- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 มิ.ย. 2022
- National Parks protect the greatest spectacles of the natural world. There are now over 4,000 of these protected areas worldwide, preserving the world's most spectacular wildlife, some of the most interesting geological formations and, in some cases, important man-made structures. This large collection of national parks spans every corner of the globe and every imaginable setting from the mountainous peaks of the Himalayas to the coastal rainforests of Costa Rica. On this journey, we'll explore 30 of the greatest national parks in the world and what makes them so captivating.

Hi everyone! I've tried to include as much of the world as possible in this video but unfortunately, there were MANY incredible national parks and countries that I had to omit :( In addition to delving into some of the individual countries, this series will feature a similar video for most of the continents and I'll try to cover as many countries as possible. I am limited to the media I can find for specific national parks but if you have any suggestions as to which parks I should include in future videos, I'd really appreciate your feedback. Thanks and have a great weekend!
The Yorkshire moors and the peaky district.
chitwan national park in nepal
Conguillio national park in Chile. Araucarias are my favorite tree and the whole park is very unique
What about Serengeti national park
From my own country of Finland I'd suggest Kolovesi national park since it includes part of Saimaa lake, the largest lake in Finland and home to the endangered saimaa ringed seal. It also has many old cave paintings and is in general very beautiful.
I would love it if you made a video on unpopular endangered animals, like ones that the media doesn't highlight.
That's a great idea! Have you see a channel called Tsuki? He does lots of videos on rare species
@@Textbooktravel Oh yeah, I love Tsuki's channel!

You guys just left :
1. Komodo national park where you can find the komodo dragon. While the islands are so beautiful and the sea itself has a great biodiversity;
2. Tanjung puting national park. A national park inside the lush rainforest of borneo. The home of orangutan;
3. Raja ampat national park. 75% of the sea biodiversity you can find here. While the limestone islands are so picturesque;
More of them, indonesia still has so many great national parks which will show you the beautiful nature of mountains, sea, islands, and forest
yg punya channel kurang wawasan,.
And like the whole of the United States but they do in another video.
satu negara, satu tamnas di video ini bang
@@ariffirmansyah4405 bro, betul satu negara satu taman tapi video dia ini diedit, pada awalnya negara kita tidak satu taman nasional pun yg masuk makanya abang diatas komen seperti itu, videonya ini ditambah, awalnya setelah yg Filipina itu habis videonya
@@MargaretThatcherTheCumSnatcher Yes, USA deserve a special video about their National Parks, but also the canadiano ones.
Man I wish I had money to travel the world and visit this amazing places.
Brazilian here, just webt to pantanal last september. It is an amazing de place full of life. i douvt that in 3 days you won’t see a jaguar. Capybaras and Caymans are everywhere, besides that one of the best places in the world if you enjoy fishing.
Wow! That sounds incredible, you are very lucky! Brazil is quickly topping my list of places I'd most like to visit
I’ll have to put it on my list, haven’t been to brazil yet
My favourite country , by preconceptions
Was in the Pantanals a few years ago (2018) and yes it is amazing... Saw so many species in a really beautiful environment.. Didnt see Jaguar but i will be back!!
Pantanal is top 3 best places for bird watching
The Himalayas has living megafauna like the Bactrian Camel (Oreocamelus bactrianus), the Yak (Poephagus grunniens), the Takin (Budorcas taxicolor), the Moose (Alces alces), the Elk (Cervus canadensis), the Central Asian Deer (Cervus hanglu), and the Red Deer (Cervus elaphus).
Snow leopards, Brown bear, Black bear, and Tibetan wolves are also megafauna
That is true.

Amazing video, as always!! Keep up the great work
I was also expecting Keibul Lamjao National park of Manipur, India.
It's the only floating national park in the world.
the last natural habitat of the Sangai deer.
Thanks for these great recommendations!
LOVING this new channel!! Haven't seen videos specifically about biomes or animal sub types that we don't see often because they aren't "iconic"
Great content! Gonna be a long time sub forsure!
Love your videos! Always very informative and interesting
Thank you, Sam!
Excellent channel! Thank you for all your hard work!
That was extremely interesting, thank you !
Wonderful!!
Been looking forward to this.
I'm sorry it took so long, Adrian! I hope you enjoy it! Have a great weekend
@@Textbooktravel
No worries.
Just pleased to see more wonderful content.
Take care of yourself.
the documentary was so informative and well resaerched.Eveeyone need to watch such content.plz keep the journey going on.
