According to tour operators, wildlife lovers are flocking to Ranthambore, Corbett, Pench and Kanha National Park in huge numbers to have a glimpse of a tiger. And if reports are to be believed, tourists are actually getting to sight tigers. It is good to know as those who go to faraway and difficult-to-reach places are not returning empty handed.

Ecstatic with this response from wildlife enthusiasts, Leisure Hotels, which maintains three resorts in Corbett National Park, is mulling over constructing properties in other tiger reserves too.
