Tour India's best wildlife parks

India Tours main menu

Bandhavgarh, Kanha and Pench National Parks are the finest wildlife reserves that abound with a variety of species. Both  Bandhavgarh and Kanha National Parks have one of the densest populations of Tigers in India. The Bandhavgarh National Park was only incorporated into Project Tiger in 1994 but is certainly among the top three when it comes to chances of encountering this magnificent predator. While having much in common with Kanha, the forests being largely Sal and bamboo, the most striking difference is the huge bluff topped by the old fort of the Maharajahs of Rewa dominating the whole area. The steep cliffs provide nesting habitat for Long-billed Vultures and the local Shahin race of the Peregrine Falcon. Encounters with mammals are frequent. Herbivores and monkeys would be hard to avoid. Following up their alarm calls is often the best way of tracking down the predators, which may be a Leopard, Tiger, or even a pack of Dhole (Red Dogs). Among Bandhavgarh's 250+ bird species the Lesser Adjutant, Brown Fish Owl and Mottled Wood Owl are perhaps more easily seen here.

Kanha National Park is said to have some 100 tigers roaming its premises. Other than the Bengal tigers, Kanha is also home to great population of panthers, wild boar, sloth bears, jackals, hyenas, wolfs and other predators. It is also known for wide variety of birds and butterflies.
