No need to give any introduction to this sole
surviving natural habitat of the Asiatic Lions. Popularly
known as Sasangir, this national park is blessed with some
of the most diverse wild attractions and natural surroundings

Probably the most visited park in India, Sariska was also
a hunting reserve previously just like other national parks
in India. The reserve was declared a wildlife sanctuary in
1958 and came under the "Project Tiger" as a tiger
reserve in 1979.
The sanctuary is situated on southwestern range of Satpura
range in Shirpur Tehsil of Dhule District. The sanctuary was
once very rich in wildlife, now it is trying to regain its
previous status. Some of the common animals found in this
area are Barking Deer's, Chinkaras, Hares, Porcupines and
Jungle Cats.
The Navegaon National Park located in Navegoan, Gondia is
one of the most popular forest. Among its main attractions
are a Deer Park, an aviary and three beautifully landscaped
gardens. The Pench National Park on the border of Madhya Pradesh
and Maharashtra has been known through the ages for its rich
flora and fauna. As the 25th Tiger Reserve of the country,
Pench takes pride in its tigers and other wildlife.
Gujarat is an exciting place for wildlife enthusiasts, mainly
because it resides some of the unique wild attractions within
its numerous sanctuaries. Wild Ass sanctuary is another of
Gujarat's wild surprises famous for its large wild Ass herds.
The site is considered a good wetland habitat aptly named
as "Bharatpur of Maharashtra" harbouring thousands
of beautiful local and migratory birds. There are more than
230 species of birds, out of which 80 are migratory species.
