Adventure Wildlife Tours in Tiger India

Wouldn’t you love to go on an Adventure Wildlife Tour in Tiger India and come face to face with the King of the jungle? Most of us must have seen the well loved cartoon the Jungle Book written by the English Author Rudyard Kipling in which the main characters were Mowgli – the man cub and Sher Khan – the Royal Bengal Tiger. The inspiration of the book was taken from the jungles of Kanha Wildlife Sanctuary by the author during his stay here in India.

But seeing a cartoon character and a real tiger is a completely different experience in totality. Tigers are also found in zoos and efforts are also made to increase their production by breeding them in captivity. But don’t you think it is much better to see the tiger in its own carefree territory rather than a caged environment.

The forest and wildlife departments organize safe and secure wildlife safaris for tourists from India and other countries of the world. Some come for the awe of the jungle, while some come for an educational trip, while some come on photography expeditions, while some are just fond lovers of the beautiful and natural flora and fauna that is found in the Indian sub-continent.

 

Whatever may be the reason, a boost in tourism helps in taking care of the wildlife and also helps in the economic growth of the surrounding regions. So take time out of your busy itineraries and visit the beautiful wildlife sanctuaries of Kanha National Park, Bandhavgarh National Park, Ranthambore National Park and revel in god’s beauty in the natural environment.

 

Photo Exhibition on the Royal Bengal Tigers

A tiger is one of the most beautiful animals in our world. It is also the embodiment of power and grace in the environment in which we live in. Initially there were 10 species of tigers found on Planet Earth. But now only 7 species remain because selfish man has killed 3 species and made it extinct.

Of the remaining 7 species the Royal Bengal Tiger is found in India alone and the population of more than 50% tigers found in the wild is in the forests and wildlife sanctuaries of India.

Very recently a photography exhibition was held at Jawahar Kala Kendra in Jaipur by a Gujarat State based photographer Mona Patel depicting on-site photos of tigers in major wildlife parks such as Ranthambore National Par, Dudhwa National Park, Kanha National Park, Kaziranga Tiger Reserve, Periyar Tiger Reserve, Pench National Park, Bandhavgarh National Park, Jim Corbett National Park, amongst others.

The exhibition was inaugurated by the Union Minister of Environment, Forests & Climate Change Mr. Prakash Javadekar who spent a considerable time at the exhibition. This is another step by an aware individual and wildlife lover to promote awareness of our rich flora and fauna and the need to conserve it from extinction at all costs.

Wildlife is a part of our Planet and it has an equal right of existence here. Take time out of your busy schedules to visit these wonderful animals in their natural environment and take part in Tours & Travel packages of National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries in India where you can see tigers, lions, elephants, rhinoceros, bears leopards, crocodiles, alligators, so many types of deer, and nearly 1000 varieties of birds along with smaller animals such as foxes, raccoons, hyenas, wolves, to name a few.

‘Save the Tiger’ – Need of the Hour

 Most of us must have heard of the popular slogan ‘Save the Tiger’ in news coverage, print media and the internet. But have we ever given a thought as to why such a slogan had to be created in the first place. Why was the Tiger population in danger of extinction? Was the greed of humans so great that they were bent upon annihilation of a magnificent and beautiful animal as the tiger? 

It is a shame to know that in a mere span of 50 years nearly 80000 to 100000 these beautiful and carefree tigers were literally hunted, poached and slaughtered to quench the thirst of egotistical brutes.  

History bears testimony to the fact that this evil and wicked sport of senseless animal hunting started during the Mughal era in India and continued well into the British Raj. 

Today only a few hundred tigers roam the wildlife nationalparks and sanctuaries in India because steps have been taken to preserve this radiant and awesome creation of nature. Nowadays one can see advertisements and loads of propaganda to promote tourism in India for seeing the tiger in its natural environment. The once fearless king of the jungle now dwells in the above kinds of protected habitats.

Royal Bengal Tigers and their cubs give rise to Tourism in India

Ranthambore Wildlife National Park is the largest National Park located in the State of Rajasthan in northwest India. The national park covers a vast area of about 400 sq. km. and is easily reachable from Sawai Madhopur – the nearest railway station from the park. It is also one of the major wildlife tourist destinations in India.

 It is home to the Royal Bengal Tigers which breed and live here in a safe and secure environment. The best time of visiting Ranthambore National Park is between the months of November to April end when the park throws open its gates to welcome wildlife tourists and nature conservationists. The park is also home to spotted leopards, nilgai, chital, sambar, hyena, sloth bear and wild boars.

The Forest Department had relocated tigers from Ranthambore to Sariska Tiger Reserve in 2008 to boost their growth and increase tourism opportunities there. Recent news and pictures taken from camera traps in Sariska Tiger Reserve show 2 tigresses - ST-2 and ST-10 have given birth to 2 cubs each in the past few months. 

The current population of tigers has shot up with 4 of the recent cubs at the Sariska Tiger Reserve. It is indeed a joyful moment for all wildlife enthusiasts and lovers to see those lovely and cute cubs following their mother and playing antics with her.

 This relocation exercise by the forest department has instilled confidence of increasing the population of tigers in India. These majestic beasts are a wonder of nature and also aid in economic development of the surrounding area where they dwell in by giving rise to wildlife tourism.

People from all over the world come to enjoy wildlife and take Indian Wildlife Sanctuaries Travel Packages well in advance of the tourist season through online bookings.

The Lone Hunter – Royal Bengal Tiger

The Royal Bengal tiger is a formidable beast of prey. Its natural habitats the forests have been converted to Wildlife National Parks, Tiger Reserves and Wildlife Sanctuary to preserve and conserve this beautiful animal. But it is not the sole animal found in these parks and sanctuaries. Other wild animals such as Asiatic Lions, Sloth bears, leopards, elephants, crocodiles, alligators, nilgai, swamp deer, spotted dear, mongoose, langurs, monkeys, etc are found here in abundance.

Due to these efforts, the tiger population has started to become stable once again. Though it is still in the list of endangered species, but slowly the numbers of the tiger population have started increasing because of the adequate amount of prey available to the tiger.

A tiger is a lone hunter and a solitary kind of animal. Male tigers lead secluded lives and defend their large territories from other male tigers, whereas female tigers have smaller territories and are generally found in areas where prey and water is plenty as they have to take care of their cubs.

The royal Bengal tiger is the largest living cat in the whole world. There are about seven types of tigers currently found in the world of which the Indian tiger is the heaviest and more resilient in its environment.

There are many travel packages available for Indian Wildlife Sanctuaries for the wildlife lovers and researchers.
