Kanha Travel
The
Kanha National Park, in Madhya Pradesh, forms the core of the Kanha Tiger
Reserve created in 1974, under Project Tiger. Stretching over 940 sq km, the
vegetation, chiefly made of sal and bamboo forests, grasslands and streams,
this park is the sole habitat of the rare hardground barasingha.
Kanha National Park: The forests of the Banjar valley and Halon valley,
respectively forming Kanha's western and eastern halves, had even , at the turn
of the century, been famous for their deer and tiger population. By a special
statute in 1955, Kanha National Park came into being. Since then, a string of
stringent conservation programmes have been launched, for the overall protection
of the park's fauna and flora. It is one of the most well-maintained National
Parks in Asia, and a major attraction for avid wildlife buffs all over the world.
