How to prepare for a safari
In addition to the well-known and majestic cats, India is home to thousands of rare animal species and bird sanctuaries (Tigers and Leopards). As a result of their global migration patterns, which are fascinating in and of themselves, birds have undergone constant development and diversification. The Sarus crane, Racquet-tailed Drongo, Tree Pies, Jungle Owlets, Minivets, Ioras, Sunbirds, and Stork-billed Kingfisher are well-known bird species that may be seen in India’s national parks. People of different ages, geographic locations, and cultural backgrounds find it a tourist attraction thanks to its abundance of bird species and subspecies.
In addition, many different kinds of deer, groups of elephants, colorful reptiles, a profusion of bird species, medicinal herbs, and trees that are several hundred years old make up the jungle’s primary habitat. Additionally, if luck is on your side, you can explore the nearby museums and well-preserved forts, which are additional attractions in these parks and wildlife sanctuaries.
Creating a jungle safari will be advantageous for the mountainous region of Aravalli. During the same period, a sizable stream of tourists from Delhi and the nearby areas would arrive, providing locals with several job opportunities. According to the statement, the homestay policy will also benefit the citizens of the adjacent communities. Numerous birds, wild animals, and insects can be found in the Aravalli Mountain range. The Aravalli range is home to more than 180 species of birds, 15 species of mammals, 29 species of aquatic and reptilian animals, and 57 species of butterflies, according to a release from the Haryana government.
