India. An eastern exotica, which mesmerizes with her landscapes spelling magic and yet more magic. Her flora and fauna are a discovery in themselves with each new species rearing its head every now and then. The landscapes are a visual delight for the adventure seekers as well as the nature lovers and are widely sought by them as the perfect tourist destinations. The prime reason behind this is a potent combination of tradition and luxury which the accommodations in India provide. Wild life tour India package includes tours specially organized by the reputed travel agents like the Indian tiger tour, Indian Rhino, Indian birds, Indian elephants etc. One is sure to be enthralled by the 80 different wildlife parks dotting the Indian landscape teeming with flora of unimaginable varieties.
India is home to about 1200 species of birds of both migratory and ethnic varieties which constitutes roughly 14% of the world’s bird population. Indian tiger being the most charismatic animal of India is one of the five races of sub-species distributed throughout Asia. Wildlife tour India package is made available by the travel agents across the country for a magnificent viewing of the animal. Mostly, these tours are organized on the back of an elephant and it provides the sheer delight to the visiting tourists. Hospitality is assured at the accommodations meant for travelers of all hues with wildlife tour India package. Through the services at innumerable jungle resorts and lodges the tourists are able to savor the flavors of unique Indian experiences.
India as an exotic location for most of the travelers is a storehouse of attractive fauna. Wildlife tour India package is apt for those wildlife lovers, who are on a chase to discover for themselves something, which is mysterious. For visitors like these, jeep safari is perfect means to watch the rough terrain of the Indian jungles along with its lush green landscape. This type of jeep safari is organized by the travel agents especially in the Corbett National Park for tiger viewing. It is sheer pleasure to hear tiger roaring in the background while other animals are at run and the whole fun and excitement seems to begin just here. The proud Asiatic lion is now confined to the tiny pockets of Gir sanctuary numbering around 150. This is a commendable number considering that a mere 20 lions had survived in the early part of 19th century.
Wildlife tour India package provides the tourists with exciting camps where they are witness to unique scenes. The sights and smells of India come alive with the usual bonhomie between the locals and the visitors. Yet there is a sorry chapter to whole episode as well. Today, humans have encroached spaces meant for wild animals and this has added to the ugliness of the pristine jungles of India. It is really disturbing to see the train tracks running parallel to the elephant’s dwelling places in Kanha National Park. The result has been innumerable tragic accidents of this graceful animal with many calves being rendered orphans. For preserving the wildlife in India, wildlife lovers should come forward to share the concerns of a large section of population. Also, the tribal out there should be given full charge of the forests because they know exactly how a jungle functions. Anybody listening?

Suchita asked:
The wildlife in India does wonder to amplify the popularity of India among international tourists. From stately and majestic tigers and beautiful peacocks to giant elephants and hundreds of reptiles, all of these find a secure asylum in the wildlife sanctuaries in India. Almost all the major states in India flaunt wildlife sanctuaries of their own. Planned and guided visits to these places or the safaris as they are popularly referred to, help one embark on an exploratory expedition. Some wildlife species in India are on the verge of extinction. There are some reserves and sanctuaries that have taken up a proactive role as far as the salvaging the endangered status of the animals are concerned. There is no dearth of Indian wildlife sanctuaries. The presence of the 80 National Parks, 441 sanctuaries and 23 tiger reserves India is the pointer to the richness in wildlife that the country can feel proud about.
It might help you to know that India is counted among the twelve mega diversity areas in the world as far as animals are concerned. Among the most commonly spotted wild animals in the Indian jungles, mention must be made of apes, monkeys, lemurs, cats, crocodiles, tortoises, lizards, elephants, buffaloes, wild asses, rhinoceroses, snakes, bears, hyenas, sheep, civets, mongoose, the dog tribe, deer, goats and antelopes. Birds also constitute a long list when it comes to India wildlife. Among the popular and common species of birds are included Great Indian Bustard, Chikor, Common Coot, Common crane, Demoiselle Crane, Sarus Crane, Cuckoo, the Koel, Andaman Cackoo Dove, Indian Ring Dove, Comb Duck, Cotten Teal, Andaman Teal, Whistling Teal, White Eyed Poached, Common Green winged Teal, Gargancy Teal, Pintail, Bengal Florican, Grey Heron, Red Jungle Fowl, Common Kingfisher, Hill Myna, Indian Parakeet, Black Partridge and Grey Partridge among hundred others.
