For nature lover India is paradise in terms of wildlife. It provides great Himalayan on one side and forests with wild animals in Ranthambore, Corbett, Sunderban, Kanha and Gir forest reserves. One can see lions, tigers and different varieties of animals and species. For ornithologist (Bird Watcher) we have wonderful game reserves in different parts of India. Like Anchar in Kashmir, Bhratpur in Rajasthan and many destinations in south India.
The varied natural habitat supports a staggering array of wildlife. There are some 1200 species of birds in 75 families. These include colourful and conspicuous varieties of pheasant, quail and jungle fowl, mainly inhabiting the Himalayas, storks and cranes, hornbills, flamingo's kingfishers. Clrhile sorne are indigenous, others are migratory birds that come annually to the northern plains from across the Himalayas, to escape the biting cold of giberia and Central Asia. Most spectacular is the peacock, the national bird, which is found through most of the country.
