Wildlife tours are being promoted in a big way by tour operators and hotels and resorts. This is because they have been well received, and people have come back asking for more. Virtually every state in India has a wildlife sanctuary. These are domicile to species which are native to these regions.

You are sure to have some sighting that will leave you spell-bound. There are plenty of hotels and resorts which are conveniently located on the opposite banks of the park, and you might even have a chance to catch sight of some animals as they come to the watering holes for a drink.
The one reserve which is the oldest in India is the Jim Corbett National Park, located comfortably in the foothills of the lofty Himalayan Mountains. If you want to catch a glimpse of the elusive Bengal tigers, this is where you should head.
