Big Cats and Wildlife Hotspots Showcase Wild Planet Adventures’ Wildlife Expertise in Thailand and India

(EMAILWIRE.COM, November 04, 2009 ) SAUSALITO, California—Wild Planet Adventures, an award-winning wildlife outfitter specializing in adventure vacations to the world’s most exotic wildlife destinations, is now offering unprecedented wildlife safaris to Thailand and Laos and India. Designed especially for wildlife and nature lovers, these non-commercial tours feature special activities and remote locations that allow travelers to encounter the largest volume of wildlife possible. 

India: Leopards, Tigers and Palaces eliminates the need to choose between India’s spiritually rich cultural experiences or its classic wildlife safaris – this eco-tour provides the very best of both.  It is one of the most comprehensive multi-safaris available in India, featuring safaris in 5 very different National Parks, by jeep, elephant-back and camel-back, where travelers can thrill to the sight of wild leopards, rhinoceros, elephants, tigers and more. In addition, travelers will feel transported back to a romantic era of turbaned warriors, valiant princes, and sultry harems as they explore the golden-hued desert strongholds of Jodhpur and Jaipur, the magnificent Taj Mahal, the remote villages of Rajasthan and off-the-beaten-track Assam, meet the Bishnois sect of Hindus who revere wildlife as part of their religion, and experience the dramatic rivers, fabled jungles and profuse big game of this exotic jewel. 13 and 19 day safaris are available. 

Thailand and Laos: The ancient forests of Kaeng Krachan, the largest and least visited National Park in Thailand, is one of 5 reserves featured in the “Ultimate Wildlife eco-tour of Thailand & Laos. Here, wildlife lovers can still see leopards, tigers, 6 species of primates, flying fox, sun bear, and enjoy a full day tracking elephants in the wild. In addition, the trip features Thailand's famous islands, beaches and limestone karst, a tiger sanctuary where travelers can play with baby tiger cubs, an eco-responsible elephant camp where travelers learn how to communicate with the elephants, Thai cooking, Buddhist temples, and a wide variety of cultural experiences. The climax of the trip is six exclusive tree houses, accessible only by an innovative network of zip lines, that offer a rare opportunity to witness the mating courtship of gibbons, who sing love duets to each other while morning mist burns off the rainforest. This activity, like most of Wild Planet’s, generously supports local conservation initiatives and indigenous communities. 11 and 15 day “Ultimate Wildlife” eco-tours are available.
