TRAVELS<br />

INDIA<br />

GO DEEP INTO THE<br />

WILDERNESS OF INDIA FOR<br />

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS WITH<br />

RHINOS, TIGERS AND EXOTIC<br />

BIRDS.<br />

Jungle Travels India is an<br />

award-winning destination management<br />

company that specialises in wildlife and<br />

birding tours throughout India and with<br />

particular emphasis on Eastern India.<br />

For over 29 years now, we have been<br />

leading wildlife and birding tours to<br />

some of India’s best national parks and<br />

sanctuaries, including lesser-known ones<br />

that may not be large in size but are still<br />

teeming with life.<br />

One of 17 megadiverse countries in the<br />

world, India is incredibly rich in wildlife<br />

and birds. There are 103 national parks<br />

and 537 wildlife sanctuaries in India,<br />

out of which 37 national parks and 137<br />

wildlife sanctuaries are<br />

located in India’s eastern belt.<br />

Within this belt, Northeast India<br />

deserves special mention for its<br />

abundant flora and fauna. Supporting<br />

the world’s highest density of the Royal<br />

Bengal Tiger (Kaziranga National Park) and<br />

the One-horned Rhinoceros<br />

(Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary),<br />

Northeast India is also home to more than<br />

850 species of birds, including hornbills,<br />

White-winged Wood Duck, Firetailed<br />

Myzornis, Bengal Florican and Temminck’s<br />

Tragopan, making this region<br />

one of the most biodiverse<br />

in the country.<br />

In addition to India’s eastern belt, other<br />

areas of the country are also notable for<br />

their diversity in flora and fauna.<br />
