549 protected areas across every state & UT
Which parts of India have the most protected areas?
Andaman & Nicobar Islands alone accounts for 74 of the 549 marked sites — more than any mainland state — followed by Maharashtra, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, and Himachal Pradesh. For exam prep, the useful order to learn is the 86 National Parks by name first, since those are what competitive exams actually test; treat the Wildlife Sanctuary count as regional density context rather than something to memorise point-by-point.
Which is India's largest National Park?
Hemis National Park, in Jammu & Kashmir/Ladakh, is India's largest by area at 3,350 km² — a genuinely useful size benchmark to place the rest of the country's parks relative to, since most of the remaining 85 are a fraction of that.
