Early next morning, we will visit the Tabo monastery before making our way to Kibber. Kibber is situated at 14,500 feet. On the way to Kibber, which is a 2-hour drive, if there are any snow leopard sightings, we will drop you off and get you ready with your cameras. The porter and guide will come and assist you but it is better to go up, settle in and come back once you are acclimatized as exhaustion can lead one to mountain sickness. So depending on how difficult the sighting site is to reach, we will take a call then. Once you are settled in your rooms at the home stay in Kibber, you can go for a short walk around the village to familiarize yourself. In the afternoon, if there are any sightings, we will take you to the site as soon as receive the news. We use a Maruti Suzuki Gypsy so that it is convenient for the guests to reach the site rather than hiking. There will be some points like 100- 400 yards one may have to walk as they navigate their way to the snow leopard site, our last and most shy big cats of India. There is also Yak available in case one is comfortable to ride one. Generally, the daily routine is as follows: – Morning tea/coffee around 6:30 AM and one has to be ready by 7:15 AM for breakfast. The spotters come for a meeting by 7:15 AM and set out for the snow leopard sighting sites. Once breakfast is over, guests can step out to see Blue Sheep, Red Fox and Ibex. We encourage everyone to stay close to the home stay till they’ve received word of a good snow leopard sighting and then pursue other wildlife prevalent on the area. Lunch is generally served at the snow leopard sighting site. If there are no sightings on certain days, we will stay back at the home stay and have lunch there. Dinner is always at the home stay. In between the meals tea/coffee/snacks are served at the site and at the home stay. Mineral water is provided free of charge throughout the trip. Each room is equipped with wood fired hot stove and electric heater. Each bed has an electric blanket. Heavy quilts are provided too. Bath towels are also provided.

You don’t have to lift anything during the course of your stay. Your camera is carried by the porter and he will also carry your day time camera bag/back pack. Extra scanner guides are present for maximum chances of quick and confirmed sightings. You will be provided with a walking pole and a chair/stool while sitting down for photography. A tent is also pitched in case one has to lie down. Insulated mats are kept inside the tent. Oxygen tank is also carried along with the group while going to the sighting site. Oxygen saturation measurement device is available to test for any symptoms of shortness of breath. The escort will guide you and be available for any issues you may have. There is arrangement of dropping the guest to lower altitude incase they’re suffering from mountain sickness or experiencing shortness of breath.

Testimonials and Experiences.
Christine FFebruary 10, 2025 Wonderful India The golden triangle and safari tour with Nature Safari India was an amazing experience. Don’t think twice, just book. From the time they picked us up at the New Delhi airport to the time that they dropped us off 17 days later, we were in safe hands and transported to all locations in utmost comfort. The vehicles used were spacious and all drivers magnificent. Tiger Safari’s-Our 3 nights each at Pench, Kanha and Bandhavgarh National Parks were superb with 5 star accommodations. The peaceful feeling at each location will never be forgotten. The food throughout our safari lodges was simply delicious, with each lodge having a flair of their own. The hospitality at each was exceptional. Special callout to the Treehouse Hideaway experience, the care of the staff was second to none, they worked very hard to ensure that we had a great time.Full day sightseeing in central Delhi and accommodations were fantastic. The Taj Mahal and Agra Fort in Agra, so unforgettable. Our trip to Jaipur and our elephant ride up to Amber Fort was incredible. All accommodations were fantastic throughout our stay in India but our favourite was Lalee in Jaipur. We could have stayed there a week, one of the best boutique hotels we have ever stayed in, so inviting.The attention to detail that Nature Safari India gave could not have been better. They went “above and beyond” our expectations. The best customer service! A shoutout to Mr Negi our driver from Delhi-Agra-Jaipur-Delhi, he was amazing, as were all of our other drivers and guides, Subhash and Sailesh at Pench, Sanjay and Chhote at Kanha, Sanjay & Ajay at Bandhavgarh. Gulab Jaiswal our driver from Bandhavgarh to Jabalpur for flight to New Delhi was fantastic and managed to fix a flat tire in less than 10 minutes, kudos to him. Thanks to all other drivers as well.Protim was amazing and kept in touch with us the whole trip via WhatsApp. Thank you Nature Safari for our wonderful experience in India. If we are fortunate enough to visit again, you are definitely the company of our choice.Voyager01277960850February 7, 2025 Tiger Safari and Golden Triangle What a fabulous trip to central India to see tigers in 3 national parks and then on to view the wonders of the Indian Golden Triangle.From first contact with Nature Safari India we knew we were in good hands. Answers to queries concerning the itinerary, lodges to stay in, internal flights ,etc were answered swiftly and efficiently.Once in India everything was organised for us with seamless transitions from one place to the next.The tiger viewing was excellent with a number of incredibly close up viewings. Plenty of other animals are beautiful birds to see as well.The drivers and guides in the parks and at the monuments in the Golden Triangle were very helpful and very knowledgeable.All in all a fabulous trip.All we had to do was get ourselves to India, Nature Safari did