When we look forward to something, we are fairly certain that it's going to happen, it's an expected event. When we wish for something we want it to happen but we are far from certain that it will.
Example:
"I'm looking forward to going to India in December" I've booked the tickets.
"I wish I could go to India in December" I can't, I can't afford the tickets.
