All National Parks in India
India is truly a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers. From the snow-capped Himalayas in the north to the lush rainforests in the northeast, vast deserts in the west, and rich coastal ecosystems in the south, India’s National Parks protect a dazzling variety of habitats and wildlife species. These protected areas play a crucial role in conserving the country’s rich biodiversity, endangered species, and unique landscapes.
India’s very first National Park, Jim Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand, was established way back in 1936, setting the foundation for wildlife conservation in the country. Today, India proudly hosts over 100 National Parks, each offering a unique window into the wild — whether it’s the majestic Royal Bengal Tiger in Sundarbans, the one-horned rhino in Kaziranga, the Asiatic lions in Gir, or the snow leopards of Hemis.
These parks not only protect animals but also help preserve indigenous flora, sustain rivers and climate balance, and provide eco-tourism opportunities that benefit local communities. Visiting a National Park is like stepping into a living jungle book — you witness nature’s drama unfolding in real-time.
To help you plan your next wildlife adventure or study Indian biodiversity, here’s a complete, easy-to-read state-wise table of all National Parks in India. Enjoy exploring — and remember, every visit supports conservation!
