WILDLIFE
India boasts of a vast and varied wildlife. Over 90,000 sq. km. of
protected wilderness, consisting of as many as 53 national parks and
almost 250 sanctuaries that makes them the home of over 350 mammals and
1,200 bird species, many of which are unique to the Indian
sub-continent. Once famous for its white tiger, the royal Bengal tiger,
the snow leopard, the Asiatic lion and the great Indian bustard, Indian
wildlife is among the most varied in the world.
Most
national parks and sanctuaries are easily accessible from major Indian metro
cities. Whichever part of the country you may be in, you are never really far
away from a wildlife reserve. From Delhi in the north you have close getaways to
Corbett National Park (named after Jim Corbett for its wild elephants,
variety of deer and rich bird life); to Bharatpur, where you can view
over 120 species of birds including the famed Siberian crane; Ranthambore
National Park in Rajasthan with a large population of tiger, deer and
leopards, In central India, you have the Kanha National Park, which is
amongst the finest reserves in Asia. In the west, the wild ass lives in the
little Rann of Kutch and the Asiatic lion can be seen at the Gir
National Park. In the east you have the one horned Rhino reserve at Kaziranga
and the mangrove swamps at Sundarbans. In the south, excellent
sanctuaries, famous for wild elephants, can be visited at Periyar, Bandipur
and Mudumalai.
