Central India
Tigers, cultural sightseeing
Imagine the cultural depth and variety of Rajasthan without any crowds; add rich and diverse wildlife with unspoiled landscape… and you have India’s Next Big Thing.
If you like to be ahead of the curve, this region – which spans the enormous state of Madhya Pradesh as well as the tribal areas of Chattisgarh and the little-known coastal state of Orissa – is a must. We recommend that you go sooner rather than later.
Of course, while being under-developed has many benefits, it also means that you’ll need the help of insider knowledge to be sure of getting the best from your trip. The standard and style of accommodation, while nowhere near the luxury of Rajasthan, is developing rapidly but sensibly and we have discovered some real gems on our recent visits. Wildlife itineraries, too, need to be well thought out and managed and, with the knowledge that comes from being old Africa hands, cazenove + loyd is very well placed to provide the best experience possible.
Best visited: October to March
All itineraries are individually designed, but as a guide, we can arrange a ten days in Central India (not including flights) from £1700/ $2550 per person.
