Tiger and Wildlife Safari Destinations in India

Falling in the south eastern sub-tropical range, India is lucky to have a varying geography. This not only helps in conserving a plethora of wildlife in different landscapes but also ensures each of the species are well taken care of in such diverse habitats. In the north, we have one of the best national parks in India –  Corbett National Park, a forested gem that falls beautifully in the laps of the Himalayan Foothills.

It is called the land of the Roar, Trumpet and Song for it pays homage to most number of tigers per square foot, the great Asian elephant and more than 500 species of birds. Moving on to Central India, Kanha National Park is the milieu on which Rudyard Kipling’s ‘Jungle Book’ was penned. This jungle has some of the biggest male tigers the country has ever seen. Other than the tiger, Kanha is one park which has been at the forefront of wildlife conservation in India.

It not only brought back species like the Hard Ground Swamp Deer (Barasingha) but also helped it sister parks with their Tiger and Bison population by successfully translocating a few of them. In the eastern part, one of the best national parks in India –  Kaziranga National Park is a jewel for it is home to the largest population of the Indian One Horned Rhino. The park is also witness to a multitude of Himalayan Bird Species, that bless the jungle with their chirps.

Below is a list of some of the most sought after and toured wildlife destinations in India. These comprise of safari & national parks specific to tiger safaris in India, and some others that diversify into other species as well, like the Asian Elephant, One Horned Rhino, Indian Leopards, Sloth Bears, Indian Gaurs, Dholes are more.
