Spread over the Mandla District of
Madhya Pradesh, Kanha National Park and Kanha Tiger Reserve India
extends over the serene greens of around 1940 sq. km. The important part of the
interesting topography is that the whole area of the park is fully covered by
the spurs of Mekal and the horseshoe shaped valley. The serene Surpan River
wanders well through the central plains of Kanha and grasslands covering the
extensive greens. It features the sharp Rocky Mountains to provide the serene
vistas of the valley. The lush bamboo and Sal forests, ravines and grassy
meadows of the national park are supposed to be the inspiration to Rudyard
Kipling’s “The Jungle Book”.
The national park came into existence in
the year 1955 and it forms the very core of tiger reserve in 1974 as part of
Project Tiger. The landmark achievement of the park is preserving the rare
Swamp Deer known as Barasingha and rescuing it from extinction. The park
authorities have conducted strict conservation programs for the protection of
flora and fauna of the park. Hence, Kanha is one of the Asia’s most well
maintained national parks. Also known as Sunset Point, Bamni Dadar is the most
sought after tourist attraction here which is offering the awe-inspiring vistas
of sunset off the grazing Gaurs and Sambars.
Along with its diverse bird and wildlife
population, Kanha is also known for frequent sights of Tigers roaming across
the wilderness of Kanha Wildlife sanctuary and it is one of the most popular
attractions here. There are several national parks in the country but there is
nothing like Kanha National Park. You can easily spot the mighty Royal Bengal
tigers. Even if there are zoos and circuses in India, you won’t get the thrill
and experience over there that one can get all of a sudden in national parks
where tigers roam freely in their natural habitat.