the rest.Stan HFebruary 7, 2025 Our first magnificent Tiger Safari! Hard to express how great this experience was! We read about Tiger Safari through a Google search and contacted them to see if they could arrange a tiger safari between Jan 23-Feb 3, 2025. We were a little nervous having never gone to India before and not knowing what to expect. We were extremely pleased with what they provided. They arranged private safaris in Pench, Kanha and Bandhavgarh National Parks, our transportation from Delhi too and between each Park. Excellent accommodation and meals, phenomenal safaris, great and comfortable transportation between Parks and wonderful hosts and guides in each locations. Just an outstanding trip! Tiger sitings in all three Parks, leopards, deer, antelope, and the birds! Highly recommend them! Can't thank Ishana (who arranged the trip) and Pratim, our host who went out of his way to greet us and make us feel comfortable, enough. They made our first trip to India very memorable and we look forward to having them arrange a future trip for us. Bev & Stan Holmes, Vancouver Island, Canada.Voyager36885764502February 2, 2025 A Just Tigers safari with Nature Safari India I would like to thank most sincerely Nature Safari India for my recent group Just Tigers Safari. I am a female solo traveller and from the moment I was met at Delhi Airport to when I was taken back for my return flights home I was so well looked after. Excellent accommodation, great food, terrific guides and wonderful tigers and leopards in the national parks all combined to make an unforgettable experience. Thank you Ishana for your help in organising this for me - you were always there to answer my emails so promptly and professionally.ALAN MFebruary 1, 2025 5-star performance Having done the required research, rather than book a tiger watching package through a UK-based tour company, I opted to go with Nature Safari India, cutting out the middle man and the costs. I'm so glad I did; Nature Safari turned out to be the real deal - responsive, courteous, efficient, flexible and great value for money. My 10 night, three-centre tiger watch could not have gone better. The accommodation, transfers and, most importantly, the safaris, were first-class. The staff everywhere were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful and the round-the-clock back-up from the Delhi office most reassuring. All-in-all, they did a great job for me.kevin tarrantJanuary 30, 2025 An awesome tiger experience Went primarily to look for tigers. We chose to go to Corbett NP because we could stay in the park and would spend less time travelling to where the tigers were found. For first time visitors to India it was great to be picked up and taken to our overnight hotel in New Delhi. The safari experience was awesome with several amazing tiger viewings. I was also interested in the birds and this was accommodated well by our guide. We saw elephants as well. The accommodation was basic as described ! Everything worked like clockwork. Guides and drivers were excellent, and would have no hesitation to recommend .JohnPoncaCityJanuary 22, 2025 Awesome India trip It was an awesome trip. They worked with me on what I wanted to see and were flexible as conditions dictated. Great hotels. Diwali celebrations were much fun and the guides were awesome. I was even able to add a visit to the bird sanctuary in addition to seeing the tigershannaha768January 20, 2025 The only company to choose! What could we say to capture the magic that we experienced in India with Tiger Safari India! We had the most phenomenal time on our two week tour and it far exceeded our expectations. Deepkul was beyond amazing. We used to refer to him on the tour as Deepkul the magician- he was always able to create magic! Consistently responsive from our first email and throughout our trip until the end. My husband unfortunately miscalculated the rupiah and needed some extra money- sorted in a flash. He also needed a certain medication and Deepkul ensured this was found and despite feeling dreadful for being such a bother Deepkul made us feel like this was not a trouble at all (when we know it was!).Our accommodation was spectacular. Every single one. Permits seamlessly obtained and exactly what we wanted. Our naturalists were top notch and most definitely helped to ensure our encounters with the tigers. We can not recommend Deepkul and the team at Tiger Safari (Nature Safari India) any more highly. We will most definitely be using them again in the future. Thank you again Deepkul!!! Keep up the incredible work.Marian SJanuary 16, 2025 Tigers in Kanha We were thrilled to see tigers almost everyday of our trip and lots of other wonderful wildlife. Nature Safari could not have been more helpful in planning our holiday and when we arrived.Neil HJanuary 9, 2025 WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY PARADISE Wildlife Photography in abundance with beautiful backdrops and amazing people - one of the best experiences. The staff made us feel very welcome and went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and had the best safari. The wildlife in Kanha was beyond my wildest dreams, sighting tigers and leopards with the assistance of our amazing guide Mahesh Gop who made sure we had the perfect angle with the perfect light. The accommodation at Meru Vann has been refurbished with the rooms and local cuisine to match the setting. You can expect a five star experience with staff greeting you when you first arrive then waving you off as you head to the jungle each day. The staff work tiresley before the sunrises and as you go to sleep they are still working hard preparing for the next day.The whole experience was amazing and professionally delivered to the highest of standardsTripadvisor rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 308 reviews
