The jeep grinds to a stop as the forest inhales: a shaft of sun cuts through teak and sal, birds chatter, and a naturalist leans forward, eyes on a fresh pug mark. This is central India—a landscape of low Vindhya ridges, seasonal rivers and open clearings where tigers move at dawn and dusk.

Staying inside the vehicle, maintaining silence, and avoiding sudden movements keep both you and wildlife safe.
