Tour Details

The king tiger – the largest cat of prey on earth and the mount of goddess Durga according Hindu mythology. Tigers are quite adaptable to different environments. In India they prefer mostly dry primeval forests, where the trees shed their leaves in the fall and grin anew in the spring. In the east of the country they live in swampy mangrove forests, which are called “Sundarbans”. And at the same time, the big cat feels at home in humid and evergreen tropical forests such as those on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Tigers live even in the mountainous foothills of the Himalayas. Their footprints have been spotted in the snow up to almost 4000 meters high! Siberian tigers are also used to snow and ice and roam the coniferous and birch forests of the Russian taiga. Densely overgrown terrain is important for tigers, in which they can hide well and move about unobserved if possible. Other animals also have to live here that they can capture. And there must be enough water to be found, because water is essential for them to live.
