India: Channeling Mowgli
The tigers of Kanha National Park—the setting for English writer Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book—are best viewed astride an Asian elephant, but this wildlife-focused excursion through northern India also has you riding camels, rickshaws, rafts, and jeeps to observe leopards, rhinos, monkeys, mongoose, and more at five national parks and wildlife refuges. A highlight is a visit to a sloth bear rescue center in Agra that works to abolish the practice of dancing bears on the streets of India.
