Wildlife tours in India offer an incredible mix of experiences in different habitats and watching a wide variety of wildlife. A high degree of biodiversity runs throughout the country’s fascinating framework of ecosystems ranging from the sultry evergreen forests of the northeast and southwest to the scorching deserts of the western state of Rajasthan.
If you choose a wildlife holiday in India you will most likely be hoping to catch a glimpse of one or two of its large charismatic mammals – Bengal Tiger, Snow Leopard, Black Panther, Asian Elephant, Sloth Bear and One-horned Rhino – but the range of other species you can also encounter is awe-inspiring.
If you are a fan of primates, for instance, you could set out to spot some of the eight types of macaque and 10 members of the langur family, or see the captivatingly beautiful Slow and Slender Lorises. If you are into cats you could focus on the larger varieties, such as the Asiatic Lion in Gir National Park or the Clouded Leopard, or the secretive smaller felids such as the Rusty-spotted Cat, Jungle Cat, Indian Civet or Caracal.
For birdwatchers, wildlife tours in India offer a selection of over 1,300 bird species, from the mighty Pallas’s Fish Eagle to the Jungle Owlet and the Crimson Sunbird to the Pied Kingfisher. A myriad of waders, birds of prey, seabirds and passerines can be found in each region’s specialist habitats. With the help of a good local bird guide you will find yourself in an avian paradise on a holiday to India.
And that’s not all. Your Indian wildlife encounters must also include sightings of some of more than 100 bat species, 450 reptiles, 200 amphibians and over 1,000 butterflies.
