On this planet, no region rivals India in its extraordinary variety of flora and fauna. India stands unmatched in its cultural richness, diverse climate, vibrant vegetation, and abundant wildlife. With a civilization that spans over 5,000 years, a plethora of ethnic groups, and a unique five-season calendar that celebrates a festival every day, India's natural wonders are as diverse as its people. The country boasts an incredible range of landscapes, from the pristine beaches along its 7,516.5 km coastline to its vast network of protected areas, including 106 National Parks, 573 Wildlife Sanctuaries, 115 Conservation Reserves, 220 Community Reserves, 55 Tiger Reserves, 33 Elephant Reserves, 7 Natural World Heritage Sites, 75 Ramsar Sites, 11 Biosphere Reserves within the World Network, 18 Biosphere Reserves, and the world's first Sea Cucumber Reserve. It is also home to India's first sanctuary dedicated to the elusive Slender Loris. Truly, India is a wonderland of biodiversity.

At Indian Nature Tours, we understand the depth and breadth of India's natural diversity like few others. India is a "Cat Country," with its lions, tigers, three types of leopards, and thirteen other cat species making it a haven for big cat enthusiasts. The country also hosts the world's largest population of deer species and, unlike Africa, is home to several antelope species, including the indigenous and rare Sloth Bear, Blackbuck (Indian Antelope), Chausingha (Four-Horned Antelope), and Nilgai (Blue Bull).

For bird lovers, India is nothing short of paradise, with over 1,377 species of birds gracing its skies. Beyond its bird and animal life, India also teems with over 63,760 species of insects, around 1379 species of butterflies, approximately 470 species of frogs, and over 1074 species of fish.
