Kanha Tiger Reserve
Spread across 940 sq. km. of core forest and over 2,000 sq. km. of the buffer zone, the Kanha Tiger Reserve landscape is one of India's most celebrated protected forests and a world-renowned wildlife destination. The reserve features four safari zones — Kanha, Kisli, Mukki and Sarhi — each offering unique landscapes and excellent opportunities to spot the majestic Royal Bengal Tiger.
Believed to have inspired Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, Kanha is also home to the rare Hard Ground Barasingha, Indian gaur, wild dogs, sloth bears, and over 300 bird species.
