Although for us it seems quite a nuisance, this move by Indian Government seems plausible. Tigers numbers in India have gone down from 100,000 to less than 2000 in around a 100 years. So isolating these animals and only having certain routes open to visit the parks makes lots of sense as it would be easier to watch out for poachers.

Meanwhile, any other recommendations for luxury wildlife safari/observation tours in Asia that can be combined with Maldives would be highly appreciated.
