The park sprawls across the revenue districts of Mandala and Kalaghat, fencing a huge expanse of land. As per records, the area was declared as a reserve forest in 1879 and later, it was re-christened as a wildlife reserve in 1933. In 1955, Kanha got promoted to the level of a national park and it has continued to garner significant attention since then.

Covering a diameter of 940 sq km in the Maikal range of the hills, Kanha amalgamates the buffer and core zone together. With a total area of 1945 sq km, Kanha Tiger Reserve avows everyone with its breathtaking magnificence!

A royal home to a range of exquisite wildlife!

The story of this vivacious land has been an inspiration to many writers like Rudyard Kipling who wrote his famous 'The Jungle Book' on the forest. In fact, many filmmakers have been influenced by the exceptional beauty of the forest like Soham Shah, who produced 'Kaal' after incorporating the forest as a part of his script. So if you are enamoured by the attractions of this place, mark your long holidays on the calender and plan a trip soon!
