KANHA NATIONAL PARK

Kanha National Park, also known as the Kanha Tiger Reserve is the largest national park of Central India. It is located in the Maikal Range of the Central Higlands of India. Kanha National Park is spread across two main valleys, Halon in the east and Banjar in the west. The deciduous trees are predominant in nature, Sal being the main tree. Thick clumps of tall bamboo trees are spread across the park. In the higher altitude the vegetation becomes denser. In 1968, the Government of India relocated the Baiga tribe from 28 villages of Kanha in order to preserve the tigers and the wildlife ecosystem of this region. Kanha National Park is famous for its vast stretches of grasslands interspersed with forests of Sal and bamboo.

Kanha National Park is not only a major attraction for tiger sighting in India but is also the only natural habitat for the highly endangered – Barasingha. The park has numerous small streams running all across acting as the main source of life for the wild animals. The magnanimous park was a source of inspiration to the famous author Rudyard Kipling for writing his best seller “Jungle Book”. The restaurant of Baghira Log Hut, Kisli is located in the middle of the jungle and is a surprising treat to the visitors.
