Wildlife Tours

The Indian subcontinent has varied physical and climatic conditions and types of vegetation, stretching from the northern temperate Zone to the equator and embracing such contrasting regions as the Himalayas in the north and tropical sea-coast in the south. 

The first National Park in India was set up in 1936 in the foot hills of Himalayas in Uttar Pradesh and was known as Hailey National Park. It is now known as Corbett National Park names after Jim Corbett. In 1970, there were only five National Parks, namely Kanha, Bandhavgarh, Shivpuri, Taroba and Corbett. Now there are about 87 National Parks in India. 

India today has the largest number of tigers in the world. The tiger population is widely distributed over the forests of India ranging from the sub-alpine Himalayas to down south and across east-west, but excluding Kashmir valley and the desert and arid portions of Rajasthan and Kutch. But the fact remains that the tiger is in danger of extinction. The Project Tiger was launched in India in 1973-74 as a conservation programme for saving the Indian Tiger Population. Now there are 28 tiger reserves in India. 

The common wild animals of India are Apes, Monkeys & Lemur, Bears, Hyenas & Sheep, Cats (Tigers & Leopards etc), Civets, Mongoose & various Dog Tribes, Crocodiles, Tortoise & Lizards, Deer’s, Elephants, Buffaloes, Wild Ass & Rhinoceros, Goats, Goat Antelopes & Antelopes, Snakes, The Weasel Tribe, Insectivores, Pangolins & Rodents. With over 1250 species of birds, India is also a paradise for bird lovers.
