Within
the boundaries of India's National Parks is some of the best bengal tiger
habitat in the world.There is no doubt that the Indian sub-continent is one
of the great wonders of our world. On a single morning in this country the
dawn light touches people and wildlife whose diversity of living conditions
and habitat is remarkable. It is an incredible country filled with glorious
scenery, spectacular wildlife and a remarkable heritage of architectural
wealth that has been created by a mosaic of civilisations and religions.
Ranthambhore , Kanha , Bandhavgarh , Corbett, Kaziranga and Panna all
provide opportunities to see tigers in the wild, and more importantly enable
us to learn about the plight of the Bengal tiger. Observing your first wild
tiger is a truly memorable experience, you will feel privileged to be
viewing them in their natural habitat. As well as tiger parks India offers
unique bird sanctuaries, such as Bharatpur , where a wealth of native and
migratory birds can be seen, the winter visiting Siberian Cranes are a
particular highlight. Another unique destination is Sasan Gir where the last
remaining Asiatic Lions retain a strong hold in Gujurat. We encourage all
our guides and travellers to behave in a responsible manner when watching
and photographing resident wildlife.
A jeep, or 'gypsy', safari allows viewing of several different areas of the
park, thus affording the visitor the best chance of seeing the diversity of
fauna and flora on offer. It is also possible in some of the parks, for
example Bandhavgarh and Kanha, to take an elephant safari into the core,
which can result in some interesting encounters with resident tigers.
Several of Sri Lanka's National Parks allow you to walk inside the park to
really get close to the wildlife.
