The fastest land animal, the graceful and endearing speedy Cheetah which had become extinct in India is now set to return this August 2022 with many of them being relocated to the Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh from Namibia. India is now becoming the proud home to Six Big and Fifteen Small Cats, having already been home to five. This land of Kipling, Jungle Book, Mowgli, Sher Khan, Bhaloo, Bagira and Haathi is now going to become heads and shoulders above all else as the "Greatest Cats Country on Earth"!
As the paradise on this Earth, the Kashmir Valley becomes the centre of tourism again seeing a great revival of both domestic and international tourism there, we too look forward to relaunching what for many of us used to be a second home in the past. The combination of the Golden Triangle with the Kashmir Valley is possibly offering the greatest and most diverse experiences that are possible within North India and the Himalayan regions together.
