Aside from India’s crowded cities. Nature enthusiasts can find peaceful oases filled with wildlife. India’s national emblem, the Bengal tiger, is the ultimate excuse for safari holidays. An impressive variety of wild creatures is present in India’s teak forests.
Suppose you’re ready to fulfil a bucket-list dream of seeing a wild Bengal tiger or are eager to spot Asian elephants. Asiatic wild dogs and other species are rarely seen outside of zoological parks. Here are the top superlative spots in India for wildlife watching.
The dense forest and wetlands of southern India’s Nagarahole National Park. It creates one of the nation’s top tiger destinations. Ringed by Western Ghats hills, the park is full of fragrant sandalwood and teak wood, thick bamboo clumps and scores of serpentine streams. Jeep safari is the best way to see big cats. And a ride in a coracle. It is a circular, wood-built boat, down the Kabini River. It is terrific for birdwatching on water, crocodiles, and Indian elephants.
In the floodplains of the Brahmaputra River. Kaziranga National Park was a forest reserve in 1905. It was there to save the greater one-horned rhinoceros from extinction. Poached for their precious horns, rhinos are an easy target for poachers. Two-thirds of the world’s most significant population of rhinos survives in the park today. Many tigers in the reserve are among elephant grass and thick jungle. But you’ll spot buffalo, endangered swamp deer, and river dolphins.
Located between the two ancient cities of Jaipur and Agra. The Keoladeo National Park is a birdwatcher’s paradise. With scores of bird species in its small space. A 19th-century maharaja’s hunting ground. The reserve was a bird sanctuary in 1976 and a national park in 1982. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage site that is helping to protect migratory birds. One of the objectives of National Geographic’s 2018 Year of the Bird program. Several species along the Central Asian flyway. Some that are near extinction overwinter there. Half wetland, half savanna, the park is full of painted storks. And birders enjoy seeing sarus cranes, spoonbills, and black-headed ibises.
Breathtaking Satpura National Park, in central India’s highlands, is a photographer’s dream. Malachite green forests and grasslands are part of ravines and slot canyons, which hide temples and waterfalls. “I love Madhya Pradesh,” says National Geographic photographer Matthieu Paley. “It’s an oasis of genuine India, far from obsessive selfie culture. Make sure you bring enough spare camera batteries.” Leopards, birds, and sloth bears live in the park. But the most thrilling thing about it is the variety of antelopes and deer.
It borders snow-capped mountains and alpine tundra. At the northernmost edge of India in the high Himalaya. Most visit in summer when Buddhist prayer flags wave in the sunlight. But the park is a rugged beauty that remains throughout the year. “Winter is the optimal time to visit Hemis,” Paley suggests. “That’s when landscapes are most stripped.” And that is also a good time to catch a glimpse of this isolated park’s showpiece: snow leopards. Only one new count is pending with an estimate for the year 2013. It indicated that 3,920 to 6,390 snow leopards are still in the wild. Hemis are supposed to have the highest population density, but do not get spotted too often.
It consists of a chain of 15 coral reef-fringing forested islands. Inhabited by indigenous tribes. It is the start of the adventure. And only two of the islands, Jolly Buoy and Red Skin, are available to the public. Even these leave the visitor with a tremendous feeling of being alone. “Sighting a king cobra on her nest, visiting the habitat of the endemic Narcondam hornbill, observing manta rays feeding in the current.”
