“We've now completed three safaris through Kunal: Ranthambore, Jim Corbett, and Kaziranga. We are repeat customers for a reason! Kunal truly takes care of you. He is thoroughly transparent and very quick with communication. He also places you with excellent guides and lodges at every step of the journey.”

“Great experience and really well organised! Kunal organised absolutely everything for our safari in Jim Corbett National Park and it went very smoothly. We had a really great time in Jim's Jungle Retreat and would definitely go back, organising through Travel With again.”

“Travel With organized a fantastic trip for our family of four to Panna National Park and Khajuraho; everything was very smooth! The drivers were on time and courteous, and the Khajuraho guide was definitely a subject matter expert. He kept the whole family engaged from start to finish, and every detail was handled exactly as promised.”

Frequently asked questions.
The winter season is ideal weather-wise, with some fog on the morning safaris. In the dry season, from February onwards, as the grasslands and woodlands lose foliage, visibility gets better and sightings of animals improve.
As an up-and-coming reserve, Pilibhit rewards travellers who like to be early to a place.
Tigers in a classic Terai landscape of tall grass and canal-side forest, plus a real chance at rare mammals — the honey badger, fishing cat and leopard cat — and good birdlife. Sightings take patience in a low-density reserve.
Pilibhit is around an hour from Bareilly airport and reachable from Lucknow and Delhi. We arrange a pre-booked taxi and all transfers.
