Guys, no nation on earth has more varied or outstanding wildlife and nature than India. And few countries have made a more unhesitating effort to preserve their native species in the face of ostensibly impossible betting odds.

India has one of the world's richest natural heritage. 65000 species of fauna including 350 of mammals, 408 of reptiles, 197 of amphibians, 1244 of birds, 2546 of fish as well as 15000 of flowering plants. The country also has some 16 major forest types which can be further subdivided into 221 minor types.

For the nature supporter, there are perhaps more than 450 national parks and sanctuaries in India, along with the splendid diversity of its natural wonders.

In fact, plan a trip to experience the Indian wild and you may be inspired to spin a yarn of your own that will become a traditional knowledge.
