Nature and wildlife have formed an integral part of the Indian consciousness. Animals are a critical part of India's myths, legend and religious belief. The best way to explore and experience the majestic Himalayan foothills is undoubtedly on foot or on elephant. This stretch features fascinating deciduous forests and the Savannah vegetation of tall grassy meadows and marshes, across gushing streams and mountain villages. The avifauna here is wide - ranging and varied and so are the inhabitants of these great forests. The accompanying Jeep and the tended camps give you the flexibility to choose your transportation mode. An odyssey in itself, this simple yet intense experience combines an undisturbed sojourn in picture-postcard countryside.
