On this planet, if any region exists in terms of unmatched variety of Flora and Fauna- It is India’. No region can compete with India in terms of its culture, climate, vegetation and wildlife. With a civilization more than 5,000 years old, with every ethnic group known to mankind, with five seasons every year, with a festival every day, with incredible variety of terrain including beaches on its 7516.5 km coastline, with its 106 National Parks, 573 Wildlife Sanctuaries, 115 Conservation Reserves, 220 Community Reserves, 56 Tiger Reserves, 33 Elephant Reserves, 7 Natural World Heritage Sites, 85 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.
Few know about its diversity of its habitat and its wildlife as we do at Indian Nature Tours. The Lions, the tigers, three type of Leopards along with thirteen other species of cats make India a truly remarkable Cat Country. It also has the largest dear population (species) in the world and unlike Africa, India also has antelopes. Some of the species found in India are “Indigenous and are found nowhere in the world” i.e. Sloth Bear, Blackbuck (Indian Antelope), Chausingha (Four horned antelope), and Nilgai (Blue Bull).
With over 1377 species of birds, India is also a paradise for bird lovers. In addition to its birds & animals, India also boasts of over 63,760 species of insects, around 1379 species of butterfly, around 470 species of frogs and over 1074 species of fish.

After bird watching, Butterfly watching is the most popular hobby throughout the world. India with its uniqueness in flora and fauna has a distinct place in Butterfly watching. Western Ghats and North East India in between hold record number of Butterfly species and our main area of Butterfly watching centre around these two spots.
Wildlife in India has been more known for because of popular national parks of North and Central India like- Kanha, Bandhavgarh, Pench, Ranthambore and Corbett. In between these parks one can see the Big Five of The Indian Wildlife from North and Central India, namely, The Asiatic Elephant, The Gaur, The Leopard, The Royal Bengal Tiger, The Sloth Bear. Over 47,000 species of plants and 89,000 species of animals have been recorded in India. Out of 47,000 species of plants, 5150 are endemic to India. View Popular National Parks.
India added 557 new species to its count, which includes 407 new species & 150 new records. This brings its faunal species to 1,02,718 named species of animals. India has over 350 species of mammals and over 1225 forms of birds, some of them are endemic to India only. Some of the unique species found in India are Golden Langur, Namdapha flying squirrel, Lion tailed macaque, Nilgiri Langur, Nilgiri Tahr, Flying Squirrel, Malabar Grey Hornbill, Asiatic Lion, Nilgai, the Spiral Horned Black Buck, the four horned Chausingha.
India, one of the 12 megadiversity countries, is very rich in biodiversity. Over 1200 species of birds comprising at least 13 % of the world’s birds are found in India. Biogeographically, India is situated at the tri-junction of three realms namely Afro-tropical, Indo-Malayan and Paleo-Arctic realms, and therefore, has characteristic elements from each of them. This assemblage of three distinct realms probably is a fact which is believed to partly account for its rich & unique birdlife. Also read & view the latest birding Trip Report.
Dear Manoj,
We wanted to give you a feedback on our trip to India. Finally we found the time to write it.
It’s been an amazing experience, everything has been organized excellent. All the drivers were very friendly, always in time andmade us feel save on busy streets.
We loved the different national parks and had various sightings: 6 tigers, 2 leopards, 4 sloth bears, 4 fourhorned antilopes, 2 giant squirells, many gharials, 1 giant flying squirrel and so much more.
The hotels were well chosen, we liked all of them. We do understand why you recommended Svasara at Tadoba, it really is a very beautiful place, rooms were very nice, and food was delicious.
If everything works out, we will get in touch with you again very soon to plan these four weeks in India.
Thank you very much for organizing this very special trip. We had an amazing time.
Best regards,
Dear Mr. Sharma,
we would like to thank you for the excellent organisation of our trip to india. Everything worked very well and there were no problems during this journey at all.
Thank you for that again.
We also would like to express our contentment with our driver Mr. Harrish, based in Nagpur . He was our driver between Orchha and Nagpur for at least nine days. In this time we got him to know as a really nice and caretaking person. He is a very secure driver and we always felt very comfortable with him. He was always in time and really concerned about our welfare.
Due to his competences we highly recommend him, especially for long-time drives.
Yours sincerely,
All enjoyable, a tourist needs a positive attitude in India, it is a big experience that some would find daunting but our transfers etc were so smooth they made it easy.
Accommodations … Great variety of places all special in their own way.
Very good cars for the transfers.
Escorts great.. tour guides great, some of the park guides were a little too focused on tiger.
Overall…one of the best holidays I have had.
Dear Manoj,
Thank you for your X-Mas wishes.
The trip to India was such a fantastic experience and we are delighted that we saw not only the tiger, but so manyother animals and fantastic sceneries.
We especially want to thank you for your splendid organization and control of all the details that made the trip so easy-going. We are absolutely delighted and spend our days in Paris watching, and showing family and friends, the thousands of pictures we brought back.
We send you some pictures. Perhaps you can give us the name of the animal on which you made us visit the market 😉
The 2 others are from a snow-free Paris in X-mas time.
We wish you a Happy New Year to you, Kartk and your family.
Manoj
Thanks very much for sorting out our Sunderbans trip. All the arrangements
worked fine and we really enjoyed ourselves. We appreciated the chance to
see the local village and go fishing as well as the wildlife watching. Both
Tanmoy Ghosh and the local guides were very helpful and we appreciated their
ability to spot and to identify so many birds.
Thanks
