Listen to the alluring symphony of nature at the world's largest riverine delta, Sundarbans. Also listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, you can find this treasure of natural wealth in West Bengal. The expansive delta is formed by the confluence of three rivers Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna on the coast of the Bay of Bengal. It spreads its boundaries in 40,000 sq. km. area running from India to Bangladesh. With so many celebratory miracles, the main draw of Sundarbans is Sundarban National Park which is famous for nurturing a mind-blowing variety of wildlife.
Sundarbans is a Bengali word which translates into 'Beautiful trees'. The place received its name from the luxuriant growth of ‘Sundari trees’ that dominates a major part of the delta. In addition to the national park, there are more interesting places that will bring you close to nature.
Of the four watch towers of Sundarbans, Sajnekhali Watch Tower is the second most important that renders exciting sights of animals. Climb to this towering spot and enjoy the views of several animal species like tigers and crocodiles. Enhance your experience with a visit to the close-by museum and Crocodile Park. After visiting these you can also hop to the famous Bonbibi temple.
Catch eye-pleasing views from another majestic viewpoint viz. Sudanyakhali Watch tower. It is recommended to plan your visit early in the morning that will show you the best possible views of the animals. Savor the bird's eye view of the verdant Sundari and Gewa forests of Sundarbans. Along with it, you are likely to spot animals like spotted deer and wild boar.
Netidhopani comes with a picturesque location and an intriguing legend of Behula and Lakhindari. It is said that Behula was carrying her dead husband on a boat passing through the bank called Netidhopani, encountered an interesting thing. She saw a lady who magically put her baby to death by sprinkling some water and then back again to life by doing the same. She asked the lady to teach her the secret mantra for reviving her husband. The watchtower will please you with marvelous views of a 400-year-old Shiva temple. It also features a serene water pond.
Sundarbans National Park is one of the famous national parks of India. It is also a designated tiger reserve and biosphere reserve. For those interested in nature and wildlife, it is a paradise with mind-blowing species of plants, animals and birds. The main attraction is Royal Bengal tiger and other animals like Pangolin, Macaques, Ridley Sea Turtle, Indian Grey Mongoose, Leopard Cats and Wild Boar.
Take a dive in the fascinating avian world at the famous Sajnekhali Bird Sanctuary. Enjoy birding spotting beautiful and colorful birds that reside in this huge protected area. Some of the popular species are herons and egrets. Sundarbans is a blissful place gifting people one of the best experiences with nature. Its inexplicable flora and fauna is a heart-thumping venture into the wild.

UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE !
I just came back from a 12 days Rajasthan tour. It was just myself and my 14 year olde daughter. I found Caper surfing the web and had non suggestion from friends and had never read comments or reviews about it. Totally "blind-choice". I was very lucky. The organization was really excellent. The agent that followed us, Mr. Praveen Juyal did a great job. I decided our itinerary and he punctually gave me suggestions on the best management of my choices. The hotel choice was fine and confirmed expectations. We had tour guides in every site seeing location and they were all extremely professional, very punctual and really kind and polite.
But I must say that what made the trip even better was our driver; Mr. Deshraj.
One of those persons that you really wish you could meet once in your life. Not only an excellent driver but always helpful, respectful and friendly. He explained us many things about Indian life along the journey and sometimes stopped for short breaks in beautiful places on the road that were not even mentioned in the guide books. My only regret is that at the end of the trip I didn't have much money left and I left a tip probably not adeguate for the kind of service but I will definitely send him try to sort this maybe in a next trip. Thank you very much Caper and Deshraj.

A Memorable Trip
We recently concluded a 12 day driving tour of New Delhi, Agra and Rajasthan with Caper Travel. It was most enjoyable !! The logistics arrangements were excellent - from tour planning , hotel selection , vehicle condition to driver. Mr Alok handled the planning, and Mr Vikram was our Tempo driver throughout the journey. Mr Vikram was very helpful , accommodating and patient throughout the tour, despite long hours of driving on the roads ( not to mention India traffic}. We would not hesitate to recommend Caper to our fellow travellers who are thinking of visiting India. Thank You Caper !

Golden triangle goa and mumbia
Just come back from an amazing 2 week trip to India. First we done the golden triangle which we chose to do the train trip from Delhi to Agra a must you have to do if not just for the experience. All the cities were wonderful but be prepared to see lots of temple one seems to run into another but wow the taj was my highlight along with the Hindu temple in Delhi. The driving the cows the dogs are everywhere are all an experience. Goa was beautiful we stayed at the taj exotica. In mumbia we done a city tour and ended our trip in the taj for afternoon tea another must. It is a exhilarating trip but one I will never forget. From booking with Manika to all the drivers and guides they were always there to meet us from the airport and hotels on time. They really looked after us thank you all.

Wonderful trip
We have just returned from our first trip to India and we must say it was absolutely fascinating. The itinerary was first class and covered everything we could have wished for. On arrival we were met by a very nice rep and driver who took us to our hotel and sorted out the necessary paperwork with us. We had our driver Vishan for our time in the north and he was terrific, kept the vehicle spotless and kept us supplied with water. We then flew to the south of India and met up with our driver Suhdeer who again was very nice and very informative about things as we drove along. The guides we had on all our trips were excellent and again very informative.
The only down side to it all was that in our package we paid for the drivers accommodation, food and allowance only to find out that the drivers don’t receive this money and if they want accommodation they have to pay for it themselves. We ended up paying one of our drivers an amount for the nights that we had him for him to get somewhere to sleep and food as we were concerned that if he slept in his car he wouldn’t be rested enough to take on the next day driving for 4-5 hours.
All in all Caper Travel are excellent in their planning and can’t fault them for that.

Caper travel
Recently traveled to India on a private guided tour with Caper Travel. Ms. Mumtaz Khan worked with me on arranging my itinerary.
She was always available to answer all my concerns immediately. On my arrival in Delhi I was welcome with warm smile at the airport by a young gentleman name Kapol Joshi . My experience with the company was amazing and I would highly recommend to anyone traveling to India.
I would also like to mention the personal attention I received at Amritsar by Aman Shara and his lovely wife who welcomed me and my son to their home
and soon to open their beautiful hotel.
