India Wildlife Trips
Write your own Jungle Book story on a wildlife safari in India. Home to an incredible 70 percent of the world’s tiger population, the wildlife of India is perhaps best known for the Bengal tiger. India wildlife tours offer many more remarkable sightings—from elephants in Kerala and snow leopards in Ladakh to one-horned rhinos in Assam and Asiatic lions in Gujarat. Top-rated wildlife tours in India featuring tigers include jeep safaris deep into the majestic jungles of Bandhavgarh National Park. Spot awe-inspiring herds of wild elephants (with their delightful babies dutifully trotting along) in Periyar National Park on wildlife safari tours in India. The-less visited Hemis National Park in Ladakh is home to the extremely shy snow leopard, along with animals such as the bharal (blue sheep), Tibetan wolf and brown bear. The biggest draw of the Kaziranga National Park in India’s northeast is the one-horned rhinoceros, but you can also catch Asiatic water buffaloes, elephants, tigers and swamp deer. If you are looking for the best wildlife tours, India offers an exciting range to choose from. Scroll below to find our favorites.

Honest insights from past guests on our Wildlife India tours
Anonymous | Traveled in January
This was an amazing tour, that was well organised and varied. The tour leader Indu (Inder) was excellent , very knowledgeable and helpful , as were the team on the bus Ali and Rakesh. We have come home with lots of wonderful Memories and will definitely be back to explore more of India.

Another great holiday with Explore. Inder was a brilliant leader, very knowledgeable and always helpful. The itinerary was well balanced between history, nature and religion with some great local experience.
Anonymous | Traveled in January
Had a fabulous trip - thanks to Explore for the full and varied itinerary and to Inder for being our superb tour leader. He guided us with great skill and went above and beyond to help make the holiday so special. He had great patience and was constantly checking that no-one was left behind after each opportunity to take photos of the amazing architecture. He took us to many good (and inexpensive) restaurants and although we packed in many different experiences we never felt rushed. We were also lucky to have an excellent driver Ali, and Rakesh helped look after us on the minibus. As a result of this trip, I hope to experience many more Explore holidays.

I had India on my list for a while and kept finding reasons to delay it. I am now very happy I finally got myself there. I can home with very good memories - Indu (tour guide) took good care of us and worked hard to make sure we were safe, well fed and experienced the best, navigating around traffic and fog. I am definitely going back to see other parts of the country!
John | Traveled in January
It was my first trip to India and it gave a great down to earth feel of what India is all about, chaotic traffic but safe even on a bike, with the guidance of the tour leader. The people who were extremely welcoming and helpful all of the time with no pushy sales techniques.
Pamela | Traveled in January
Our leader Sam was very efficient, knowledgeable kind and totally first class I did feel that the advertising of the trip was misleading as leisurely the trip was not ! Sam guided and encouraged us all and the mechanics, drivers plus second leader first class also. Unfortunately I had a very bad accident. Sam was so kind and helpful
