 "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.
