Ranthambore, A natural Consolation:
It is exciting to be in India and it is far more exciting to be in the confines of an Indian National park. Away from the confines of concrete jungles that covers most part of the big cities, greenery and fresh air provided by Indian wildlife Parks as far cry from the usual. Wildlife heritage of India is as much or more diverse than the cultural heritage this country posses. One of the major mega diversity countries in the world, India houses a good number of wildlife species found nowhere else on this globe. India is a natural place for the wildlife enthusiasts of the world to be. The reasons are simple but exciting. India currently has 80 National Parks.
Due to a consistent decrease in the standard of wildlife, Govt. Of India initiated the formation of National Parks. Covering all of India are 10 National Parks capturing the vast landscape comprising of vegetation, tree and grasslands interspersed with wild forest. You can view some of the highly endangered animals like Tiger and Leopard along with the common ones like the Fishing cat, Jungle cat and the Leopard cat. One can also see the crocodiles and many migratory birds using these parks such as Ranthambhore National Park, Bandhavgarh National Park, Bandipur National Park etc as nesting ground.
