LatestFrom the high peaks of the Himalayas to the mountain rainforests of the Western Ghats, India's mountains are the last refuge for some of the subcontinent's rarest species. Snow leopards, Indian rhinoceros, Indian elephants and western red panda all find their habitat here. Wandering giants, master hunters and exotic animals fight to survive in India's unforgiving and magnificent mountainous regions.
India's biodiverse landscapes range from vast deserts and dense forests to towering mountains, each contributing to the country's rich tapestry of life. The Himalayas, standing tall in the north, shelter rare and iconic species such as the elusive snow leopards and Himalayan brown bears. Among the dense canopies of the Western Ghats in the south, endangered lion-tailed macaques scour the trees for jackfruit. And lying in the heart of southern India, one of its largest protected woodlands harbours Indian elephants and Bengal tigers. Then finally transitioning to the west, the Thar Desert unfolds, challenging life to adapt to extreme arid conditions. Here, blackbuck antelope and Asiatic lions navigate the vast, sandy expanses in search of food. A tapestry of ecosystems, all within one country.
