Kanha National Park Safari Trips & Tours

One of the first areas in the country to be protected under the innovative Project Tiger, launched by the government in 9173, catching a glimpse of a striped copper coat in Kanha is highly likely. It’s one of the prettiest parks in the state and its dense sal forests, bamboo jungles and golden, grassy meadows are often credited as the inspiration for the vivid landscapes in Kipling’s Jungle Book. The national park, a protected 940-sq-km area, is actually part of the larger2059-sq-km ‘tiger reserve’, which, combined, are divided into a further four safari zones. All four have a good reputation for sightings of the feline kind, with Kisli and Mukki perhaps coming top if we had to say (and Mukki being the quieter of the two). Once you’ve seen your Royal Bengal, keep your eyes peeled for southern swamp deer, unique to the area, langurs, bison and plenty of dainty antelope.
