Mammals Western Ghats
The Western Ghats are among the best places for observing Asian elephants in the wild. It also holds healthy populations of two globally endangered big cats - the tiger and leopard.
Gaur, among the largest of bovids, are also found in these forests along with several species of deer and antelope making up an impressive list of herbivorous mammals that occur in this ecoregion.
As such, the Western Ghats forests, especially in the foothills, contain an excellent diversity of large mammals occurring at high densities. Our recommended tours take you to prime locations of large mammal congregations in south India.
For those who are interested and perhaps a little adventurous, we also include habitats in which rare Western Ghats endemics, such as the endangered lion-tailed macaque and Nilgiri tahr, occur.
