Exciting Tiger Safaris in India

 India is the land of the tiger. It has more than 50 percent of the big cats living in the country. The tiger is protected species, and it finds sanctuary in more than 50 tiger reserves. The reserves are known as protected areas, and they are also known as tiger conservation units. They have been created under the Project Tiger Program. The Project Tiger Program is governed by NTCA or National Tiger Conservation Authority in the country.

Among the 50+ tiger reserves, some are more popular than others. The primary reason is the easy sighting of tigers in those parks. These parks are home to many other animals besides the tiger, and they provide an added attraction to tourists. Besides the wildlife, these reserves are a panoramic delight with magnificent terrain.

Besides conservation initiatives, the reserves also organize tours in the core area and the buffer zones. They organize rides in the park in open jeeps and canters. But to enjoy the safaris you need to book a permit. These permits are issued by the State Governments for a charge. You have to pay separately for the jeep hire and canter, and the forest guide that will accompany you.

Tiger Tourism

In the core area, the tiger safari is organized. There are two safaris organized in one day. One is organized in the morning another in the evening. To add to the excitement some reserves organize full-day safaris where you can explore the forests with more time allotted. You get entry half early than the regular rides and half an hour late exit. Permits are bound by tourism zones but on a full-day safari, you can trespass.
