Bandhavgarh National Park
Situated in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, Bandhavgarh National Park is a 448-square-kilometer renowned tiger reserve. Nestled among the picturesque Vindhya and Satpura ranges, this is one of India’s most beautiful national parks. The dramatic landscape features tropical forests and woodlands, and steep rocky hills with flat grasslands in the valleys below.
Bandhavgarh is famed for its high density of Bengal tigers, offering a unique chance to witness these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. Its lush forests and rich history, including ancient fort ruins, add to the allure of this remarkable destination.
Kanha National Park
Kanha is one of India’s largest national parks, covering 1945 square kilometers, and is located in the Maikal Hills of the Satpura Hills range in the southeastern part of the state of Madhya Pradesh. The park has beautiful areas of sal forests, large bamboo stretches, and lush green meadows. Kanha National Park, often hailed as the inspiration for Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, is equally enchanting.
It boasts diverse flora and fauna, from the elusive leopard to the charming swamp deer, and is a significant conservation area for the hard-ground barasingha. The park's vast grasslands and dense forests provide a picturesque backdrop for exploring the region's rich biodiversity.
