Word origin

The word 'jungle' originates from the Hindi word 'jangal', meaning uncultivated land. It was first introduced to the English language in the 18th century to describe dense tropical forests. Jungles have long captured the imagination of explorers, artists, and writers, with their rich biodiversity and mysterious allure. Today, the term is widely used to refer to dense, wild vegetation in tropical regions.
