Kanha National Park

Kanha National Park, also called Kanha Tiger Reserve, is one of the tiger reserves of India and the largest National Park of Madhya Pradesh, which is a state in the heart of India. Created in 1955, the present-day Kanha, comprising an area of 950 sqkm, is divided into two sanctuaries, Hallon and Banjar.

Kanha Tiger Reserve is home to over 1,000 species of flowering plants that take advantage of the lowland forest, a mixture of sal and other mixed-forest trees, interspersed with meadows. The highland forests are tropical moist, deciduous type and of a completely different nature from bamboo on slopes. A notable Indian ghost tree (Davidia involucrata) can also be seen in the dense forest.

The park has a significant population of Bengal tigers, Indian leopards, sloth bears, gaurs or Indian bisons, barasinghas and Indian wild dogs, as well as swamp deers, spotted deers, sambar antelopes, barking deers and four-horned antelopes.

One of the largest and most scenic national parks in India (and sometimes referred to as ‘ʹthe Ngorongoro of India”), Kanha Tiger Reserve offers its visitors an immersion in the forest that was depicted in the famous novel by Rudyard Kipling “The Jungle Book”.
