Indian WildlifeOwing to its incredibly diverse landscape, climate and vegetation from mountains to woodlands and jungles, India is home to a multitude of different mammals, birds and reptiles. A large number of Maharajahs’ hunting grounds have become National Parks providing them with a protected environment. | |
 Frankly, these vary widely in the number of indigenous animals present and your chances of seeing them.We have therefore concentrated on the more renowned parks which tend to have a higher standard of lodges. We have only mentioned some of the lodges here to give an idea of the facilities and standards.   As all the parks are managed by the government, they operate in the same way with two game drives taking places each day, one early morning and the other mid afternoon. Visitors enter the park in private jeeps with a naturalist and government spotter and the visit lasts around three to four hours. WHEN TO TRAVEL The national parks can be visited from October to March when the daytime temperatures are comfortable, 20 – 30 centigrade. Early morning game viewing is likely to be chilly with temperatures just above freezing during December and January. From March onwards, the vegetation starts to dry out and water pools become more frequently used making wildlife viewing easier. | Holiday ideasCultural toursHotels |
