Hidden India

While India's monsoon rains, intense heat and droughts create challenges for the animals that live there, these seasonal extreme enable an amazing variety of diverse life to live across the whole subcontinent.

From the little-known Western Ghats to the mighty Himalayas, India's subcontinent is surrounded by mountains, and the lush forests and tea gardens found in their guarded habitats shelter some of the greatest biodiversity in the world.

From its holy source in the Himalayas to the tangled Sundarban forest, the Ganges flows through the heart of India, carrying precious nutrients, irrigating the land and creating hidden beaches and swamps that are safe havens for illusive wildlife.
