India: Naturetrek Wildlife Tour

Rescued bear in IAR sanctuarySupporters who have donated to our project to help rescue India’s dancing bears can have the opportunity to interact with the wildlife veterinary experts, biologists and staff that has helped heal these rescued bears to recovery and to see how their donations are helping in their conservation.

Naturetrek, a company specialising in natural history holidays and wildlife tours, have developed a bespoke package to India for us that will take place in November and February every year which also includes a visit to see India’s majestic tigers and exotic birds in the north of India.

The first Naturetrek wildlife tour to India in February 2007 was a resounding success! Everyone on the tour had a wonderful time and returned with glowing accounts of their experiences.

The ten day tour includes a visit to the Agra bear sanctuary, the Bharatpur bird sanctuary and the Ranthambore National Park, home to some of India’s majestic tigers.

TigerNaturetrek is generously donating 10% of the income from this unique Wildlife tour to India our ‘Free the Bears’ campaign, so this is the perfect way to have a fabulous wildlife holiday and further support IAR’s campaign to free the dancing bears of India. To find out more, visit the Naturetrek website.

The next tour takes place from 13 - 22 November 2009. For more information, please contact Naturetrek on info@naturetrek.co.uk or call 01962 733051. > View Itinerary
