Some of them date back to the 12th century, and the main temple contains thousands of brass bells, which create a nice chime when struck together.

Then drive for another 20 minutes up to an eco-friendly lodge, where lunch is waiting for you. After eating, continue your tour to the Chambal River to reach the National Chambal Sanctuary, covering a distance of 12 miles (20 km). Your 2-hour river safari begins here, where you'll board a motorized boat equipped with all necessary equipment and a naturalist, who helps you spot wildlife and tells you about the river's native animals and vegetation. Look for a gharials (members of the crocodile family) basking in the sun, watch for migratory birds, and try to spot freshwater dolphins.

When the river cruise ends, you will be returned to your hotel in Agra for drop-off.

We had a wonderful day with Sunny - he looked after us very well indeed. We saw lots of alligators and crocodiles and many different bird species. We even saw a couple of jungle cats! The wildlife ranger on the boat trip was particularly knowledgeable and took great photos on my phone for me using his binoculars. Seeing Indian village life on the way to and from the Chambal River was also a highlight.

Good tour. saw lots of bird and crocodiles. However no ghariyals.

Tour could be longer as we were picked up at 6 am and dropped at around 12.30 pm.

It was said that the tour could be of 10 hours.

Ich hatte mit Sunny und seinem Team einen tollen Tag am Chambal River. Nach dem Lärm und der Hektik in Agra war das Erholung pur. Dass wir dann auch noch mehrere Alligatoren und Gaviale gesehen haben, hat dem gelungenen Tag noch das sogenannte Tüpfelchen auf dem i verliehen.
