2011-10-20T02:26:00.000-07:00

About Tourism Industry

There is no doubt in the fact that the tourism industry is at the peak nowadays. The people visit the other countries not just to spend the vacations, but also to set up their business and keep in contact with the foreign clients. The same equation holds good when we talk about the India Tours. The demand for the India Tours is also on the rise, because there are many cities which have been developed and some are on the verge of development. So, people from the neighboring as well as the remote countries keep on visiting the country to witness the fast paced development.

Role of India Tours in World's Tourism Industry

It has been revealed by the survey that the India Tours play a lead role in generating the large revenues for the number of tourist industry all across the globe. The fiscal policies which were adopted by the Government in the earlier days is no more relevant for this era. Today, there is nothing wrong if someone says that the tourist agencies of India are enjoying the benefits for the efforts which were made by the architectures of the ancient era. Taj Mahal is the living example to support this statement. The role of Taj Mahal in the context of India Tour is not hidden from anyone.

Statics of World Tourism Organization

According to the WTO, acronym for the World Tourism Organization, that approximately 698 million tourists have gone for India Tour since the last decade or so, which is the greatest achievement in itself. This is enough to show the impact of India Tours on the world’s tourism industries. No one can deny the fact, that the development of several MNCs in India has also played an integral in order to support the tourism in the country. All these factors have some role to increase the economic growth of the country.

Well, if the tourism industry keep on progressing in such a way by making proper strategies and execute them to the fullest, then the day will not be far when tourism industry of India will be the world’s richest tourism industry. Due to the improved tourism support, it was imperative that the efforts would be made to improve the conditions of transportation and the accommodation facilities in it. I visited India last month after around 5 years and I was so pleased to see the progress that has made in the sector transportation and resorts and hotels.

Not only these, I also experienced the drastic change in the night life of people there. Now there are many people who like to visit the night clubs and pubs in order to make them free from the day’s tension. The only disadvantage of the increase in the number of India Tour which I can see is the dependency on this industry. I am afraid that the other sectors responsible for the economic growth may not led down because of the success made in this sector.

Your footsteps in tiger land

2010-07-31T00:20:00.000-07:00

If making a visit to India is on your mind, you surely should not miss out on tiger spotting. India is home to a plethora of flora and fauna in its wildlife sanctuaries, bird sanctuaries, national parks, tiger reserves and forest reserves. Amongst all animals, probably the gorgeous tigers draw the maximum attention of the tourists who gain a memorable experience of catching a glimpse of the magnificent creatures. Tiger, being the national animal of India, is reckoned as an asset of the country.

If you are thinking of visiting the tiger reserves, plan your trip between the months of December and May when the weather is cooler. During monsoons, many of the parks and reserves close down. The Bandhavgarh and Kanha national parks in India have been claimed by tourists as the best sites for tiger spotting. Elephant and jeep safaris are the best to track tigers in the Indian reserves while enjoying the beauty of nature and other species of flora. You could have chances of watching tigers engage into thrilling activities with other animals. The site of Bandhavgarh was the place of discovery of the white tigers of Rewa.

The Indian wealthy wildlife is one of the most desired destinations of tourists from all over the world. One of the most popular attractions of the Indian wildlife is the Royal Bengal Tigers. Bengal tigers, with their magnificent aura, are considered as the most glorious members of the cat family. Ranthambhore is one of the largest national parks in India with a rich population of Bengal tigers. Sunderbans of West Bengal is the leading Indian national park. It is house to about four hundred tigers and the tigers found here are excellent swimmers. The Kanha national park, which had served as plot for Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book, is dense, grassy and serves as a perfect habitat for the royal Bengal tigers. Jim Corbett national park is one of the finest sites for tiger spotting between the months of April and mid June. The park organizes elephant and jeep safari depending on your preference. Jeep safari hoists your chances of spotting tigers by covering wider areas in less time. Go along with a guide versed with the howls and cries of tigers, making it easier for you to spot one.

Tigers are a protected species. Tiger poaching has reduced the number of adult tigers in India. An estimate by India’s National conservation authority reveals that only 1411 adult tigers are in existence. Efforts have been made to protect the majestic creatures. Several government restrictions and projects like Project Tiger and Save the tiger have created awareness among common people to preserve and protect the wild animal. Most of the tiger reserves are under the Project tiger to create a safe and suitable atmosphere for the growth and survival of India’s national animal.

