Kanha's sal and bamboo forests,
rolling grasslands and meanderingstreams stretch
over 940 sq km in dramatic natural splendour
which form the core of the Kanha Tiger Reserve
created in 1974 under Project Tiger. The park
is the only habitat of the rare hardground Barasingha
(Cervus Duvaceli Branderi). By a special statute
in 1955, Kanha National Park came into being.
Since then, a series of stringent conservation
programmes for the protection of the park's
flora and fauna has given Kanha its deserved
reputation for being one of the finest and best
administered National Parks in Asia, an irresistible
attraction for all wildlife lovers and a true
haven for its animal and avian population
