What to do in Madhya Pradesh

Tigers pad silently through bamboo thickets while ancient temples rise from mist-shrouded hills in this overlooked heartland state. Morning safaris in Bandhavgarh and Kanha might reveal a Royal Bengal resting beneath a mahua tree, far from the jeep convoys found in more famous reserves. The cultural treasures prove equally rewarding - from the astonishingly explicit carvings at Khajuraho's temples to the 30,000-year-old rock paintings at Bhimbetka. Glide between towering marble cliffs at Bhedaghat as kingfishers dart across the water, or watch the sunrise illuminate Mandu's abandoned palaces where sultans once wooed their queens. Whether you're sampling street food in Indore's night markets or purchasing handwoven Maheshwari silks directly from weavers' homes, this central state rewards travelers willing to venture beyond the obvious.

Safari

For the love of the wild places
It’s hard to describe what a safari really feels like… Every day brings something unexpected and no two are ever the same, from the wildlife you spot to the magnificent scenery around every corner. Of course, Africa is the home of the safari and each country has something unique to offer. You could walk your way through South Luangwa in Zambia, ride horseback through Kenya’s Laikipia plateau, marvel at the Great Migration thundering across the Serengeti, or game drive through the Kruger in search of the Big Five…. and much more. Whatever you choose, one thing’s for sure: you’ll never look at nature the same way again.

Tigers

The stars of India’s wildlife show
A safari in India? Oh, yes! After all, there’s nothing that gets the heart racing quite like a tiger sighting. There’s the silence, the tension, the flash of orange and black stripes through the undergrowth – and then, there it is: raw, regal, wild. India’s parks are some of the best places on Earth to see these big cats, and the landscapes are just as cinematic whether you choose Ranthambore, Kanha or Bandhavgarh for your adventure.

Forts & palaces

The grandest of the grand
Step through a grand doorway and into a different era of powerful dynasties, lavish banquets, and lives lived on an epic scale. The world’s great forts and palaces aren’t just eye candy (though they are definitely that, too), but a living, breathing history with stories etched into every fresco and flagstone. Whether you’re wandering through ruins in Cambodia, getting goosebumps in ancient throne rooms in Jaipur, or marvelling at ornate architecture in Sri Lanka, these great testaments to humankind’s ingenuity tell magnificent tales of old and add a little something to any trip.

Wildlife

All creatures great and small
The thrill of catching a glimpse of a swishing tail or the flash of an eye, knowing you’re the first human they have seen in a while – or for the very first time - is a truly unforgettable moment. One moment, you’re scanning the horizon, and the next, an elephant ambles into view or a monkey swings overhead. It might be a whale breaching off the coast, or a pangolin scurrying across the sand, but whatever it is, it’s real, and it’s unforgettable. At Timbuktu, we’ll get you to the right place at the right time for the best wildlife encounters - you just need to have your binoculars at the ready.
