 Wildlife Tourism in India has received a tremendous boost in recent times, thanks to the effective promotional campaigns of the Ministry of Forests. Tourists from all over the world visit India every year and an increasing number of them are heading towards the many National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries in India. The trend can be observed in the remarkable rise in the number of Wildlife Holiday Packages in India. These packages are offered by the Government’s tourism department as well as many private tour operators. Many of these have online booking facilities. You should carefully check the credentials of the private tour operators. They should ideally be certified by the Tourism Department of the Government of India.
The Wildlife Holiday packages in India cover almost all the major as well as lesser known wildlife destinations of India. The packages cover a wide range of budgets as well. Accommodation and other facilities vary a little according to the budget of the packages. The packages follow a similar itinerary all over the country. Broadly, they can be classified into – arrival, accommodation, sightseeing, transport, dining, safari, recreation and departure.
You will be picked up from Airports or nearby railway stations and welcomed in a grand traditional way. You will then be driven to the hotel or other accommodation fixed for the tour. You will be greeted warmly at the hotel reception and after some refreshments and rest, you will be escorted for a sightseeing tour of the city.
The next stage is the journey to the National Park or wildlife sanctuary, usually in jeeps or luxury buses. The tour guides start their work from this stage and you are shown interesting places en-route.
After arrival at the forest accommodation, you are treated to hearty meals and generally this day is reserved for resting and local treks.
You start your safari early next morning, with jeeps or open trucks taking you into the forests, guided by armed guards and expert guides. This is the climax of the packages and you will now observe the Indian wildlife in all its glory. Picnic lunches are served right in the middle of the wilderness. The safaris included in these packages include a wide range of transport, including motor transport, elephants, horses, or even camels, depending on the location of the tour.
After coming back to the forest accommodation, dinner is served and in many cases, local tribal dances or other cultural activities are presented for your recreation.
The food served by the tour operators is chiefly delicious local cuisine, cooked and served in the traditional way. However, many tours also offer other international dishes for the comfort of tourists from other countries.
The packages include other interesting activities like rock climbing in hilly areas, trekking, tiger tracking, bird watching, and visits to local villages, boating, rafting and kayaking in the areas that permit these. Many forests have tribal museums and animal parks within their premises and visits to these places also form an integral part of these wildlife holiday packages.
As a befitting conclusion to your enchanting experience, you are given a warm see off. Depending upon the itinerary, you are either driven to the nearest railway station or airport, or to some other destination covered in the package.
