In the summer months [March-May], as the forest dries and temperatures during the day reach around 45 degrees C, the animals stay closer to the sources of water. The clearer undergrowth and numerous water bodies on our tracks provide better chances of spotting a tiger. This is especially true of Bandhavgarh, Kanha and Ranthambore.
The coolness the winter month's [November-February] bring, along with plenty of water still spread about in the jungle, gives us ample chances of seeing tigers walking on the Jeep tracks, and it remains an air of mystery as you may see the Big Cat at any corner during your drive! The sights of our Indian Jungles in winter is a spectacle for the eyes and mind.
We are equipped with both, short to extended itineraries to assist you. Through our guests and our own experience, we would recommend a minimum of 06 nights in the Jungles to increase one's chances of spotting the Tiger. We've had guests explore India for over a month at a time, going through several national parks seeing the richness of our biodiversity, and seeing some cultural sites of interest.

Yes, the National Park doesn't fence off most areas, hence there are always chances of encountering the smallest to the largest creature outside the park and even inside the lodge.
