What are the famous Wild Life Sanctuaries in India?
India has rich and diverse wildlife. Almost 24.16 % of India's land is under forests. There are at least 500 wildlife sanctuaries in India, which attract travellers and tourists from all parts of the world. Let us have a look at some of them.
Sunderbans national park
Covering an area of 10,000 sq. kilometers, this is the largest tidal mangrove forest in the world. It is located in the delta of the Bay of Bengal that is between the countries of India and Bangladesh.
Since there is an interconnected waterway throughout the area, it is possible to access almost all the corners of this national park. It is home to the famous and almost extinct Royal Bengal tiger apart from also housing crocodiles and many types of snakes as well.
This is one of the best wildlife sanctuaries in India and not only animals but it also provides us to connect with nature and its beauty.
Gir national park
This is the only national park where you can find the Asian lion in its natural habitat.
This is a very highly protected reserve as they protect the Asian lion which is endangered and only 411 of them remain.
This park is also home to many other species of animals like leopards, sloth bears, four horned antelopes, eagles, and woodpeckers. Though tourists are allowed into the park they are only allowed on monitored paths that have already been designated to them.
Kanha national park
This national park was the inspiration for Rudyard Kipling’s novel, the jungle book. The park offers lush green meadows and bamboo forests.
This park has a variety of animals that include Panthers, Bengal tiger, mongoose, and sloths as well.
Jim Corbett national park
This park covers an area of about 1300 square kilometers and is considered heaven for animal lovers.
This is situated in the foothills of the Himalayas and it is basically famous for housing the Bengal tiger and also Asiatic elephants. There are the animals that are more talked about but they are rare to get a glimpse of but there are also other animals that aren’t talked about much but they are much more easily seen like the barking deer, langur monkey, wild elephant, and sambars.
This is also home to over 600 different species of birds as well.
Ranthambore national park
This park is famous for tigers and also other animals like wild boars, peacocks, hyenas and sloth bears.
We can tour the national park in a jeep or safari but most people go on more than one ride as it is difficult to spot a tiger on your first visit which leaves the people unsatisfied as the tiger is the main reason that so many people flock together at this park.
It is also said that this park consists of some of the largest Banyan trees in the country but verifying that is a task close to impossible as there are tigers that roam freely in that area.
