India .. One
of the few places left on earth where scenery, people, climate and wildlife
combine to create a land of beauty.
A land where one can experience natural wildlife in natural surroundings.
Known as the land of the tiger and the elephants, the peacock and the
rhinoceros, India’s wildlife is a delight for nature lovers. The country’s
climate and geographic diversity makes it the home of over 350 mammals and
1200 bird species, many of which are unique to the subcontinent. The total
protected wilderness is approximately 140,000 sq.km, and constitutes 4% of
India’s total land area.
