Who We Are

Travel Specialists.
Safari Believers.

Incredible Routes is a private safari planning business based in New Delhi. We design Central India tiger safaris around the reserve, the zone and the season that suit you — never around a fixed group itinerary.

Every itinerary is built to order. We handle the decisions that shape a safari: zone strategy, lodge selection, and logistics that keep each transfer unhurried. Permit bookings are made on your behalf through the official channel, subject to availability and regulations.

Across Kanha, Bandhavgarh, Pench, Tadoba, Satpura and Panna, we plan for more than the sighting — the alarm calls at dawn, the rhythm of each reserve through the seasons, and the communities that live alongside these forests. We believe in travel that is memorable without being extractive, and exclusive without being indifferent to the land that makes it possible.

Every safari we design is handled personally by our founders. Not a sales team. Not an operations desk. The person who answers your enquiry is the same person who will be reachable on your first morning in the forest.

Our Philosophy

More Than
a Sighting.

"Every forest in Central India is not just a tiger reserve — it is an entire ecosystem, a whole economy, a living culture that has endured for centuries. We want to show you that India. The real one. Not the checklist, not the highlight reel — the version that stays with you long after you've come home."

We've done African safaris twice. Central India — especially Bandhavgarh with Incredible Routes — was a completely different kind of intimate. The tiger sat beside our jeep for eleven minutes. I stopped photographing and just watched.

What I didn't expect was how much thought went into every hour — the lodge, the naturalist, even which gate we entered from. Our kids (8 and 11) came back changed. That's the only word for it.

One of my best tiger sightings ever. We were fortunate to witness a complete tiger family at Tadoba's Zari Core Zone, including the male, female and two cubs. An unforgettable safari experience.

The Landscape

One Landscape.
Many Forests.

Central India's tiger reserves are spread across a vast belt of sal and teak forest. Each has its own terrain, its own gates and its own rhythm — which is why the order of your route matters as much as the reserve itself.

We plan the sequence, the zones and the lodges around how these forests actually connect on the ground.

The Six Reserves

Choose Your
Forest

Each reserve has a distinct character. We help you find yours.

Kanha National Park
01
Madhya Pradesh
Kanha
The meadows that inspired Kipling. Vast sal forests, the rare barasingha, and tiger zones that feel like stepping into another century.
Bandhavgarh National Park
02
Madhya Pradesh
Bandhavgarh
India's highest tiger density. Ancient ruins deep in the core zone, and mornings where the forest tells you exactly where to look.
Pench Tiger Reserve
03
Madhya Pradesh
Pench
Mowgli's forest. Teak, a shimmering reservoir, habitually relaxed tigers — and a pace that suits families experiencing the wild for the first time.
Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve
04
Maharashtra
Tadoba
Maharashtra's crown jewel. Dramatic watering holes, open terrain, and tigers photographed in light that doesn't ask you to wait.
Satpura National Park
05
Madhya Pradesh
Satpura
India's only walking safari reserve. Ancient Vindhyan ridges, rich birdlife, and a slower, deeper immersion into the forest — beyond the tiger.
Panna National Park
06
Madhya Pradesh
Panna
Ken River gorges and open plateau forest, home to one of India's most celebrated tiger recoveries — and a natural pairing with Khajuraho.
How We Work

The Way We
Plan Yours

01

We Listen First

No packages, no pre-set itineraries. Your first conversation is with our founders — not a sales executive. We ask about your family, your pace, what you've loved in past travels, and what you've wished was different.

02

We Design Around You

Best season for your dates. Right reserve for your interests. Lodge that matches your idea of comfort — from intimate tented camps to luxury forest retreats. Everything chosen with intent, nothing default.

03

We Stay With You

From permit bookings to transfers to gate timings — we manage the invisible logistics so your only job is to be present in the forest. Our founders are reachable at every step, not just at invoice time.

Where You'll Stay

Our Lodge Partners

We work only with properties that have earned our personal trust. Every lodge below has been experienced, vetted, and chosen because it elevates — not just accommodates.

Bandhavgarh

The Samode Safari Lodge at Bandhavgarh is the region's most refined address — heritage hospitality taken deep into the forest. Think colonial elegance, attentive service, and a viewing deck that faces the core zone directly.

Reni Pani Jungle Lodge
