Due to its diverse topography and varying climatic conditions, India is the second largest country on the planet to have such diverse life forms.
In order to protect the several endangered species, an endeavour to strike a balance between ecology and tourism is essential.

Within it shelter some outstanding temple and palaces. Not toofar away is Orchha, with its 3 dramatic palaces, in a very scenic location on a bend in the Betwa River. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Khajuraho shows you the best of the ancient North Indian style of sculptural temple architecture. Bandavghar National Park has the hieghest success rate of sighting tigers of any Park inIndia.A highlight here is viewing tigers on elephant back.
