Getaways Wildlife Holidays In India Outlook Traveller

There can be no better way to earn your stripes than by tripping in the wild, an approach Outlook Traveller Getaways recommends in their latest guidebook 64 Wildlife Holidays in India. From the lofty folds of the Himalaya to the deep underwater universe off the Andamans, from rhino-spotting in Kaziranga to birdwatching in Keoladeo Ghana, this book gives you 64 different ways and more to enjoy your holidays in the wild. Apart from the road well travelled to destinations such as Corbett and Ranthambhore, this guide helps you traverse paths to relatively lesser-known holiday options such as Dudhwa in Uttar Pradesh, Eravikulam in Kerala or Harike in Punjab. Route guides, park maps, photography tips, jungle stay options and listings of Forest Department contacts and wildlife agents promise to make your journey exciting and effortless in equal measure. Each of the destinations covered in the book begins with a section that conveys the experience of being in the wild, be it the thrill of spotting a red panda in Sikkim's Khangchendzonga National Park or of locking eyes with cats in Bannerghatta in Karnataka. This is followed by sections that will help tourists plan their itinerary, with details of timings and charges of elephant and jeep safaris as well as stay and eating options. The book's introductory and concluding sections offer valuable commentary penned by experts on various aspects concerning India's wildlife, ranging from forest 'etiquette' tips for tourists to Project Tiger and the intricacies of the animal census. This book is the best bet to planning your wildlife holiday, and all the more so because it reminds you at every step to leave behind nothing but your footprints.
