Famed internationally for its abundant wildlife, India is blessed with a natural habitat for all kinds of birds and animals. You’ll find tigers, lions, elephants, snow leopards, deer, one-horned rhinos and scores of birds of all sizes and colors that dot our landscape. To them, India is their natural home.

You can visit them in any of our wildlife sanctuaries by taking one of the many Wildlife Tour Packages in India. If you are a wildlife enthusiast, you could take an India Wildlife Tour in as many sanctuaries of the country as you like. Typically, you will find them in Ranthambhore, Jim Corbett, Kaziranga, Tadoba, Kerala and Kanha, among others.

You can choose to visit the sanctuaries in north India and later in south India, each of course being an adrenaline-pumping experience. To visit a couple of sanctuaries in north India, you would perhaps choose to go on a Cultural & Wild Rajasthan with Kerala Backwaters Tour.

This comprises visiting the contrasting states of lush green Kerala and the sandy desert land of Rajasthan. Amid your sightseeing of various parts of these states, stop awhile at the Keoladev Bird Sanctuary in Bharatpur, Dholpur’s Gharial Wildlife Sanctuary and eventually the Periyar National Park, in Kochi. The backwaters of Kochi are too serene to be missed and they have a calming effect on you, as you row across the waters enjoying the greenery all around.

Across the river Chambal lies the Dholpur Gharial Sanctuary, famous for crocodiles, dolphins and turtles. Three hours away is the Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary where you can watch birds early in the morning.

When finally you wind your way to the wildlife sanctuary at Periyar, you will get to see several tigers and elephants, among other wildlife.

Historical sites of Kerala are as charming as they are impressive, but once it’s time to leave, you’ll need to bid goodbye to the wonders of these places.

Another option is the Golden Triangle with Ranthambhore Tour. Explore the history and culture of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur and enjoy an early morning visit to the Ranthambhore National Park, the home of the Royal Bengal tigers. Spot the several species of wildlife in the park, return to the hotel for your breakfast and set out again for an afternoon safari.

Yet another wildlife tour, which will thrill you endlessly, is the Khajuraho Dance Festival with Panna Wildlife Tour. Once you see the famous erotic sculpture Khajuraho temples, move on to the Panna Wildlife Tour. At the Panna Tiger Reserve, Madhya Pradesh, you can spot tigers, chital, leopard, sloth bear, chinkara, sambhar and nilgai. You can also spot over 200 bird species, including the king vulture, bar-headed goose, honey buzzard, Indian vulture, blossom-headed parakeet and others.

If you’re heading southwards, the South India Wildlife Safari Tour will showcase all the various animals and birds you can see at the Nagarhole National Park, Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary and Deer Park, Doddabetta.
