\n\n< strong>Wild Souls India:
\nAdventures with the Tiger Goddess
\n8th to 16th April 2023
\n9 days\, 8 nights.
\nNew Delhi –Raipur - Kanha – Bandhavgarh – Jabalpur – New Delhi
\n“Otherwis e\, he would be far away in the jungle\; tasting\, touching\, seeing\, and feeling new things.”
\n
\n― Rudyard Kipling\, The Jungle Book
There are places on the planet that allow us to unfurl our wildness and seek our own courage and bravery once again amongst their pro found beauty.
\nThere are places where power animals still walk and SEE you within their own realms.
\nThere are places where Goddesses still live and where they inspire us to let go of the burden of the everyd ay.
\nThis adventure will take you deep into such places.
\nWi ld Souls India will be centred around taking authentic safaris into two of India’s most stunning national parks\, Kanha and Bandhavgarh\, in search of the Royal Bengal Tiger. The tigers have special power and significance in Hindu and Indian culture\, and the Goddesses Durga (She who rides the T iger) and Kali-Ma are specifically aligned with these rare and mysterious animals.
\nBoth parks are outrageously beautiful and you will have t he best naturalist guides to explore them with you. You’ll also be staying in fantastic accommodation that reflects the area and gives you a point o f luxury to balance out all that hard-core jungle!
\nAfter meeting i n Delhi\, we will fly into Raipur and then drive to Kanha. Kanha National Park is pure “Jungle Book’ territory\, and is where Rudyard Kipling found his inspiration for his famous work. Yes\, here is Shere Kahn territory\, with high densities of tigers and the ability to spot animals that are fou nd nowhere else.
\nKanha boasts of about 38 species of mammals. Some of the inhabitants of this park are the gaur\, the largest of the world’s cattle\; the sambar\, the largest Indian deer\; and the chausingha\, the only four-horned antelope in the world. Other frequent visitors include th e Nilgai antelope\, the sloth bear\, the dhole\, or Indian wild dog\, and an occasional Leopard. Some 300 species of birds inhabit the park\, that i ncludes the storks\, egrets\, black ibis\, raptors\, owls\, and the red- w attled lapwings.
\nKanha is located right in the heart of India\, an d is a quieter area which also gives you an opportunity to experience the rural\, tribal\, and agricultural parts of India- the true India.
\nAfter spending 3 nights in Kanha\, after our morning safari and lunch we d epart by road for the magnificent national park of Bandhavgarh where we wi ll also spend 3 nights. As well as world famous tigers\, other wild attra ctions in the park include Leopards\, Blue Bulls\, Indian Gaur (Bison) Cha usingha (Four Horned Antelopes)\, Spotted Deers\, Sambar Deer\, Wild Boar\ , Sloth Bears Fox\, Jackals\, Wild Dogs\, etc. There are at least 22 mamma l species and about 250 bird species in the Park. There are also Ratel\, P orcupine\, Small Indian Civet\, Palm Squirrel\, Lesser Bandicoot rat\, the Jungle Cat\, and the shy Hyenas. The reptile population in the park inclu des Cobras\, Kraits\, Vipers\, Ratsnakes\, Pythons\, Monitor Lizards and t urtles. The two primate species – the rhesus macaque and the Hanuman langu r are seen and heard!
\nBandhavgarh has been a centre of human activ ity and settlement for over 2000 years\, and there are references to it in the ancient books\, the Narad-Panch Ratra and the Shiva Purana. We will h ave the opportunity to walk to local villages and experience the culture h ere.
\nBoth areas are rooted deeply in mythos. We will do ritual and workings in each. For example” the fort in Bandhavgarhwa is said to date back to the mythos of Hanuman and Rama from the Hindu sacred epic the ‘Ram ayana”. The mythos tells of the two monkeys that created the setu (bridge) between India and Lanka to vanquish evil demons\, built the protective fo rt here.
\nWe will then travel back to Delhi for our farewell celebr ation and the next day\, we have a morning tour of the city and will visit a Durga temple for a final blessing. Our service to you ends after the to ur on the 26th.
\n“Oppress not the cubs of th
e stranger\, but hail them as Sister and Brother\,”
\n
― Rudyard Kipling\, The Jungle Book

\n3 nights at the Bandhav Villas\, Ban davgarh.
\nThis is a carefully designed\, highly authentic 5-star safari lodge. Again\, a venue geared up to support your adventures but the kind of place you can return home to muddy and dirty from your saf ari and then delve into some luxury. Weather permitting\, we will eat dinn er under the stars one night and tell stories around the fire.
\n\n– Your Meals: Nourishing meals from our first evening i n Delhi through to our last breakfast back in Delhi are included. Our meal s will reflect the cuisine of the areas we travel within and please discus s any specialised dietary requirements with us.
\n– Our acti vities and adventures:
\nAs always on a Wild Souls Retreat\ , we immerse ourselves with the natural environment and the people who liv e there. As we will be travelling to jungle environments that are remote a nd deeply mythic\, we have the services of some experts and naturalist gui des who will assist us to get the most out of our visit.
\n– We start with a welcome dinner and briefing in the modern Roseate Hotel i n Delhi. Please book your flights to be present for this event. p>\n
– We will be on safari almost every morning and night whilst in the parks (weather permitting).
\nFor those that haven ’t experienced safari life\, you are in for a treat!
\nDays start ea rly normally around dawn\, with a chai\, tea or coffee and snack and we jo urney into the park in our jeeps. Here our naturalist experts will guide u s through the jungle in search of tigers\, leopards and other amazing wild life and birdlife. You will soak in the power and beauty of the area!
\nDependant on the park\, we will normally have breakfast as a picnic o ut in the wilderness. After the morning safari we will come back to our lo dge for lunch and leisure time. We may have an activity planned or a teach ing or meditation with Stacey.
\nAs the light begins to change\, we will go out into the park again for the late afternoon safari. Many animal s come out to hunt at dusk and we get our chance to see these animals here . Again\, we are in the hands of expert guides who know the local area in timately and who will give us the best chance of spotting wildlife.
\n< p>At sunset\, we travel back to our lodge\, swapping photos and stories an d get ready for dinner. Dinner may well be outdoors under a night sky clea r of outside light sources and amongst the chorus of nature.\nHere is a video taken by a very lucky person in Kanha. They are demonstrating g ood safari etiquette of turning off the engine of the jeep/moving away fro m the animal and its path and whispering/ keeping voices down when close t o an animal. https:/ /www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vm7v5f5ruiE
\nAnd it doesn’t en d there! Also:
\nA beautiful in-depth spiritual pro gramme with Stacey designed to inspire you\, connect you with your healthy fierceness and open your heart to your wilder self. Sometimes\, the world can make us feel very small- the tiger goddesses help us wake up to our p ower!
\nEvery day you’ll learn something new – whether it w ill be through the power of nature as teacher\, sessions with Stacey or th e local people\, or through the specific strength of the tiger goddesses.< /p>\n
