Join award-winning photographer Paul Alistair Collins and experienced local guide Sumit Sahai to experience India's rarest wildlife, across three breathtakingly beautiful National Parks – Manas, Kaziranga and Singalila.
One of India’s smallest national parks, Singalila is a pure gem. It is the best place in India to spot one of the world's most beautiful mammals, the Red Panda, against a backdrop of spectacular Himalayan vistas.
From there, our journey takes us to some of North-East India’s most biodiverse reserves, Kaziranga and Manas, each reserve revealing its own unique treasures. Tigers roam alongside Rhinos, Elephants, Leopards, and Wild Buffalo, and where rarities such as the Golden Langur, Hoolock's Gibbon and Pygmy Hog still survive.

The botiga restaurant and artisanal shop downstairs sell high quality Catalan food.
Site 1 / Hide 1
On the southern banks of the mighty Brahmaputra River lies Kaziranga, one of India’s oldest and beloved reserves.
Manas’ scenic beauty is worthy of a visit in itself, but this World Heritage national park bordering Bhutan also hosts some of India's most endangered wildlife - including the Bengal Tiger and the world's largest population of One-Horned Rhino.
Here, the Tiger shares the jungle with Elephants, Wild Buffalo, Swamp Deer and the critically endangered Pygmy Hog. These unique, bountiful and stunningly beautiful habitats will thrill all wildlife lovers and photographers.

This lush UNESCO World Heritage site is one of the best places in the whole of India to spot the "Big 6" - the Tiger, One-Horned Rhino, Elephant, Buffalo, Leopard, and the critically endangered Golden Langur.

There is rich birdlife, including the critically endangered Greater Adjutant Stork is a heart-warming success story of community conservation project.
