Planning the Perfect Raksha Bandhan Getaway
Gift your sibling a well-planned trip to Tadoba, ensuring every detail is taken care of so they can relax and enjoy the experience. Since the festive day is on Monday, you can easily avert the weekend crowd. Additionally, August is an offseason due to monsoon, consequently, the usual crowd is quite small by default. Here’s how you can plan the perfect Raksha Bandhan getaway:
Day 1: Arrival and Evening Safari
Start your adventure by arriving at Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve by mid-morning. If you’re travelling by train or flight, you can reach Chandrapur or Nagpur, and from there, it’s a scenic road transfer to the reserve. Upon arrival, check in to your pre-booked jungle lodge or resort. After settling in, it’s time to indulge in a delicious lunch at the lodge’s dining area. You can savour local Maharashtrian delicacies or opt for continental cuisine.
After lunch, prepare for your first safari adventure. Head out for an evening safari in Tadoba. The thrill of entering the dense forest, with the possibility of spotting a tiger or leopard, is an experience unlike any other. As the golden hues of the setting sun bathe the forest, you’ll have the perfect opportunity to capture stunning photographs and create lasting memories.
Return to the lodge by late evening with your hearts full of excitement and cameras brimming with wildlife shots. Over evening tea or coffee and snacks, you can share your safari experiences with your sibling, recounting the thrill of spotting wildlife in their natural habitat. As the night falls, unwind at the lodge. End the day with a sumptuous dinner at the lodge’s restaurant before retiring to your comfortable room.
Day 2: Morning Safari and Departure
Wake up early to the sounds of the jungle and prepare for another thrilling safari experience. The morning safari, starting around 6:00 AM, is one of the best times to spot wildlife. As you venture into the forest, the crisp morning air and the sight of the sun rising over the trees create a magical atmosphere. Keep your eyes peeled for tigers on the prowl, herds of deer grazing in the meadows, and a variety of bird species welcoming the new day.
After an exhilarating morning in the wild, return to the lodge by around 11:00 AM. Freshen up and enjoy a hearty breakfast. As your Raksha Bandhan adventure draws to a close, check out from the lodge after breakfast. If time permits, you might want to visit a nearby tribal village to learn about the local culture or take a tranquil walk along Tadoba Lake’s edge. The serenity of the lake offers a perfect ending to your short but memorable getaway.
Bid farewell to the wilderness and begin your journey back home, carrying with you the memories of an unforgettable Raksha Bandhan spent in the heart of nature.