What a fantastic, thorough, and entertaining video! 14:50 was very funny to me as an American “mate” - cheers and can’t wait to watch more
Yay new video!!! Love this channel!!
Thank you for watching :)
Gr8 video - thanks.... Wow i have been to 11 of the parks in the video (a few i havent been to but have been to neighbouring parks in the same country). and almost all of the others are on my list to visit. I backpack a lot (overland style - e.g fly into China and exit from Cyprus) and the wildlife encounters are always my most memorable experiences. One of my more recent best experiences was Wilipatu Nat Park in SriLanka. In one day i saw 3 different leopards, sun bear and 2 golden jackals and a lot more... and then on the way back to my homestay wild elephants swimming outside the park.
Thanks a lot
I love these videos so much!!!!!
awesome comprehensive video ... good list. Would have included more parks from India, Mozambique, Chile and Tanzania.
Wonderful video! Agreed the US needs its own National Parks video.
Yoooo your pronounciation of Vatnajokul is almost so spot on, I could BARELY spot it - big ups and another thank you for the content ^^
Excellent video! Will you continue the previous National Park series?
Thank you! Yes, absolutely! Those videos are already planned out but I am going to space them out a little bit to vary the content a little and experiment with other topics & locations
Very informative video added a couple places to bucket list.... Croatia is now near the top!
Another awesome video!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
@@Textbooktravel I enjoy all tor videos and I can't wait for the next one
I'd love a video on frogs, but they're so diverse that it would be quite the effort.
awesome video .. should have included national parks with famous landscapes like Yosemite or Colca Canyon or Kaziranga or Himalayan NationalbPark
love that Jasper made it on your list
Yellowstone should have been included! It’s the place where national parks were born, and it’s incredibly unique between its geological situation and it’s fauna
I was wondering why nothing from the US was included until the end of the video. Rather flattering to dedicate a separate video to us.
I know it's raining and cold now, but I'm already ready to plan my summer national park trips!!
Wow, as a Thai people, I didn’t expect to see Thailand Khao Sok in this video. Thank you. Nice to know special animal species in Khao Sok.
Thailand could have a few on this list, including Si Lanna National Park, in the northern part of the country. It's mountainous jungles, is filled with waterfalls and caves. It's also home to tigers, barking deer, pangolin and many birds to include the whistling ducks and Mrs. Hume's pheasant (one of a few COLORFUL "game" birds). Historically, it's also had elephants and rhinos, among many other jungle creatures, but many have been extirpated.
Very good work for this video.
Thank you!
man if I had the money I would take like a 2 year long trip to all of theses national parks. no plans, go and see what happens. I feel that would probably one of the greatest journeys a human could ever do
Nothing in this list will compare to the Kruger National Park in South Africa, it is a true wildlife park not just for the scenery as many parks are around the world. We have traveled the world and moved to Canada from South Africa for work purposes and the parks here are not even close to what we had in Africa. Trust me go to the kruger National park you will be hooked forever!! There is no place on this earth like that park. Miss it everyday!!!
Cool 👍
Nice content brooooo
This Channel is my top 3 now. Than you guys giving recognition to what I believe is the most imp. Thing to improve on. Thanks for highlighting countries like nepal and india that West doesnt know abt much and are known for bad reasons
It is very beautiful video 😍👌👌👌👌😍😍😍
Glad to see Abisko (swe) on the list. It's jawdropping!
Wowwwww, you elaborated Sagarmatha national park as located in northern part of china, well played!!
6:16 I like how it whacks the dust into its face and is all like “this is ok”
LOVELY!
Ojalá se agregue también la Reserva de Biosfera de Sian Ka'an 🇲🇽
Perdon, pero... Para mi casi todo território mexicano deberia ser parque nacional o patrimonio cultural de la Humanidade, como:
La cuidad de Puebla y su region.
El Popocatepetl.
El Orizaba.
Puerto Vallarta.
Los sítios arqueológicos de los aztecas y de los mayas tambien.
Y... (Porque no?) Toda península de Yucatán.
Saludos de São Paulo, Brazil.
This TH-cam channel is unique.
🙏🙏From 🇮🇳
Great video. Minor entomology nerd quibble: your pic of a "jewel beetle" while talking about Khao Sok is actually some sort of Pentatomoid true bug.
