About the Program

There can't be many destinations where you willingly pay a not inconsiderable sum to share the deprivations of a team dedicated to saving the tiger. Deprivations is perhaps too harsh a word, for in many ways you're spared the things that travellers fear most in India - heat, dirt and disease.

We 'take the heat out of India' for those unwilling to suffer too much culture shock or share their bed with wildlife; but you don' t get five star luxury, even though the service is personal and the time with us is geared to your specific wishes - whether you crave tranquillity or scenery, birdlife or animal life, we can help you achieve your own dreams.

You'll live as a houseguest, part of the family. You'll see a part of India that few experience, live in a village, meet tribal people, immerse yourself in the wilderness and hopefully become a friend of ours thereafter.




An example itinerary (but they change for everyone):

Arrive Delhi, go to a hotel we know for a shower or a nap, half-day tour of Delhi.

Transfer to the train station to catch overnight train to Pipariya, 2nd Class air conditioned train travel to Pipariya. We pick you up at the train station at Pipariya and take you up to Riverside and then 7 nights staying as our houseguest enjoying basic but homely hospitality in an old 'Raj' style bungalow; on a remote plateau surrounded by jungle. As well as seeing one of the most natural and beautiful areas left in India, guests are escorted into the jungle where they can stay overnight in a jungle lodge to absorb the ambience of this wild world. You can expect to see leopards, giant Gaur, Blackbuck, Chital, Crocodile, Porcupine, Eagles, Wild Dog, Sambar and a multitude of butterflies and birds. We might even see the Bengal Tiger, we will certainly follow the trails, tracking the pug marks.
