Kanha National Park in Madhya Pradesh houses tigers, birds and Barasinghas (a deer species known for its antlers), Jim Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand is home to Bengal tigers, Irrawaddy dolphins, rare birds and lush mangroves.

While there are many hotels and resorts near these national parks, families with an adventurous streak can opt for setting up camps instead.
