Kanha National Park is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers, offering a chance to experience the diverse flora and fauna of central India.
Kanha National Park, located in the heart of India in Madhya Pradesh, spans over 940 square kilometers and is part of the larger Kanha Tiger Reserve. It is renowned for its significant population of the royal Bengal tiger, Indian leopards, sloth bears, and the barasingha, also known as the swamp deer. The park's landscape is a picturesque combination of dense forests, open grasslands, and meandering streams. Originally established as a wildlife sanctuary in 1933 and declared a national park in 1955, Kanha serves as a crucial habitat for various species and has been a pivotal area for the conservation of the barasingha. Recreational opportunities include guided jeep safaris, bird watching, and exploring the park's buffer zones via nature walks. Notable landmarks include Bamni Dadar, a stunning sunset point, and the Kanha Museum which provides insights into the region's ecology and conservation efforts. The park enjoys global acclaim following Rudyard Kipling’s inspiration for 'The Jungle Book.' With its rich biodiversity and scenic beauty, it continues to draw visitors from across the globe.
