Protected Areas in India
India travel proves to be an amazingly exciting experience that takes you to splendorous locations that charm and surprise with their wealth of natural as well as heritage glory.
Though there are certain areas in India that are out of bound to tourist and if at all tourists are allowed into these regions they need to get permits issued at the respective offices.
Forest areas and wildlife sanctuaries in India are designated as protected areas. The idea is to preserve the natural habitat of wild animals in a world of quick urbanization and contemporary development. So for wildlife tours to Ranthambore, Sariska, Bandhavgarh or Kanha you must get the requisite safari permits.
A number of tribal areas in Central India and Eastern Himalayan regions have been demarcated as protected areas by the India Government. The idea is to prevent aboriginal customs, indigenous ways and ethnic lifestyles from getting disturbed.
Areas such as Lakshadweep and several islands in Andaman and Nicobar are designated protected areas as the Government is making efforts to conserve tribal lifestyles and ethnic ways.
