There are over 80 national parks
and 500 wildlife sanctuaries in
India, which reflect the
importance that the country
places on nature and wildlife
conservation. The variety of
wildlife in India is incredibly
diverse and being able to view
these animals and birds in their
natural habitat is an experience
of a lifetime.
Many vistors come to India
wanting to see the infamous
tiger. The chance of spotting a
tiger greatly depends on the size
of the national park and the
number of tigers, and is higher
at some parks than others.
Here are five of the best national
parks to see tigers and other
wildlife in India.

2011/03/13 14:24Sunderbans is a magnificent
tangle of mangrove jungle thats
the only one of its kind in the
world. It s spread over 54 islands
and extends into neighboring
Bangladesh. The Sundarbans is
only accessible by boat and
exploring it this way is a thrilling
experience that shouldn t be
missed. Dont be hopeful of
seeing any tigers though. Theyre
very shy and usually remain well
hidden in the reserve.

2011/03/13 14:24Bandhavgarh is best known for
its spectacular setting, as well
as having the highest
concentration of tigers in any
park in India. The park features
dense green valleys and rocky hill
terrain, with an ancient fort built
on 800 meter (2,624 ft) high
cliffs. Although it's relatively
difficult to reach, this park
offers the best chance of seeing
tigers. Elephants are also
available for tiger tracking in the
morning and treks in the evening.

2011/03/13 14:24Kanha National Park has the
honor of providing the setting
for Rudyard Kipling s classic
novel, The Jungle Book. Its rich in
lush saal and bamboo forests,
lakes, streams and open
grasslands. This large park is well
regarded for its research and
conservation programs, and
many endangered species have
been saved there. As well as
tigers, the park abounds with
barasingha (swamp deer) and an
extensive variety of other
animals and birds.

2011/03/13 14:25Nagarhole gains its name from
the snake like river that winds
its way through it. The park is a
place of unspoilt wilderness, with
serene forest, bubbling streams,
and a tranquil lake. Nagarhole can
be explored by jeep, elephant
back and boat. Visitors can also
go trekking. The park offers the
opportunity to see elephants
close up in their natural habitat,
and it s not unusual to see herds
of elephants on the river bank.
However, the likelihood of seeing
a tiger here is quite rare
compared to parks such as
Bandhavgarh in the north.

2011/03/13 14:25Ranthambore is a fascinating
blend of history and nature.
Inside the park is a formidable
fort that was built in the 10th
century and coveted by many
rulers due to its strategic
position between north and
central India. The park itself is
characterized by rocky plains
and steep cliffs. It supports a
diverse range of flora and fauna,
including around 30 tigers. This
park is very popular due to its
proximity to Delhi and the fact
that tigers are relatively easy to
spot here.
