Home to a large variety of flora and fauna, India is the first choice of any wildlife enthusiast who wishes to befriend them in the diverse terrains. From fierce Royal Bengal tigers, Asiatic Elephants to One-Horn Rhinoceros, India prides itself for its 18 Bio-Reserves, 89 national parks and around 400 wildlife sanctuaries.
The story of every national park began from the times of the Maharajas who used it as a hunting ground. Due to the loss of many species and human interference, the rich spots have been turned into a wildlife sanctuary and national park. For a healthy interference between human and the wild, various safari packages have been designed. Authorities as well as private players provide a plethora of jeep, elephant, boat and hiking safaris keeping in mind the safety of the animals and the bio-diversity. At India Luxury Tours we carefully design every package to make the experiential wildlife tours more specific and adventurous.
