Park-by-park sighting odds, not generic "India tiger tour" packaging. Each entry includes the species the park is genuinely best for, the season window, and the booking lead time.
Plan around the species — tigers at Bandhavgarh and Tadoba (March-May, hot-water-hole pattern); rhinos at Kaziranga (Nov-Apr); snow leopards at Hemis (Jan-Feb). One park per trip; jumping parks burns the buffer needed for repeat sightings.
