Kanha, located in Madhya Pradesh, Central India is one of India's finest reserves.
It inspired Rudyard Kipling's epic, the Jungle Book.
Home
to amazing variety of animals in different habitat, Kanha National Park stands
brilliantly in a group of few reserves of gene pool of Indian Flora 'n' Fauna.
The Kanha forest is a unique experience, as the rich
tree cover interspersed with open grasslands allows for a rich animal
population density similar in scope to the animal rich National Parks of
Africa.
Stretching over 940 sq kms (363 sq miles), Kanha promises
a unique and satisfying experience. Its forests retain a grandeur of
wilderness rarely found elsewhere and is unparalleled with its variety of
mammals and birds. It is one of the most well maintained National Parks in
Asia and a major attraction for wildlife lovers all over the world. Over the
years animals of Kanha have become bolder and more confident, making the
park excellent for wildlife viewing and photography.
Project Tiger
has yielded remarkable results, from around 48 tigers at the beginning of
the Project Tiger, Kanha now boasts around 100 tigers, making it the best
place in the world to see tiger. The Kanha National Park also happens to be
the sole habitat of the rare hardground Barasingha or Swamp Deer (Cervus
durauceli branderi) which has been rescued from the very brink of extincti.
Overall
a great tiger and wildlife rescue.
