The Beautiful National Parks of New Zealand
New Zealand has some of the most amazing scenery in the world, and that’s no exaggeration. What makes this scenery so impressive and awe inspiring are the extreme differences in terrain, elevation, and features. New Zealand’s most beautiful scenery has been protected by National Parks, which can be found all over the North and South Islands. This page will give you an overview of some of the best New Zealand National Parks, but be warned… you may find yourself entirely obsessed with visiting the Land of the Long White Cloud (or Aotearoa, as the native Maori call it).

In this article today I’d like to talk about several tips, tricks, and techniques that just about everybody can use to enjoy a wonderful vacation at any number of national parks for a lot less money.
Most people don’t realize how incredibly lucky we are in the United States of America to have such a vast network of national parks to enjoy. These parks allow incredible vacation opportunities right in our own backyards. Today I’d like to talk about several different ways that you can enjoy these national treasures much cheaper than you may have ever expected.
Kaziranga National Park
Kaziranga National Park, is an esteemed national park of India. This protected area of Assam has no dearth of distinct flora and fauna. Due to which, in the year 1985 it has designated as one of the famous natural World Heritage Site of our country.

Kanha National Park Accommodations, Activities and Safari Reservations
Kanha National Park is a famous tiger-reserve-national park situated in the Balaghat and Mandla districts of India’s Madhya Pradesh state. The park came to be last June 1955. Prior to this, it comprised of 2 sanctuaries – the Banjar sanctuary which is about 300 square kilometers and the Hallon sanctuary which is about 250 square kilometers. However, at current, is it already about 940 square kilometers in area. In fact, the Kanha Tiger Reserve stretches even to a 1009 square kilometer buffer zone; plus, the 110 square kilometers of its neighbor – Phen Sanctuary. Species you can find here include the Indian wild dog, Barasingha, sloth bear, Royal Bengal Tiger and even leopards.
At current, the park houses the world’s biggest number of tigers. This made the city one of the world’s best tourist destinations. Fascinating sites to see include tigers in their natural habitat; after all, this is the valley where these tigers were actually found.
National Park System Visitors Up by 180%
According to the National Park Service about 272 million people visited the country’s 391 parks in 2006, the last year for which complete statistics are available. Also, according to the Park Service, the number of current visitors appears to be sharply on the rise. Tour operators agree. One outfit that books tours to these prime recreational areas says that they have seen a booking increase of 180% in the past year alone.
It is not hard to understand why. You can get the most spectacular natural views in the country at the national parks, from coral reefs to towering mountains, it’s all there. These wilderness preserves are uniquely an American invention. Perhaps the most famous, Yellowstone National Park, was established by an act signed by President U. S. Grant in 1872. The United States was the first country to officially designate an immense area of its natural wilderness as a national preserve for all the succeeding generations yet to come.
