March 21 marks the International Day of Forests. The objective
of this day is to raise awareness about conservation of forests. On this
day, countries are encouraged to promote the growth and plantation of
trees and to celebrate and protect greenery around them. Not only is
greenery good for the environment, but it is also aesthetically
pleasing. Green landscapes, which are now sadly sustaining because of
authorities implementing laws for their protection, constitute some of
the most picturesque views for your travelgram. So, here are some of the
most beautiful national parks in India for you to book as your next
travel destination, which also have an enriching story about them.
