The Journey
Ten days between the pillars of empire and the pugmarks of a tiger — Lutyens' Delhi, TUTC's Sawai Shivir, and the sal forests of Bandhavgarh.
A curated exploration of Central India's two greatest tiger reserves, bracketed by nights at Delhi's Ambassador Hotel — an Art Deco heritage stay curated by IHCL SeleQtions. Two days at Sawai Shivir on the fringe of Ranthambhore National Park, then a short flight south to The Untamed Bandhavgarh, TUTC's canvas camp in the sal forests where three days of dawn and dusk safaris explore the highest tiger density in India.

We use this as a canvas; the days will rearrange themselves around your interests, the season, and where the wildlife is.
Day 2
Ranthambhore · Sixteen Acres of Wild
Morning drive from Delhi into Rajasthan. Arrive by afternoon at Sawai Shivir by TUTC — canvas suite tents set across sixteen acres on the fringe of Ranthambhore National Park. Dinner at the camp's farm-to-fork kitchen.
Days 3
4 → Ranthambhore · Two Full Days in Tiger Country
Dawn and late-afternoon private-jeep safaris with an in-house naturalist. Between drives: a guided walk through a neighbouring village, a hands-on pottery session, a treatment at Swadhya spa, or a slow afternoon by the water.
Day 5
Bandhavgarh · Brother's Fort
Morning drive from Ranthambhore toward Jaipur, then a short flight to Jabalpur. Onward road transfer to The Untamed Bandhavgarh by TUTC — in the village of Manpur on the reserve's edge.
Days 6
8 → Bandhavgarh · Three Days, Twice-Daily, in Tiger Land
Six game drives across Bandhavgarh's three core zones — tigers, leopards, gaur, and 250+ bird species. On non-drive afternoons: exploration of the old fort ruins, or the sal forests around camp, closed with candlelit dinners under India's densest tiger population.
Day 9
Delhi · Ritual, and the Road Home
Final dawn safari at Bandhavgarh, then transfer to Jabalpur for the flight to Delhi. A final evening back at The Ambassador — evening gatherings around the firepit, or a candlelit dinner in the courtyard.
Day 10
Homeward
Unhurried breakfast. An optional walk through Lodhi Gardens or a coffee at Khan Market before a private airport transfer for international departure.
