"For
wildlife enthusiasts India has unlimited options to offer. Corbett,
to the north of Delhi, is one of India's best national parks with
healthy populations of the tiger and elephant. The semi-arid forests
of Sariska harbour many species of mammals, notably nilgai, sambar
and wild boar, and the marshes of Bharatpur are home to over 300
species of birds and is recognized as one of the best bird sanctuaries
in Asia. Bandhavgarh is one of the few areas left in India where
you have a good chance to see the rare and endangered tiger in broad
daylight. Wildlife areas alternate with the forts and palaces of
Jaipur, the Taj Mahal of Agra and the exquisite erotic temples of
Khajuraho. Season - November through April."
