Nestled along the Maikal Ranges in the Satpuras, Kanha is one of the finest wildlife destinations that you would see around the world. Kanha’s undulating landscape is dotted with dense groves of vegetation, hillocks, and meadows. The landscapes and the surrounding luxurious meadows along with the wooded strands and the dense forests offer extraordinary sightseeing opportunities for all the nature lovers.

The park is primarily a moist Sal and moist mixed deciduous forest where Bamboo, Tendu, Sal, Jamun, Arjun and Lendia flourish. Of all these habitats, it is Kanha’s meadows that are its lifeline, as they sustain large numbers of Chital, Sambar, Barasingha and Gaur, which in turn support populations of predators and co-predators like Tigers, Leopards, Wild Dogs, Jungle Cats and Jackals. Believe us, watching a big cat amidst the expansive Kanha meadows is a surreal experience for sure! Kanha best known for its towering Sal forests, is home to about 300 species of Birds, 43 species of Mammals, 26 species of Reptiles and more than 500 species of Insects.

Another attraction at Kanha is the state animal of Madhya Pradesh, the endemic - Hard Ground Barasingha which is found exclusively in Kanha Tiger Reserve. Through holistic conservation approach and effective management practices, the Tiger Reserve has seen a rise in population of this symbolic deer species which was once on the brink of extinction from the Earth.
