Kanha National Park, the greatest of India’s Tiger Reserves, encompasses some 940 square kilometers of
deciduous sal forest, lightly wooded grassland, hills and gently meandering rivers –home to literally
hundgreens of species of birds and animals including Tigers.
Kanha is truly the land of tiger. It has
been proved since years as it has largest number of tigers
compare to any other national park in and India and above all it
is declared as the best managed national park to protect not
only tigers but also other wildlife animals and the life of
villagers living inside and around the national park. Kanha
Tiger Reserve is perhaps the primer venue in the world today in
which to view free-living tigers.

In many other protected areas
of the subcontinent, the chances for sighting a wild tiger are
reasonably good: for example, Bandhavgarh, Corbett and
Ranthambhore in India , as well as Royal Chitwan in Nepal
However, Kanha has been rated as the top tiger park in India
-and indeed in the whole of Asia.
The local people of Kanha have the major hand
in making this national park a world famous ecosystem for the wild animals. The
park has various different species including "twelve horned”
barasingha, hiran,
jackal ,an ubiquitous chital, black-faced langur, monkeys, guar
(India’s tallest wild buffalo)
You can also catch sight of spiky- horned Nilgai, as well as porcupines,
pythons, sloth bears, wild boar, mouse deer or the magnificent
sambar.

Kanha
also supports an exotic and colorful array of birds, including
Indian rollers, bee-eaters, golden orioles, paradise
flycatchers, egrets, some outlandish hornbills, numerous
kingfishers and birds of prey. There are other national parks in India with more awesome scenery
viz- Ranthambhore,
Corbett etc. However, there is no better place in
India and perhaps in the whole world to see the tiger than in
Kanha.
