Located in the core of Madhya Pradesh, the Kanha Kisli National Park is among India’s most favorite wildlife regions. It is reputed for its superb landscapes, rich flora, and fauna, and flourishing tiger populace. This National Park provides abundant pleasure to anyone who loves nature, photography, and adventure and is an ideal place to experience Mother Nature at her wildest through dense sal and bamboo forests, wide grassy meadows, and meandering rivulets.
A Paradise for Wildlife Lovers
Kanha Kisli National Park presents an impressive range of flora and fauna. The majestic Royal Bengal Tiger, the elusive leopard, wild dog, sloth bear, and the great Indian iconic species have a shelter in this park too. Kanha is the only habitat of the rare hard ground barasingha or swamp deer, fondly known as the “jewel of Kanha.” To many sightseers, watching these stately animals feed on grass in clearings remains the highlight.
Apart from this, the number of bird species recorded at this park is more than 300, thereby giving bird watchers a high level of excitement. Vibrant species like Indian roller, crested serpent eagle and Malabar pied hornbill further add on to making it to the dream destination of any birding enthusiast. No matter whether you have just begun as an amateur photographer, or you may be a well-experienced naturalist, the opportunities to shoot scintillating wildlife moments are countless.
Apart from its wildlife, the place of Kanha Kisli is also appreciated because of the kind of attractive beauty it is home to. One might picture lush greenery standing tall along with sal trees, and rolling meadows against a perfect setting. It is also filled with crystal-clear streams and dense forests that change their hue with the season- scarring them a’s lush and vibrant in monsoon, golden and crisp in winter, and earthy and warm in summer. Every visit pays tribute to a different angle of its beauty.
Open grasslands at Kanha with hills covered with forests play spoiler to atmospheric prey animals and hunting cats on the side. For any tourist, it is like living through a documentary during each safari trip.
Kanha Kisli must be explored through the organized jeep safaris that it offers. These safaris are conducted by a trained guide or naturalist deep inside the core zones of the park, where opportunities for sighting tigers and other animals are more. Early morning safaris are a real beauty with misty forests and golden sun rays falling to appear an atmosphere of some fairy-tale world. Evening safaris show you a peek of what may be happening all around when you are asleep and give some beautiful scenes with sunset as well.
Nature trails and village walks in identified buffer zones provide visitors with the opportunity to know local culture, traditional lifestyles, and the deep connection that communities share with the forest. You are escorted by your friendly naturalist, who describes everything around you on these walks. Only a small group of visitors is taken at a time.
When to Visit
The gate of the park is open from October to June. The winter months are very pleasant particularly between November and February making this the best time to enjoy safaris. Summer months, though hot-from March to June-provide good chances of sighting tigers because other animals can often be seen near water sources.
Kanha Kisli National Park implements the eco-tourism concept. Travelers are requested to keep some simple rules such as silence during safari, no littering, and keeping the house of the wild animals. This way, travelers will ensure the fragile balance of this ecosystem.
