Central India Tours

India has 54 National Parks and 370 Wildlife Sanctuaries, many of which were former Maharajahs' hunting grounds in the central portion of this enormous country. Among the best parks are Kanha, Bandhavgarh, Pench, Nagarhole, and Gir (where the last of the Asian lions still exist). India also has over 1200 species of bird, and is on main migratory routes, so it is a satisfyingly good country for bird-watchers, but everybody knows the main event is the increasingly endangered tiger.
