Overview: The landlocked state of India is wedged where the country’s geographical heart should be. It lives up to its serendipitous location and offers the most exquisite vistas of the country. The foremost experience that comes to mind is one with the company of wild beings. The fact that Madhya Pradesh has the largest green cover in India, makes it a natural wealth of bio-diversity – something that inspired even Rudyard Kipling to pen his most famous work, The Jungle Book.  When out of the enchanting forests, one can dive right into history with living palaces like the ones in Orchha and Gwalior. These are complemented with erotic shrines of Khajuraho, created by the Chandelas possibly between 900 -1100 A.D. It is not the history that leaves the traveller mesmerized, but also the living culture of cities like Bhopal and Chanderi. To say that Madhya Pradesh is an extraordinary destination would be an understatement. As neighbours to this enriching land, we know it in great depth and have been crafting exclusive itineraries for immersive trips.

What to Expect: The trip is bound to throw diverse experiences in your direction. When on the wildlife leg of the journey, expect world-class facilities in jungle lodges, backed by knowledgeable naturalists and guides. The lodges not only make great take off points for wildlife sightings, but also help in hitting pause on travel and relaxing in the company of nature. The temples and forts showcase vestiges of the past, and the street-food leaves one with inimitable flavours to remember. Madhya Pradesh offers a pleasant respite from travel clichés that often plague a well-trodden destination.
