2. India's first national park, Corbett was established
in 1936 by legendary tiger hunter Jim Corbett.
It's located in Uttarakhand, around three hours
from Nainital and seven hours from Delhi. The
park is a large one and has five zones. One zone,
Jhirna, is open all year round. The rest of the
park closes during the monsoon. The chances of
seeing a tiger at Corbett aren't great but there
are plenty of other animals, and elephant safaris
are possible. For the best wildlife viewing, stay
deep in the reserve in the Dhikala zone.

4. Kanha National Park, in Madhya Pradesh, has
the honor of providing the setting for
Rudyard Kipling's classic novel, The Jungle
Book. It's rich in lush saal and bamboo
forests, lakes, streams and open grasslands.
This large park is well regarded for its
research and conendangered servation
programs, and many species have been saved
there. As well as tigers, the park abounds
with barasingha (swamp deer) and an
extensive variety of other animals and birds.

6. Bandhavgarh, also in Madhya Pradesh, is best
known for its spectacular setting, as well as
having the highest concentration of tigers in
any park in India. The park features dense
green valleys and rocky hill terrain, with an
ancient fort built on 800 meter (2,624 ft) high
cliffs. Although it's relatively difficult to
reach, this park offers the best chance of
seeing tigers. Elephants are also available for
tiger tracking and safaris.

8. Ranthambore is a fascinating blend of history
and nature. Inside the park is a formidable
fort that was built in the 10th century and
coveted by many rulers due to its strategic
position between north and central India. The
park itself is characterized by rocky plains
and steep cliffs. It supports a diverse range of
flora and fauna, including around 30 tigers.
This park is very popular due to its proximity
to Delhi and the fact that tigers are relatively
easy to spot here.

10. Sunderbans is a magnificent tangle of
mangrove jungle that's the only one of its
kind in the world. It's spread over 54 islands
and extends into neighboring Bangladesh.
The Sundarbans is only accessible by boat
and exploring it this way is a thrilling
experience that shouldn't be missed. Don't be
hopeful of seeing any tigers though. They're
very shy and usually remain well hidden in
the reserve.

12. Kruger National Park is one of the largest game
reserves in Africa. It covers 18,989 square
kilometers (7,332 sq mi) and extends 360
kilometers (220 mi) from north to south and 65
kilometers (40 mi) from east to west.To the west
and south of the Kruger National Park are the two
South African provinces of Limpopo and
Mpumalanga. In the north is Zimbabwe, and to
the east is Mozambique. It is now part of the
Great Limpopo Trans frontier Park, a peace park
that links Kruger National Park with the
Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe, and with
the Limpopo National Park in Mozambique.

14. Machu Picchu is the site of an ancient Inca city,
high in the Andes of Peru. Located at 2,430
metres (8,000 ft), this UNESCO World
Heritage site is often referred to as “The Lost
City of the Incas”, is one of the most familiar
symbols of the Incan Empire, and is one of
the most famous and spectacular sets of
ruins in the world — a visit to Peru would not
be complete without it.
15. Sagarmatha National Parkis a protected area in the
Himalayas of eastern Nepal containing the southern
half of Mount Everest. The park was created on July
19, 1976 and was inscribed as a Natural World
Heritage Site in 1979.The park encompasses an area
of 1,148 km2 in the Solukhumbu District and ranges
in elevation from 2,845 metres (9,334 ft) at Jorsalle
to 8,848 metres (29,029 ft) at the summit of Mount
Everest.Barren land above 5,000 m (16,400 ft)
comprises 69% of the park while 28% is grazing land
and the remaining 3% is forested. Most of the park
area is very rugged and steep, with its terrain cut by
deep rivers and glaciers. Unlike other parks, this park
can be divided into four climate zones because of the
rising altitude.

17. Located in a calcium-carbonate sediment that
creates the illusion of a golden dragon, the
Yellow Dragon Scenic Area in China is the home
to that cuddly and cute Giant Panda— the most
recognizable face of WWF. An amazing eco-
system that breathes the oriental style, snow-
covered peaks, waterfalls, gorges, primeval
forests, and hot springs along with rare and
endangered species like the Giant Panda and the
Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkey, this is the
ultimate place for photographers.
