Kanha National Park Holidays

Famously the inspiration for Rudyard Kipling’s novel The Jungle Book, Kanha is another Indian park where tiger sightings are quite likely. The park consists of sal and bamboo forests, meadows and ravines which provide shelter to many species of wildlife – some of which have been brought back from the brink of extinction. It’s easy to see how Kanha inspired one of the world’s most beloved collection of stories.

Eco-Restoration Walk (from Singinawa Wildlife Camp)

This one-hour guided walk follows part of a nature trail covering around 58 acres of land in the forested buffer areas of the Kanha reserve and gives you a different perspective of the jungle. An expert knowledge of the forest is imperative to these walks. The guides will explain and introduce you to the many practices designed to help conserve the land. There are huge sal trees, prevalent to the area, that make up this moist deciduous forest. Then there’s the vast grasslands for which Kanha is famous where you may see barasingha deer grazing in the golden light. Treading through the jungle you might also spot chital deer, muntjac, foxes and some of the 150 species of birds whose natural habitat has been rigorously preserved. The excursions are created by trained forest guides, many of whom have been born and bred in the region. They understand every type of residential creature whether that’s tigers, sloth bears or sambar deer, as well as all the different parts of the park from the forested core to the wild outer perimeters.