There's a bunch of features that separate them but a big one visible here is beetles have chewing mouthparts (mandibles) whereas the true bugs (hemiptera) have a needle-like proboscis for drinking sap/blood/the insides of other insects. You can see the proboscis in your pic as the long straight structure extending from the head and held close to the body ending between the base of the legs.
I thought gir national park would be on here but that could be for another video!
You should do a video on Canada’s national park system. The goal of Parks Canada is to have at least 1 national park for every eco region in the country. A national project that I think might interest you.
Canada’s national park system is the weirdest. I never understand how Point Pelee or Georgian Bay can be a national park since they have nothing special. Meanwhile tombstone territorial park which was praised as the patagonia of the north is not even a national park
@@keyrockcap9329
That sounds like a misunderstanding of what Parks Canada is and does. Vs Provincial and Territorial park systems
I'm floating in the outer space and sucking the most out of this videos energy, nature is so vibrant wow, love this shit💀peace✌️
England, the most beautiful country on planet ???...hahaha...I bet 10 grands that author of this video is British ;)
You could put something else other than Semeru volcanic national park in Indonesia. Still, glad you make this video
Chittwan national park is bigger and more wild by the way love your work keep it up love from nepal
I think kaziranga in Assam, India should also have been included. It has the highest density of tigers per square km and home to unique one horned rhino 🦏
I think this list is more based on tourist attractions rather than biodiversity. Because Ranthambore national park which lies in my native district is one of the biggest tourist attractions among india's national park. Even Ambani family comes regularly, various bollywood stars,great number of foreigners also visit this national park on yearly basis. I personally have visited 3 times because it's just 40 km away from my house
Kaziranga national park and bandhavgarh are true beauty
I love video thanks
from Armenia ✌️🇦🇲
Pretty rad
Australia better be here
Haha of course! There will likely be an entire video on Australia at some point, I think it has the most national parks of any country, over 600?!
Love you so much my country Tanzania you are so beautiful.
20:30 IT'S PABU!!! The Prince of Pounce! :)
The way I want to see all of them
I love that you used the correct name for Uluru! And I can see how hard you worked pronounce everything right!
Bromo Mountain in Java is Amazing
“Most beautiful country on earth - England”
Looooooooool
Manu Park in Peru should be on the list. Its remote but probably the most biodiverse spot in the Amazon
Para aqueles que estão lendo isto, se você estiver passando por um momento difícil, lembre-se de que você não está sozinho e nunca desista. Desejo a você saúde, sucesso e felicidade.
you should have included chitwan national park of Nepal
Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park ❤🇮🇩
Their is beauty in life, some people disagree but I still believe their is beauty in life.
So many pretty places in the world and I live in Kansas :(
Gates of the Arctic national park is where I live
Very disappointed that you didn't include any national parks in Italy and/or Iberian Peninsula. There are some that definitely deserve a spot here much more than Bavarian forest national park. Have a look at Abruzzo national park or Gran Sasso National park in central Italy as an example...very biodiverse and very beautiful!
I'm so sorry! I really tried to fit Italy in (I visited with my family when I was young and loved it there); I had Tre Cime De Lavarado in the original list then realised it was a nature park, not a national park so I switched it out for Dolomiti Bellunesi but then realised there was barely any video or photos I could find :( Italy will 100% be in the European Parks video and I may even do a separate video on Italy at some point. Thank you for the suggestions, I've put both of them in the spreadsheet!
@@Textbooktravel You probably won't see this, but it would be really cool is you did a video on cetaceans, or rodents.
this is my prediction on how your going to lay out the remaining mammalian orders.
For rodentia, since there are over 2000 species, this could be broken down into 5 videos (like how you did with the carnivorans). 1) Sciuromorpha (squirrels), 2) Hystricomorpha (African and south American rodents), 3) Muridae (true mice and rats), 4) All non-Murid Myomorphs (mouse-like rodents), (like how you did with the feliforms (I spilt Muridae video from Myomorpha video, because Muridae is the most speciose family in rodentia and mammalia as a whole, with around 500 species.)). Finally, Castorimorpha + Anomaluromorpha (I grouped the scaly-tailed squirrels and springhares with the beavers, gophers and kangaroo rodents because, there are only 8 species in Anomaluromorpha and aren't the most well-known off all rodents. so I grouped them together with the Castorimorphs because they are the second smallest suborder in rodentia, with around 100 species.)
And that was just the Rodents. since this comment is so long, I will do separate ones for the others.
I’m from Thailand and I haven’t even heard of Khao sok.
