When we visited Pench National Park in January 2009, we almost swore that the jungle trips are a must in life! They must happen at least once a year. So to keep up this promise and to start the 2010 on a refreshing note, we planned to visit Kanha National Park situated in Madhya Pradesh.
Spread over 1,945 square kilometers, this picturesque national park came into existence in 1955 by a special law. Since then it has dedicated itself in becoming an ideal home for both predators and preys. The lush Sal and Bamboo forests, grassy meadows and ravines of Kanha homes uncountable wild life species. And we were there to spot the prime one, the Royal Bengal Tiger. No, I am not at all underestimating the beauty and wide variety of the wild life you can find in Kanha. But after all, watching a tiger in its natural habitat is a treat. (All those who have seen tigers only in zoos, I feel sorry for you! Honestly!!)
And the fact that deserves special mention here is that this national park (or jungle that it is) was the inspiration behind Rudyard Kipling’s unforgettable classic The Jungle Book! Few may debate if it was Kanha or Pench. But guys, trust me, this jungle is an eternal inspiration from the mother Earth to whatever that is alive.
