in the Khajuraho hotel.

Transfer to the airport in the afternoon to catch a flight to Varanasi. depart for Varanasi from Khajuraho. At the Varanasi airport, you will be met and assisted before being driven to your accommodation.
One of the most significant pilgrimage destinations in India and the holiest city for Hindus is Varanasi. Varanasi, also known as Kashi and Benaras, is one of the oldest continuously inhabited towns in the world and has been a hub of study and culture for more than 2000 years.
Visit the Ganga River’s “Ghats” in the evening. This tour is remarkable because you can see how the religious live according to their cultural ethos. Be sure to see the rites done in honour of the setting sun and the riverside purifications. You will witness other boats carrying religious people who are performing ceremonies along the river as they drift downstream, some carrying commodities, fruits, and vegetables.
On the banks, or “ghats,” you can witness people engaged in business, prayer, and hymn chanting, as well as others doing things like shaving, massaging, and even cleaning ears! Cross over to the Manikarnika Ghat to witness cremation being carried out with great ceremony as the deceased person’s soul is sent up to the sky. Hindus hold that Varanasi serves as the entrance to the Heavens and the opportunity for reincarnation of the soul “in a better state.” Overnight in Varanasi.
Day 19 : In Varanasi
Early in the morning: Sail along The Ganges, India’s holiest river, at dawn. With pilgrims kneeling in the water at the holy river at sunrise, it is a serene and stunning sight to see.

Visit Sarnath as well, a city in Uttar Pradesh, India, 13 kilometres to the northeast of Varanasi, close to the meeting point of the Ganges and the Gomati rivers. The Buddhist Sangha was founded in the deer forest near Sarnath, where Gautama Buddha first taught the Dharma after Kondanna attained enlightenment.
