What is great about having so many options to explore is that you can do it however you want to. Hiking, climbing mountains, taking boat tours, out on jeeps, even riding elephants! There are a lot of tours so you can choose what is least likely to spook the animal you want to catch sight of, be it the royal Bangal tiger, the Indian Spotted Chevrotain, the lion-tailed macaque, the slender loris, the purple heron, painted stork or the Nilgiri langur.

2. India is one of the best destinations for exploring wildlife and forests and taking one of many fantastic nature tours. With more
than 440 wildlife sanctuaries and around 80 national parks, there are not many countries that have so much to offer and nature
lovers can enjoy various common and rare species of fauna and flora, including the magnificent royal Bangal tiger. They are also
perfect opportunities for photographers, and people who enjoy walking, trekking and having adventures surrounded by amazing
scenery.

3. Home to some amazing creatures - India is home to some amazing wildlife, and also the place where hundreds of species of
birds migrate to. It is the last home of the Asiatic Lion, the place where several Tiger sanctuaries are and the royal Bengali tiger
can be found, and more recently where the cheetah was reintroduced. An estimated 60% of the world’s tiger population is in India.
If you are into something other than cats then it is also home to 50% of the world’s Asian elephants, and 80% of the One-horned
Rhinoceros.
There are some great national parks to choose from, you could even make it your goal to visit as many of them as you can!
Bharatpur, Periyar, Gir, Corbett, Ranthambore, and Kaziranga to name just a few. The Royal Bengali tiger can be found in several
places including Corbet where there is also a huge bird population along with a project to protect the Asian Elephant that is
endangered. Gir in India is the only place other than Africa where the lion can be found in a natural habitat rather than a zoo. It is
where you are the most likely to see the leopard as well. 15 endangered species find sanctuary in Kaziranga one of which is the
Great Indian one-horned rhinoceros. You can also see elephants, tigers and wild buffaloes.
