Kanha National Park
The vast, open meadows of Kanha — the park that inspired Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book — are among the most beautiful landscapes in all of Indian wildlife tourism. Tigers move through these golden grasslands like emperors, often visible from hundreds of metres away across the open ground. The sheer scale and photogenic quality of Kanha's scenery sets it apart from every other tiger reserve in India.
The Kanha and Kisli zones have the most famous meadows — request these when booking. The Mukki zone is less visited but has excellent wildlife and a more secluded feel.
