To begin to understand the multiplicity of mysteries of India, one first must see Delhi - the capital of ancient kigndoms, empires and now, a sprawling metropolis. After steeping ourselves in some of the greatest architectural and cultural wonders of the world, we delve deep into one of the most abundant bio-diverse areas on earth in search of the majestic and threatened Bengal tiger. Traveling within an area where the most diverse life forms on earth thrive, we will experience nature as few do.
Hunted heavily for sport and their regal striped skins, the
Bengal tiger population has declined sharply in the last fifty
years and only a few thousand remain. Our guides and lecturers
are among the leading scientists and conservationists in the
world and their knowledge of Bengal tigers is one of the expedition's
biggest highlights. Their important work and the funding from
this expedition are integral to saving one of the most magnificent
animals ever to walk the earth. All of which adds up to a once
in a lifetime wildlife expedition and one of the best wildlife
viewing opportunities in the world.
By special arrangement, renowned tiger expert and wildlife filmmaker, Stephen
Mills, will be leading the trip.