If you wish to explore the fascinating diversity of Indian flora and fauna, then the India wildlife sanctuaries are ideally suited for you. Not only will you be awed by the sighting of the beasts of the wilds in their natural habitat, but will also be held spellbound by the diversity in the topography. Kerala, in particular is dotted with a good number of sanctuaries. So if you ever plan a trip to Kerala, don’t miss out on paying visits to the Idukki Wildlife Sanctuaury, Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, Wayanad Bird Sanctuary or the Neyyar Wildlife Sanctuary. At the Idukki Wildlife Sanctuary, you will be impressed with the stupefying array of wild animals that includes Wild Dogs, Jungle Cats, Tiger, Wild Boar, Elephants, Bison, Sambhar, Deer and reptiles such as Cobra, Viper and Krait. When it comes to the birds, you will be able to catch sight of the Bulbul, Kingfisher, Jungle Fowl, Myna and Woodpecker. Among the other immensely popular sanctuaries, mention must be made of the Sasangir Wildlife Sanctuary in Gujarat, The Nagarjunasagar Wildlife Sanctuary in Andhra Pradesh, Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary in Haryana and the Chilka Lake Bird Sanctuary in Orissa.

Spend a Day Fishing Yellowstone National Park
Filed Under Camping | Comments Off
Cathy Taylor asked:
Spending a relaxing day in a park is a great way to connect with family or to simply be by yourself. Considered to be one of the most beautiful parks in the United States, Yellow Stone National Park tops the charts. Despite the fact that it is considered a super volcano crater, it is still a wonderful location for fishing, camping, or other nature-seeking activities.
When it comes to fishing Yellowstone, there are numerous fishing techniques and species of fish to catch. On the other hand, if you are fishing Yellowstone, you also have to remember that there are specific regulations and fees associated.
Popular Fish
As you probably already know, it is tempting to walk up to a body of water in the Yellowstone National Park and cast your fishing line. However, you have to remember that the lakes in the park are not stocked yearly. This means that the rangers are very strict about people following the specific rules and helping to maintain the fish stock. The most popular fish when fishing Yellowstone is trout.
This is the target fish for both fly fishers and traditional fishing. Some experienced visitors say that you can find a trout that is over 15 inches, which is a great catch for the day.
The Yellowstone cutthroat is another popular fish that many wish to find. It is a very beautiful fish with amber and orange stripes at the gill plates. You can catch one that is up to 16″ or 18″ in total. The only problem is that they are helpless when it comes to trout, which prey upon the cutthroats. For this reason, if you do catch a trout, you are required to keep it or to puncture its air bladder and let it sink to the bottom of the lake.
As mentioned above, the park has specific rules when it comes to fishing Yellowstone. Regardless of the updated regulations, you will still need a fishing permit. Fortunately, they are affordable, with a 7 day license costing around $5 and a season permit running around $10. In addition, the park has a strict policy about toxic fishing gear.
All gear has to be lead-free, and this also includes any lead weighted ribbon for nymph fishing. Motor boats are also not allowed in the Yellowstone river or any fishing Yellowstone inlet waters. You can, however, use a boat on the Yellowstone Lake.
Other restrictions include:
1. Each fisherman can only use one rod or line at a time, and it has to be attended at all times.
2. You can only use artificial lures or flies. Absolutely no natural or organic bait, such as worms, insects, salmon eggs or other food. Scents to attract the fish are also not allowed.
3. Lures can only have one hook, and no fish snagging is allowed.
4. Fishing flies can only have one hook as well, and up to two flies can be used on any line.
5. The maximum number of fish that a visitor can keep is 5 per day. Three of those have to be brook trout. The only exception is lake trout.
6. Fish that do not meet the size restrictions have to be returned to the waters carefully. In addition, all unintentionally killed fish have to be returned to the water so that they can be consumed by the other wildlife.
7. Fishing is banned from road bridges and boat docks.
The official fishing Yellowstone season begins on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, and it lasts until the first Sunday in November. The Park is open everyday during the season from 5:00AM until 10:00PM. There are specific exceptions that are listed in the rulebook.
You should also be aware that there are certain areas in the park that are closed to all visitors all year round. In addition, you will find areas with daylight restrictions and a limited number of party size or guests. The rangers have the right to close streams temporarily on short notice during the fishing season due to low water levels.
The following are the fees associated with fishing Yellowstone waters:
$15.00 for three days(visitors 16 years of age and up)
$20.00 for seven days
$35.00 for an annual permit
Youth who are 11 years of age and under do not need a permit or entry pass if they are supervised. All youth ages 12 to 15 do need a fishing permit but they can fish for free.
When you are fishing Yellowstone, it is fairly difficult to have a bad experience. Even if you are unable to catch any fish, the scenery alone will be enough to please you.
The only way that you would walk away with a bad experience is if you do not follow the regulations and you get in trouble with the park rangers. The fines associated with breaking these regulations are large, so make sure that you familiarize yourself with all of the details before your visit.