Successful preservation efforts have made India the home of more than half of the world’s tiger population- the Bengal tigers. India is a paradise for nature lovers. India offers immense prospects and unmatched experiences of wildlife tourism. A wildlife tour in the tiger reserves can be really fascinating and adventurous. Resorts with rooms and tented accommodations on the outskirts of the parks are also an ideal romantic getaway for some.

Top 5 Most Visited Tourist Destinations to See During India Vacation

2010-07-13T05:03:00.000-07:00

India is the cradle of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sikhism. It has the second largest Muslim population in the world. It has been chosen home for Christians, Jews, and Parsis for centuries now. Each of its 28 states has more historical monuments to boast of than several countries around the world with distinctive architectural, cultural, and regional flavor. Vacation in India offers numerous choices of tourist destinations and extraordinarily varied holiday experiences to satisfy the most discerning traveler. In this article, we will discuss top five most visited tourist destinations in India that attract thousands of foreign tourists every year:

· Taj Mahal: Opulent and glamorous, extensive and elegant - Taj Mahal is the biggest drawer of international tourists to the country. Bill Clinton once said, "There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who have seen the Taj Mahal and love it and those who have not seen the Taj and love it." The romantic mist that surrounds Taj on full moon nights is legendary. The national heritage of India, Taj Mahal is pride of India and is a highlight of almost all Honeymoon Tours and Family Vacation Packages in India.

· Khajuraho Temples: The splendid temple town of Khajuraho was lost in anonymity for centuries together and was re-discovered by chance. India's second biggest tourist attraction, Khajuraho was once the Capital of Chandella Kings and is the highlight of Madhya Pradesh Tourism and Central India Vacation Travel Packages today. The 1000-year old architectural splendor is now a source for wonder, aesthetic joy, and spiritual exaltation to tourists from all over the world.

· Varanasi: Holiest city of Hindus, include the eternal city of Varanasi in your itinerary during your vacation in India to see a bird-eye's view of true Indian spirit. Ghats of Varanasi stretch for miles along the holy river Ganges and present a festive scene of exotic cultural and religious fiesta of India every day. The numerous temples, prestigious Banaras Hindu University, Buddhist pilgrimage site Sarnath, and Ramnagar Fort are some of the highlights of Varanasi tourism but nothing equals the early morning boat ride along the Ghats in River Ganga and the enchanting Ganga Aarti in the evening. Benarasi sarees are famous and so are music and dance styles of the city.

· Goa: There was a time when meeting new people, fantasy, and cocktail parties defined ultimate vacations dreams. Today, serenity and isolation of deserted beaches free from crowds, villas hidden from sight, and relaxing and rejuvenating Ayurveda massages appeal more to inbound tourists to India. Goa with its golden sands and swaying palm and coconut trees has adapted to changing tourism preferences quite well and has turned from a destination for hippies to a quiet and well-behaved family vacation destination in India. Ultimate beach resorts and spa experiences lure tourists to Goa today.

· Tirumala Venkateswara Temple at Tirupati: The world’s richest and most visited religious center (of any faith), Lord Venkateswara’s temple is situated on Venkatadri, one of the seven hills of Tirumala in Chittor district of Andhra Pradesh. Popularly known as Balaji Temple or Srinivasa Temple, about 50,000 to 100,000 pilgrims visit it daily. The number of visitors to this pilgrimage destination shoots up during the annual festival which is quite a visual treat and photographers’ delight. The exact origins and antiquity of this legendary are still subject to scholarly debates.

India and Nepal Travel - A Memorable Experience

2010-07-12T02:09:00.000-07:00

India, people say, is not a country but a continent. The wide variety you see from North to South and East to West in topography, geology, climate, costumes and dresses, languages, cuisine, religions, socio-economic settings, flora, fauna, architecture, music, dance, arts and crafts, traditions and culture is simply overwhelming. To the northeast corner of this vast rich country is mysterious and mystical Nepal, the tiny mountain nation that was closed to outsiders till as late as 1950s. Our tour to India and Nepal was short but a fulfilling one.

We started our journey at Delhi, the Capital of India and its nucleus too. A quick tour to the famous Mughal mementos such as the Red Fort, the Humayun’s Tomb and the Jama Masjid and the British landmarks such as India Gate and the President’s House was followed by a trip to Qutub Minar, the first Islamic structure in India and one of the tallest stone towers of the world. We had decided to cover the famous Golden Triangle Tour Circuit first; visit the oasis of Rajasthan – Udaipur; stay for a night at Chitvan, the luxury jungle resort near Kanha National Park in Madhya Pradesh; and then go to Kathmandu, the Capital of Nepal.

