Unique,
mysterious and forever fascinating, the Indian subcontinent
embraces some of the most beautiful wonders in the world.
To our utter good fortune, whale sharks, saltwater crocodiles
and green turtles still swim the coastal waters of the Andaman
and Nicobar Islands. And in the legendary snow-capped Himalayan
ranges that were thrust skyward 25 million years ago, the
snow leopard still pads dominance over musk deer, Tibetan
antelope, ibex, marmots and voles. Ruminative rhinos graze
nonchalantly in the riverine grassland forests of Kaziranga
in Assam that have been carefully-crafted by the ancient rivers.
Gentle giants trumpet and frog calls resonate in the jungles
of the Western Ghats... perhaps the oldest mountain chain
in the world. Visit wild India, let it fascinate you... Yet,
while we cherish the majestic beauty, we must not forget that
we are but guests of nature and that we need to protect all
that we are gifted with for posterity. |
