This is the link to the last part of our two month journey to incredible India. 

 

I'm terribly sorry that my English isn't good enough to write trip reports in English but I think pictures always tell a bit about the destinations.

 

We were very happy with our decision for Wild World India organising this trip for us. It was without any problems during the whole time. Our special thanks goes to CB Singh, our Guide for a big part of this trip. He is an incredible good birder, a careful driver and a nice conversation partner.

Chambal is on my radar now ! Looks fabulous. You are right. So far away from those tiger reserves. Thanks for sharing.

@Chakra I'm sure you would love Chambal. Its a place with less tourists. On the first boot trip we were tree boots out on the river, on the second we were two and on the third we were alone. Amazing. I'm sure you'll show as pics of the dolphins too. You have the patience to get it. 

 

Thanks for all the likes to everyone.

@Botswanadreams, thank you for posting such a fabulous report,  you really covered some ground,  5 weeks is a long trip in India. Some places were familiar and some not so, its always nice to revisit thru others eyes. We too had CB for a lot of our trip, always had a smile on his face.  I dream of getting back one day...

[Botswanadreams]

Thank you very much @elefromoz to come along with us through parts of India. We were very happy with CB as our Guide for a bit more than fife weeks of our trip. In the whole we traveled two month in India. As we planned we sayed one times India in our life but after we returned from this trip we are not sure that there will be a second time to cover more places in India in the future.
