The Best National Parks in Asia To visit
Ranthambore National Park, India
Ranthambore plays an important role in terms of conservation and this has allowed
the number of wild tigers to grow. It’s estimated that there are now over 80 tigers
here which is a 45% growth in the past eight years.
After going on two safaris here, we were lucky enough to spot two Royal Bengal
tigers, Sambar deer, vultures, and monkeys among other wildlife. You’ve also got the
chance to see caracals, crocodiles, leopards, sloth bears, and striped hyenas.
Going on a tiger safari in India is an experience that should be on everyone’s bucket
list. However, booking them isn’t an easy task so it’s often best to book through your
accommodation provider if possible.
Chitwan National Park, Nepal
Chitwan National Park was the first national park of Nepal and was established in
1973. It’s a World Heritage Site and is located 99 miles (160 km) from the capital of
Kathmandu, making it one of the country’s most accessible national parks.
Chitwan is one of only a few national parks in Asia that offers elephant safaris but
this isn’t something you want to partake in, as it’s not an ethical practice.
However, there are jeep safaris available and you’ll have a great chance of spotting
wildlife this way. Over 70% of the park is covered in forestry though so wildlife can
be quite tricky to spot. However, if you’ve got binoculars then you’ll be ahead of the
game.
Chitwan National Park is home to Nepal’s big 5; the Asian elephant, Bengal tiger,
gharial crocodile, greater one-horned rhino, and the spotted leopard. You’ve also got
a chance to spot several deer species, monkeys, and wild boar among other
animals.
Khao Sok National Park, Thailand
You’ll find plenty of incredible national parks in Asia but you don’t want to miss out on
visiting Khao Sok! It’s one of the top national parks in Thailand for wildlife watching
so has a lot to offer.
Khao Sok is located around 78 miles (126 km) from Phuket and is known for its
striking limestone formations, floating raft houses, and variety of wildlife. It’s also
home to one of the oldest evergreen rainforests in the world.
Cat Tien National Park, Vietnam
There are tons of other fascinating species to be found here too. These include
Asian elephants, clouded leopards, sun bears, gibbons, and langurs. There’s also
plenty of birdlife to be spotted, with species including the painted stork, great
hornbill, and several types of eagle.
There are a couple of different ways to explore the national park. By boat is one of
the most popular, but there are some fantastic hiking trails too!