Next day, we proceeded to Agra to see the famous Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Taj was exactly what we were anticipating it to be. It was built by Emperor Shah Jahan at the time when Mughal Empire was at its height. Laid out on a 42-acre rectangular grid along the banks of River Yamuna, Taj is indeed a poem in stone. Gardens, pools and fountains are its prelude and the main mausoleum is its verses. Sapphires, emeralds, rubies and other precious stones lend color to motifs that grace the walls of this massive marble tomb. Often cited as an Ultimate Gift of Love, Taj Mahal was designed on the basis of descriptions of Paradise found in Quran.

After seeing lavish palaces and heritage monuments of Mughals, it seemed impossible to us to be able to appreciate other forts and palaces we were about to see. But a trip to Rajasthan soon cured us of this prejudice. The lofty Hawa Mahal at Jaipur meant to be the Summer Palace for royal ladies, and the sprawling City Palace preserves the life of the royals well. You can almost visualize the procession of the King, sitting on an elephant, passing through the city and gleeful crowds of their subjects lining the streets.

Romance of the Rajput Royals found ultimate expression in the form of the Lake Palace of Udaipur, a white island palace situated in the middle of Lake Pichola. Each inch of this palace is steeped in history, mystery, and artistic excellence of the region. We were fortunate enough to attend a Royal Rajasthani Wedding there and witness the beauty of innate hospitality and exotic culture of the desert state. We clicked several photographs of rare and endangered species during our wildlife safari to Kanha National Park and spent a lovely cozy night at the luxury wildlife resort Chitvan. Beauty of its surroundings, architecture that blends well with the settings, lush luxury of its rooms, and warm services of the lodge won us over.

Kathmandu, the last leg of our Indo-Nepal tour, is not only the Capital of Nepal and gateway to Nepal tourism but also the nerve centre of its economy. We went straight to Pashupatinath Temple and paid our ablutions at the world’s largest and most sacred temple of Lord Shiva. It is also the oldest Hindu Temple that exists. We did not had much time so we just visited Narayanhiti Palace where Crown Prince Dipendra gunned down his family. We ended our memorable journey of India and Nepal on a somber note and boarded the plane back to home thinking about the mortality of human beings and immortality of their achievements.

Just 230 km from the place, there is Kanha National Park, which inspired the settings of well-loved ‘The Jungle Book’ by Rudyard Kipling. Better known as a tiger reserve, Kanha has been a saving grace for Barasinghas or swamp deer, which are close to being extinct.

It is impossible to talk about wildlife tourism in India and not to mention Ranthambore National Park. A former royal hunting ground of the Maharaja of Jaipur, this tiger reserve is one of the biggest and best known National Parks of India. The jungle lodge used by the Maharaja and royal guests is now a preferred place of stay for wildlife photographers and adventure lovers who come to Ranthambore just to catch a glimpse of the Royal Bengal Tiger. The Sawai Madhopur Lodge now belongs to Taj Group of Hotels and exudes a rustic, earthy charm. With history in the air and mystery of jungles augmenting its aura, Taj’s Sawai Madhopur was the place where Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip stayed during their visit to India.

Bird lovers may combine their visit to one of the most famous bird sanctuaries in the world – Keoladeo Ghana National Park at Bharatpur – with a stay at the luxury heritage hotel situated nearby. The Bagh is situated in a 200-year old garden sprawled over 12 acres, has spacious bathrooms and luxurious furnishings, and provides an ideal retreat to weary travelers who want to relax and rejuvenate after a long bird watching tour in the Bharatpur National Park. Wildlife resorts in India are ideal for one-night stays during your business trips as well as extended pleasure and leisure vacations.

Many of these embodiments of valor and confidence were killed in mishaps like poaching, electrocution, vehicle accidents etc and these have been marks of serious loss to Project Tiger; a special venture of Government of India to protect the tigers and other wild animals. They are christened lovingly as B1, B2, B3 etc by the forest officials and the most powerful one is accepted as the king of the forest.

The forest has its own tales, pretty different but engrossing ones as opposed to those of the concrete jungles and it is always worthwhile to embark on a Tiger Safari to know the nature closely.

About Royal Bengal Tiger Bandhavgarh

2009-07-03T04:27:00.000-07:00

Man and tigers are known to be brothers as the folk tale from Nagaland states than the first spirit of man, first spirit of Tiger and the mother of first spirit emerged from the earth from the pangolin’s den. Both the tiger and the man are same spirits with one in human shape and another in stripes. As the folk tale goes on, it states that one spirit went to live in woods and another stayed home. One day when they met, they were forced to fight when man tricked the tiger and killed him with lethal dart. The floating dead Tiger’s body was caught in reeds and was saved by God Dingu and Aneni. They realized that the bones had come from human body so that sat on them for nearly 10 years and thereafter at least 100 tigers were born.

