About this tour
With three nights you can spend a whole day in the park. The full-day jeep safari heads west through sal forest and grassland towards Kasara, with a stop at the gharial breeding center and a packed lunch on the way.
The extra mornings go to slower activities: bird walks, a long canoe ride and a walk with two guides. Each extra outing raises your chances of the shier animals, from sloth bear to, on a lucky day, a tiger.
It suits wildlife photographers, birders and anyone who dislikes rushing.
