India offers immense opportunities for wildlife tourism with more than 70 national parks and over 400 wildlife sanctuaries spread across the country. A paradise for nature lovers, these areas are also crucial for the protection of endangered species like the Asiatic Lion, Asian Elephant, the one horned rhino and of course the magnificent Bengal Tiger. Let us not forget that India also has a rich and varied birdlife, many endemic to India and in the winter months a vast number of migratory birds make India their home.
