Today, it is famous for its tigers and is one of the best places
in the country to see majestic predators in the wild. The tigers
can be spotted quite often even during the day, at their normal
pursuits – hunting and taking care of their young ones. With the
strict measures that have been taken for their conservation, they
seem quite accustomed to human activity and are not disturbed
by it.
