Day 1: Arrival & Afternoon Safari
Arrive at Sterling Tipeshwar and settle in amid the sounds of the sanctuary — unwind, breathe, and let the wilderness find you.
A leisurely lunch awaits, followed by an unhurried afternoon to rest and recharge. As golden hour descends, venture into the forest for your first Tipeshwar jungle safari — the light is at its most magical, and the wildlife most active.
Return to the resort for dinner under the stars. Share stories of the evening’s sightings, then retire for the night — the forest wakes early, and so will you.
Day 2: Morning & Afternoon Safari
Set out before sunrise — when the jungle is at its most alive and tiger sightings are most likely. A forest breakfast accompanies you en route, making for an unforgettable start to the day.
Return to Sterling Tipeshwar by late morning for a hearty breakfast and a brief rest. The afternoon calls you back to the forest — this time through a different safari gate, revealing a new side of Tipeshwar’s wilderness.
End the day with dinner and a peaceful night’s rest, the sounds of the wild your only soundtrack.

Spend a relaxed final morning exploring the resort grounds or simply soaking in the serenity. Savour your breakfast before checking out.
