Wildlife holidays in Asia
Asia offers much to see and do when it comes to wildlife. In China, visit Chengdu's wonderful panda breeding facility to get up close with these fascinating creatures. While in India, escape the bustle of the cities and towns for an alternative look at the country - its natural beauty and captivating array of wild animals, including elephants and tigers.
Ranthambore National Park is one of the best places to see tigers in the wild, or for something slower paced, take a leisurely houseboat journey through Kerala's idyllic backwaters and experience thriving birdlife. In Southeast Asia, many wildlife species are endangered, but there are still opportunities to see some rare species in the wild. In Southern Laos or in the Cambodian town of Kratie, you may spot some of the few remaining freshwater dolphins in the region. Though Asia's metropolitan areas have so much to offer, get off the beaten track to discover some truly fascinating animals and plant life, including some of the world's most precious endangered species.
