India’s lesser‑known jungle safari spots, from Bera in Rajasthan to Valmiki in Bihar, promise wildlife sightings that rival the popular parks.
Bera Wildlife Sanctuary in Rajasthan is a hidden gem for safari enthusiasts, offering chances to spot species such as the Indian leopard, sloth bear, and a variety of birds.
Despite being less frequented than Ranthambore, Bera’s dense thorny scrub and waterholes provide a natural habitat that attracts wildlife.
In Bihar, Valmiki National Park, named after the ancient poet, is another off‑beat safari destination, known for its dense forest and the presence of elephants, tigers, and a variety of reptiles.
Tourists seeking authentic wildlife encounters can plan visits to these parks during the dry season, when animals congregate around water sources.
