Day 1: New Delhi 
Arrival at the heart of all activities in the capital, the pulsating capital
of India: Delhi.
Delhi catches you just loving it! Is it because it is the capital that it has
such charm? Or it is just the aura of the Central Government and Rashtrapati
Bhawan which is infections. Here's the secret: Delhi was just made that way!
Over the millennia it has wood rulers, attracted plunderers and tired historians
with so many details. Historians say there have been seven cities of Delhi.
If you count the smaller settlements and forts, the number may touch fifteen.
Each city has left behind so much story and material for rumination that it
requires many a lifetime to know them all completely. Delhi was the center of
power during the Mahabharata age, in the time of Muslim rule, and during British
rule. Today, Delhi is burgeoning metropolises that creates more opportunities
than any other city in India and attracts hundreds of thousands of people make
it their home.
New Delhi - Tourist Attractions
An extension of the Old City. Lutyens conceived a modern concentric development,
the perfectly proportioned plan of this area. The Rashtrapati Bhawan lies at
its center and the sense of freedom of wide, open space is very hard to miss.
The India Gate is a favorite tourist spot for people of all ages. A memorial
in tribute to the soldiers martyred in the Afghan War, it has the names of all
these heroic men inscribed on it. It is a riot of activity and adventures that
teems with shrieking children, carefree tourists, and hawkers and vendors every
day of the year.
Day 2: Khjauraho
Fly out of Delhi to Khajuraho and drive to Bandhavgarh, check in at Tiger Den.
It is a famous tourist and archaeological site known for its sculptured temples
dedicated toShiva (Shiva), Vishnu, and Jaina patriarchs.Of the area's 85 original
Khajuraho temples, about 20 are still reasonably well preserved. With a few
exceptions they are constructed of hard river sandstone. Both internally and
externally the temples are richly carved with excellent sculptures that are
frequently sensual and, in a few instances, sexually explicit. The temples are
divided into three complexes, of which the western is the largest and best known,
containing the magnificent Shaivite temple Kandarya Mahadeva (c. 1000), a 102-foot-
(31-metre-) high agglomeration of porches and turrets culminating in a spire.Modern
Khajraho is a small village, serving the tourist trade with hotels and an airport.
Khajraho's name derives from the prevalence of khajur, or date palms, in the
area.
Bandhavgarh National Park is located around 195 km off Jabalpur and 210 km off
Khajuraho in Madhya Pradesh. Considered as the crown in the wildlife heritage
of Madhya Pradesh, Bandhavgarh is known for the Royal Bengal Tigers, cheetals,
leopard, gaur, sambhar, and many more faunal species. Bandhavgarh National Park
is nestled in the Vindhya mountain range of Central India full of hills and
reverines. Though, very small in comparison to Kanha or other parks of Madhya
Pradesh, the park hosts almost the same number of tigers or any other wildlife
animal. Apart from tigers and leopards, Bandhavgarh is also extremely productive
for medium-sized bison herds.
Bandhavgarh came into existence as a national park in 1968 with a core area
of 105 sq. km, which was later, extended to include two adjoining sal forests
in 1986. Before becoming a national park, it was the game reserve of the Maharajas

the Kanha Tiger Reserve, created in 1974 under Project Tiger. The Park's landmark

any part of the day - blushing in the rosy glow of dawn or sunset, appearing
