KANHA
Wildlife Expedition (2N & 3D)
22-23-24 April 2023
Kanha Tiger Reserve, also called Kanha National Park, is one of the tiger reserves of India and the largest national park of Madhya Pradesh, a state in the heart of India. The present-day Kanha area was divided into two sanctuaries, Hallon and Banjar, of 250 and 300 sq. km respectively. Kanha National Park was created on 1st June 1955 and in 1973 was made the Kanha Tiger Reserve. Today it stretches over an area of 940 sq. km in the two districts Mandla and Balaghat. Together with a surrounding buffer zone of 1,067 sq. km and the neighboring 110 sq. km Phen Sanctuary, it forms the Kanha Tiger Reserve. This makes it the largest National Park in Central India. Kanha Tiger Reserve was ranked in the top 10 Famous Places for Tourists. The park has a significant population of Royal Bengal tiger, Indian leopards, the sloth bear, barasingha and Indian wild dog. The lush sal and bamboo forests, grassy meadows and ravines of Kanha provided inspiration to Rudyard Kipling for his famous novel Jungle Book.
Kanha Tiger Reserve has species of tigers, leopards, wild dogs, wild cats, foxes, and jackals. Among the deer species, swamp deer or hard ground barasingha is the pride of the place as it is the only subspecies of swamp deer in India. The animal is adapted to hard ground unlike swamp deer of the north which lives in marshy swamps. The reserve has been instrumental in rescuing the swamp deer from extinction. Indian gaur, belonging to the ox genus, is found in Kanha but seen mostly as winter ends. In summer gaur inhabit meadows and water holes in the park.
Blackbuck has inexplicably become very rare. They vanished completely, but have been reintroduced recently inside a fenced area in the park. Nilgai can still be seen near the Sarahi Gate, while the Indian wolf once commonly seen at Mocha is a rare sight now. Hyena and sloth bear are seen occasionally. Langurs and wild boars are common, but the pugnacious rhesus macaque is seen less often.
