Also known as Kanha Tiger Reserve, this park is a nature’s paradise, and for the longest time has been a prime forest area for nature lovers. conservationists, tourists and anyone else enthusiastic about nature and tigers. Located in Madhya Pradesh, the park is internationally renowned for its central Indian floral and faunal attributes.
The lush green forests are composed mainly of sal trees and other mixed forest trees. Kanha is one of the oldest protected areas of India, being declared a reserve forest in 1879 and a national park in 1955. It was also among the first nine Tiger Reserves of India when project Tiger started.
The reserve has an area of 2074 sq km and is comprised of two divisions, namely the national park of 940 sq km of the critical tiger habitat, or core area, and the buffer zone of 1135 sq km.
As a group we were enthralled with the park and thoroughly enjoyed just driving around the forests and grasslands for hours at a time. Most of the drive we were all snapping iPhone pictures of the scenery. A couple of days we encountered a fairly heavy mist, which made the forests even more enchanting. So let me show you a few images of the park’s environment.
