Tiger Thali Tour
Three reserves, nine full days inside them. A thali is a plate of many things at once, and that is the argument: Tadoba, Bandhavgarh and Kanha photograph nothing alike.

Why three
Red soil, sandstone, and grass
Tadoba is red earth, bamboo and lake edges, and its tigers are unusually relaxed about vehicles. Bandhavgarh is sandstone and sal. Kanha is open maidan. Photographing all three in one trip means the pictures do not all look like the same afternoon.
It also spreads the risk. Any single park can have a quiet week — weather, water, a tigress moving cubs. Three parks over fifteen nights is the closest thing to insurance that wildlife travel honestly offers.
Day by day
The itinerary
From the trip's own itinerary document.
Arrive New Delhi
Radisson Blu Plaza Airport Hotel, one night, nothing scheduled.
Delhi to Tadoba
Fly to Nagpur, then by road to the reserve. Four nights at Tadoba Jungle Camp.
Tadoba — three full days
Bamboo, red soil and lake margins, and the hardest light of the three parks. Tadoba's tigers are the most habituated to vehicles in this itinerary, which changes what is possible at close range.
On to Bandhavgarh
Four nights at Aranyak Resorts, three more full days in the park.
On to Kanha
Four nights, three full days. Grass maidans, barasingha, and a completely different palette.
Back to Delhi, and Agra
Fly out of Jabalpur, three nights in Delhi, and a guided day trip to the Taj Mahal.
