Tours to India with Wild About Travel
Wildlife watching tours - bird watching holidays - culture tours for independent travellers and groups
Our tours and holidays unlock the secrets of the ‘real’ India. From the foothills and high mountains of the Himalayas to the deserts of Rajasthan, from the lush Western Ghats across the Deccan Plateau to the mangrove swamps of the Sunderbans and the endless stretches of golden beaches of Kerala. India is a rich and varied land, a unique blend of landscape and wildlife, cultures and traditions.
Bird watching holidays to India offer a profusion of exciting species. Be amazed by the common, colourful and charismatic birds easy to see by the road side. Rare birds like the colourful and exquisite Fire-tailed Myzornis can be found in the north-east while the stately Great Indian Bustard is best looked for in the west.
If you have a wider interest, our mammal tours can offer you close up views of Tiger, Asian Elephant, One-horned Rhino and Asiatic Lion. Other more difficult to see species include Striped Hyena, Indian Grey Wolf, Leopard, Sloth Bear and Ganges River Dolphin. To search for Snow Leopard involves a lot of trekking and dedication. Naturally, sightings depend on a certain amount of luck and us taking you to the best places. We have an excellent success rate for seeing some of the most difficult of these mammals.
Take a culture tour and experience some of India's finest and immeasurable heritage, with magnificent forts, monuments, palaces and temples, colourful festivals and local traditions. India boasts 27 World Heritage Sites (and many more on the tentative list). From the Taj Mahal in Agra, to Humayun’s Tomb in Delhi and ancient rock paintings at several sites including Elephanta Caves reached by boat from Mumbai, India has something of interest for everyone.
