India is a vast land
comprising 32 hundred thousand sq. Km. It has a unique topography comprising of
tallest mountains to plain hot and cold deserts. Abundant rivers flow
throughout the country inundating vast lands. The topography creates a tortured

taken into account. The seas are full of aquatic creatures simply put there is
no wilderness like India in the World.
The Tiger

Tiger is the most coveted species and there are 52 tiger reserves where you can
see them. The most popular reserves are:

But the big cats are
seen everywhere in all reserves. So you can choose whichever you want. For
tiger safari, a permit is required without which you cannot take part in game
rides. So before making travel arrangements, you should book a tiger safari
permits. You can book a tiger safari permit through a tour agent. You can also
book through MPOnline and Field Officers at respective tiger reserves.
Likewise, you can

should be done through a tour operator in India or one in your country. Making
a wildlife trip to India is not easy because of the distance and scant
facilities. Always book through a tour agent.
