Upon reaching the Chambal River, you'll be greeted by a naturalist guide who will provide insights into the unique ecosystem of the Chambal Valley. Before the safari, you can take a moment to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

The boat safari is the highlight of the tour, taking you deep into the river's heart. You’ll board a motorized boat specially designed for wildlife viewing. As you glide over the calm waters, keep an eye out for the critically endangered gharial, which thrives in these waters. The marsh crocodiles, often seen basking on the riverbanks, are also a common sight. The Gangetic dolphins, although shy, might make an appearance, offering an exhilarating experience for wildlife lovers. During the safari, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to observe and photograph the river’s inhabitants in their natural habitat.

After the boat safari, you’ll be taken to nearby birdwatching spots along the riverbanks. The Chambal area is a haven for birdwatchers, with over 300 species of birds. Depending on the season, you may spot migratory birds such as flamingos, pelicans, and Indian skimmers. The resident species, including the Sarus crane and various species of kingfishers, add to the diversity of the region's birdlife.

After a morning filled with wildlife adventures, you'll head to a nearby eco-lodge for a traditional Indian lunch. The lodge offers a peaceful atmosphere, surrounded by nature, where you can relax and enjoy local delicacies.

Post-lunch, the tour continues with a visit to the famous Chambal Ravines. These deep, rugged ravines are carved by the Chambal River and create a dramatic backdrop to the landscape. You’ll have the opportunity to go on a short guided nature walk through the ravines, learning about their formation and the unique plant species that thrive here. The ravines were historically known as a hideout for dacoits, adding a historical element to the tour.

After a day full of exploration, you’ll begin your journey back to Agra. The drive back will again take you through picturesque rural landscapes, offering a relaxing end to the day.
