The Sundarbans in West Bengal are an absolute must for any wildlife or safari enthusiast. Royal Bengali Tigers are right at home in their swampy habitats; adding to the experience is travelling on canoes instead of jeeps and looking up at exotic flora like the mangrove forests that fall under the protected land category again!

Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary in Kerala is the best place to check out the wild elephant species that India has to offer!
