Natural Habitat Adventures Launches Tiger-Intensive Expedition
Visit Ranthambore National Park to view some of the world's last remaining wild Bengal tigers
Boulder, CO. April 30, 2018: The world’s leader in sustainable nature travel, Natural Habitat Adventures introduces a NEW 7-day tiger-intensive expedition, India Tiger Quest, offering the rare opportunity to see Bengal tigers in their natural habitat along with other remarkable wildlife of India.
Visit one of India’s premier places to see some of the world's last remaining wild Bengal tigers: Ranthambore National Park. Led by India's top naturalist guides, travel at the optimal time of year for sightings, when temperatures are getting hot but monsoon rains are still weeks away, drawing wildlife into the open to drink at shrinking waterholes. Search for tigers on morning and afternoon drives through the deciduous jungle, keeping a lookout for other jungle wildlife, too: sloth bear, leopard, sambar, chital, palm civet, langur monkeys, pythons and more. With 11 guests total–and just four per safari vehicle–everyone gets a "window" seat in open-sided 4x4s.
Departures are offered throughout 2019 and 2020. The per-person double rates start at $6795 ($1275 single supplement). Included are all activities, accommodations, train from Ranthambore to Delhi, airport transfers, most meals, guiding by professional naturalist Expedition Leaders, most gratuities, all permits, taxes and service charges.
Helping India's Tiger Numbers:
After years of plummeting tiger numbers, India charted a 30 percent rise in its quadrennial tiger census in 2014, compared to 2010. Conservation groups attribute some of that growth to sustainable ecotourism. The economic impact of visitors to India's tiger reserves benefits the communities in proximity, providing jobs and offering local people an incentive to protect the wildlife with which they share the land. Given that India is home to 70 percent of the world's remaining wild tigers, and India is the only country currently seeing a rise in tiger numbers, the presence of wildlife tourism here is integral to that continued conservation success.
