Day 1: Welcome to Khajuraho – Temples, Legends, and Art
You've just arrived in Khajuraho! It's time to explore the history. This town is famous for its temples—and not just any temples but ones with detailed carving that hold the history of 1000 years. These temples are the real work of art! The carvings? They are detailed and beautiful. Also, a little bit daring, too! Erotic art, anyone?
What's special? Oh, come on... Khajuraho is not just about the temples; it's the stories they narrate. Some of them are about love, passion, and even a spiritual journey. It's like getting the way into a world of traditional culture with a modern feel.
Once you have explored all the history, we take a short drive to Panna. This is going to be a place where you can relax with a nice dinner and recharge for the exciting day ahead.
Day 2: Panna Safari – A Day of Tigers, Waterfalls, and Wildlife
Panna Tiger Reserve: where the jungle comes to life! We will sit in a jeep and move into the reserve. Keep your eyes open for tigers, leopards, and all types of wildlife. It's not just about the big cats! Though you might catch sight of a gharial (those long-nosed crocodiles) or a sloth bear doing its thing.
What's even more amazing? We will visit the Pandava Falls! A 100-foot waterfall that's so beautiful, it will surely leave you speechless. Following the stories, the Pandavas from the Mahabharata stayed here during their exile—epic exile!
That's enough for today! Get back to your hotel for dinner and a restful night in Panna.
Day 3: Boat Ride & Scenic Drive to Bandhavgarh
Greet the day! Get your breakfast done. We will be going on a peaceful boat ride along the Ken River. The river is crystal clear, and you will feel like you are in a painting. It's the best spot to witness birds like the vulture and the elusive serpent eagle.
What is so impressive about it? The boat ride is peaceful, and the birdwatching? Near the same level of breathtaking. You'll find yourself snapping pictures of nature's finest.
The next thing on our list is Bandhavgarh! A paradise for wildlife lovers. The journey itself is easy on the eyes, together with plenty of open fields and green landscape to admire. Once we arrive, relax! Enjoy your evening. Get some rest before tomorrow's safari fun.
Day 4: Bandhavgarh Safari – Into Tiger Territory
Good Morning, Safari lovers! We are going to Bandhavgarh National Park—a place so famous for its tigers. It practically feels like the tiger's home turf. But don't worry, there is a lot more to see than just tigers! Keep your eyes open for leopards, wild boars, and maybe even a sloth bear.
The best part? Bandhavgarh is full of ancient caves with rock paintings from prehistoric times. Talk about a fusion of wildlife and history! You are going to feel like an explorer.
As the sun goes in the middle of the sky, we will get back into the jeep for a sunset safari. Believe us, the jungle looks mesmerizing at this time of day. Moreover, it's a great chance to spot any animals that like to come out when the sun starts to dip.
Day 5: More Bandhavgarh – Let’s Keep the Safari Going
Plans for today? We are going deeper into Bandhavgarh for another safari adventure. Each safari gives a feel of a new journey—different routes, new sightings, and always something that’ll leave you in awe.

As the day concludes, you will have a collection of amazing memories and even good photos!
Day 6: Road Trip to Kanha – Let the Adventure Continue
After we reach Kanha, relax for the evening and get ready for tomorrow’s big safari!
It's time to get on the road! Breakfast done? Now, we will be on a 5-hour drive to Kanha National Park. The journey will take you through scenic hills and some really peaceful countryside. It's not just a drive, it is part of an amazing adventure.
Why Kanha? Well, Kanha is popular as one of the best tiger reserves in India, and it's home to the Royal Bengal Tiger. Moreover, it's so well-kept and has been featured in a well-known documentary, “Land of the Tigers.”
Day 7: Kanha Safari – Tiger Spotting Time
Now the part for which the trip is meant to be... Safari Time in Kanha! This is one of the largest and best-managed parks in India, and it's home to some excellent tiger sightings.
What can you anticipate? Apart from tigers, you might come across wild boars, barasinghas (special deer), and leopards. We will not leave any part of the park unexplored because each has its own charm and surprises.
Pro Tip: Don't forget your camera, there are so many moments that need to be captured.
Day 8: Final Safari in Kanha & Departure
It's our final day of the trip! But wait, wait, we are going to take you on the last morning safari before you head home. Who knows? You might witness a glimpse of a tiger in the early morning!
