Top Indian tour operator offers exquisite Wildlife Tour in India; Exclusive Indian Wildlife Tours has everything you need to create the best adventures of the year in India.
The Indian subcontinent, with its size and its scenic differences, is the homeland of an impressive variety of species. With more than 500 species of mammals, 700 reptiles and amphibian types, as well as 2000 species of bird, India is home to the most wildlife found in around the world.
And because of that, India has created 200 wildlife preserves and parks, making it a unique place for animal lovers to visit.
The most impressive animal of India is the Tiger. During the time of the Maharajas, Tigers were hunted as a sport. And because of that, the Tiger was almost extinct. However with the wildlife preserves and actions of various groups, Tigers are found in increasing numbers in the mangrove forests of the Ganges Delta and the environmentally protected parks in Central and South India.
In contrast to Africa, Elephants in India are used as a work animal. They are also considered the "Good Luck Charm" in the Hindu temple or they are colorfully painted to pull carts of God statues in festive processions through the streets. There are wild elephant herds in the northeast as well as in the tropical forests of Central and South India.
Two other animals that are protected are the Asian lion and One-Horned Rhinoceros. The Sasan Gir national park in the northeastern state Gujarat is the last refuge of the Asian lion, while Kaziranga national park in northeast India is home to the One-Horned Rhinoceros.
Top of India Travels will take you on a journey to the national parks where you will see more wildlife than if you visited the plains of Africa. While on the Indian plains, you be able to see the wildlife as they hunt, enjoy a morning drink at a watering hole, or laze in the afternoon heat. Since many animals - including the tiger - live in the jungles and mangroves, there may be limited visibility and you will need to be patient.... because soon you’ll see the tawny tiger stretch and yawn as it sleeps on top of a rock in the shade.
All wildlife preserves and national parks are opened for a certain period between October and July and are closed during the regional monsoon time. Nowhere in the world can you enjoy seeing more animals, birds and reptiles in their natural setting. You will have a chance to go on Jeep safaris, trek through various parks, by rickshaw to watch birds, or by elephant through the thick jungles.
The parks are easy to get to, and the local Lodges and resorts offer top accomodations and some of the best Indian food in the country. Visits to the parks can be combined with your round trip fares.
Make sure you plan your trip around the dates that the parks are open to visitors.
