No- AT-MP02
Kanha, with an
area of 1940 sq. km (740 sq. miles), at an altitude of 460 MSL (1500 ft.) is
situated in the State of Madhya Pradesh, in the heart of India, a region that
has a rich habitat encouraging a wide variety of wildlife.
A forest of
deciduous hardwood, including Sal is interspersed with stands of bamboo and
accented with colourful displays of flowering trees. The valley and plateaus are
primarily meadow lands (or maidans) in pleasant contrast to the surrounding lush
woodlands. Within their boundaries, both Kanha and Bandhavgarh protect a
multitude of animals and birds, such as Chital, Chausinga (4-horned antelope)
Sambar, Muntjak (barking deer), Gaur, leopard, wild-dog, gray jackal, wild boar,
sloth bear and, of course, the sovereign of the Park - the Bengal tiger. Kanha
also has rare and endangered Barasingha, a hard-ground-adapted swamp deer, and
the black buck antelope.