This folk story basically tries to relate to the close association between the Tiger and the Man being born from the same mother. This is the reason that people talk of Tigress of a man and the humanness of a Tiger in the land where the Tiger has existed for more than a hundred years.

Appearance and Physical Characteristics

Tigers are known to be extremely powerful along with being elegant and slim. They have powerful front legs and paws that are capable of killing a rhino or a young elephant. The paws can also dray a 200 lbs prey. The elasticity and suppleness in their walk comes from their style of walking on their fore pads. These forelegs can also twist inwards that helps them to grasp the prey and can remain retracted until the tiger finally attacks the prey.

Sight and Smell

The amber glowing tigers are already much famed and unlike other cats, tigers possess round pupils. Their acute eyesight and sensitivity to color makes them even sharper. As their eyes face forward, they are capable of judging the depths as well along with having a sense of direction and distance. Like all other cats, tigers also have superb night vision due to the membrane at the back of their eye that reflects light from sensitive cells of retina. A principle adapted from the tigers is used in modern day “cats eyes” used on roads. This concept doubles the intensity of the light.

Territorial behavior largely depends upon the sense of smell. Tigers keep movements of each other by scent marking that enables them to steer clear of conflicts. Tigers use flehmen response that helps them to pass scent via two tiny holes in the upper palate. They hang out their tongues and draw back the lip. It causes their eyes to close, which gives an expression of disgust or grimace.

Habitat

Tigers mark their presence at various places like Russian Far east, mangrove swamps of Bangladesh and different types of forests. Tigers require minimum interference from human beings and lot of dense vegetation that has ample water for bathing and drinking. Tigers love water and can also go to sleep partly submerged in water. Moreover, they are excellent swimmers as well. Young tiger cubs are pretty agile that enable them to climb trees but adults are quite heavy and inept at climbing trees. However, an instance has been reported in Siberia where an angry tiger climbed a tree to swat a helicopter chasing him.

Predation

Tigers are quite capable of killing prey heavier than himself or herself and can eat up to 30 kgs of meat in one night. They need a large only one or two times a week. They tend to snack on peacocks, small birds, locusts, crab turtles or fishes in the meantime. Contrary to popular belief, tigers are not exclusively carnivorous as they feed on jungle fruits as well. The earth present in their stomach helps them to digest herbivorous diet.

Wild boar, hog deer, neelgai, barking deer, chital, sambar are some of the favorite preys of the tiger in India. Tigers also attack porcupines that have a tendency to poke their spikes on their attacker. Porcupine injuries can also cause the death of the tiger.

Tigers mostly hunt between the dawn and the dusk. They laze around during the daytime in the pool or in the shade near their latest kill. They leave their remaining prey with soil to return to finish them later. However, the scavengers often take their share even when they risk their own lives in doing so. An irritated is known to chase away cows and has also been snapped attacking a vulture snacking on its kill.

Tigers largely use their capability of sound and sight to locate their prey. They usually tend to stalk their prey as they are incapable of running to far due to their heavy weight. They wait till they are close enough to their prey to pounce upon it. A motionless tiger seems completely invisible in bright sunshine, which helps in camouflage while attacking a prey. It is surprising to note that in spite of tigers to be known as ferocious they are the worst predators and often fail to catch their prey. Most of the prey species have better sight and sound capabilities, are faster or have alarm capabilities in their system to sense danger. If the tiger fails in his attempt to catch its prey, it moves to another part of the jungle, which is quieter.

This technique of tigers is comparable with other open habitat techniques where predators have developed preying techniques by a process called as optimization. For example, in African Savannah, cheetahs have developed superb speed to stalk their predators and prides of lion have learn to hunt in groups. This cooperative hunting minimizes wastage of food to the scavengers who are on a look out for free lunch that is left out in open.

Predatory techniques of tiger largely depend upon the quantity of the prey and how easy it is to catch the same. Tigers hunt cooperatively in areas where there is dense vegetation or the prey is larger. They share their kill cooperatively thereafter. In 1980s, up to 9 tigers were seen lying together in a social group at Ranthambore National Park just similar to a pride of lions. Adults and the young ones had equally shared their kill. Rather than sharing according to hierarchy, the tiger that killed the prey got the largest share and the first meal even if other larger tigers were present in the group.
