  From the silent icy world of the Himalaya to the humid plains of the Ganges, this is a guide to the finest ecotourism destinations of India and Nepal. The two countries have established an impressive number of national parks and sanctuaries to protect and nurture not only well-known animals, such as the tiger and the Indian elephant, but also gaur, muntjac, cheetal and sambar, as well as their colourful birdlife, insects and flowers. This colour book portrays 40 of the region's protected places, as well as offering practical information on how and when to visit and what outdoor activities can be pursued.