I love Thailand! I lived in Chiang Mai for 6 months a few years ago and was blown away with how nice the people are and how beautiful the country is, you are very fortunate to call that place your home 🙏
@@Textbooktravel Whaattt! I'm literally from Chiang Mai.
Im surprised the javan rhino wasnt mentioned
I think 🤔 Kaziranga, India deserve to be on list.
Tiger, Great Indian Rhino, Water buffalo, Elephant, Sambhar and many more.
Im suprised table mountain national park was left of the list considering it's the only place on earth where the fynbos biome exists
Are you going to finish the United States national parks soon
I think Western ghat national parks are more diverse and more animals than in Rajasthan
It's older than Himalaya ,UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the eight biodiversity hotspots in the world
Highest tiger, leopard and elephant in India
I have a dedicated video on Indian National Parks planned at some point in the near future! I found a whole album of Indian music I can use so I'm very excited to make that one. Thanks for the feedback!
@@Textbooktravel Don't stereotype with music please.... for sure you can give essence of it including various instruments, music and all. And please lower the music volume if you are narrating places. ;)
@@PiyushSainiii I think he knows how to make videos.
I saw Tiger at Ramthamborne and Asian Lion at Sir (in Gujarat) and Rhino in Jaigon and i saw a Lesser Red Panda (but it ran so fast i couldnt get a photo) trekking in West Bengal. Indias wildlife and diversity is incredible.
That's a bizarre claim. I bet you haven't even see all the animals in Ranthambore national park,I know Western ghat have great diversity but Ranthambore national park is one the most visited national park in India
sagarmatha national park❤🇳🇵🇳🇵
Where's Kaziranga NP, situated along d mighty Brahmaputra in Assam, NE India, a biodiversity hotspot...home 2 most of d one horned Rhinos in d world along with Elephants, Tigers, Water Buffalos, swamp deer, countless varieties of birds & other precious flora & fauna. Also arguably d most successful NP wrt wildlife conservation/protection.
Hello bro, I just wanted to tell you if you could make a video about the national parks or reserves in Latin America? Greetings from Cuba
That is a really great idea, thank you! I had planned to do one on South America but you're right, including all of Latin America would be much more interesting, gracias!
@@Textbooktravel If you can, you could include the Cienaga de Zapata, the Alejandro de Humboldt National Park, and Lake Enriquillo, since they always mention national parks and nature conservation areas in Mexico, Central America, and South America, but almost never from the Caribbean, the first two are from Cuba and the last from the Dominican Republic,and thank you very much for answering my message(;
Thank you! I'll try my best, I've made a note of all 3 of them :)
Textbook travel, you know how I said that in another video I said that you only have the pinnipeds left in the order carnivora? Well, I just realized I forgot about the foxes and south American foxes, (I know you said that you would do an in-depth analysis on the herpestids and other feliformes).
Guarenzhou national park,elephant haven
For the second largest mammalian order, Chiroptera, otherwise simply known as bats. Probably will just get one long 30 minute video. I want it be split up by chapter, by having the larger families getting their own chapter, while the remaining smaller families will be lumped in one chapter. I'm grouping bats as one video because they generally look all quite similar in terms of body plan.
The orders Lagomorpha and Eulipotyphla are big enough to get there own videos.
The members of the order montremata are some of the most distinct and weirdest mammals on earth, that they will be there own video, despite having only 5 extant species.
The orders Pilosa and Cingulata, collectively known as Xenarthra, probably will get there own video together organized by family.
The order Proboscidea will probably have there own video explaining the current members and the most interesting extinct members.
For the remaining 6 orders, being:
Tubulidentata
Macroscelidea
Afrosoricida
Hyracoidea
Sirenia &
Pholidota
probably will all be in one video.
Now, is that it? have I forgotten anyone? hmm... oh! I know, Scandentia and Dermoptera! I have decided for these 2, to be in the upcoming primates video (if you decide to include them that is), because evolutionarily they are very close to primates. As far as you can get before you get into the order primates.
"objectively the most beautiful country on Earth, England"
Damn fucking right *glares at Wales and Scotland*
Where does it state "objectively.....etc?"

You missed Chitwan National Park, home to one-horned rhinoceros.
Great effort and topic. One note on trying to fit in so much great stuff... the narration is too fast making watching trigger a stressing vibe instead of relaxing immersion. Sometime saying less can make people listen more.
It's always Perú and Argentina but never Chile 🥺🥺 at least we have Pedro Pascal 🤧
