• Walk past the Heritage sites of Fort Bombay like the Gateway of India and the Prince of Wales Museum. Learn about a tribal art form in Mumbai dating back to 3000 BCE and create your very own artwork.
• Visit the Bhoramdeo weekly tribal haat (market) and the friendly indigenous communities of the area in their villages nearby. Also visit a temple constructed between 7th and 12th centuries dedicated to Lord Shiva.
• Explore wildlife at Kanha and Pench National Parks. Romanticized by Rudyard Kipling in his novel ‘The Jungle Book’, these are one of the finest Indian wildlife sanctuaries home to the magnificent Barasingha deer along with the Bengal tiger and countless exotic species of flora, fauna, birds, reptiles and insects.
• Visit Panchmarhi, a hill station in central India, steeped in legend and mythology. It is an ancient landscape strewn with the artistic and religious remains of pre-historic human occupation. Visit the Jatashankar Cave Temple named after the matted locks of Lord Shiva, the ‘destroyer’ in the Hindu pantheon.
• Stay overnight in a tented camp pitched at a private site in the wilderness between Panchmarhi and Satpura National Park. The hilly and undulating terrain, cascading waterways, sprawling teak forests and abundance of wildlife make it ideal walking country.
• Explore Satpura National Park – one of the three wilderness spaces of the Panchmarhi Biosphere Reserve. Enjoy a Canoe ride which is an absolute delight for any nature lover. Go on a night safari in the buffer zone of the National Park to spot nocturnal animals and birds like Indian civet, nightjar or even leopards that you can rarely see otherwise.
• Visit pre-historic rock shelters of Bhimbetka, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with its extraordinary cave paintings and where the earliest traces of human life on the Indian subcontinent can be found.
