Kanha, India

Crave the thrill of spotting a wild tiger? Visit Kanha National Park, the inspiration for Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book. This lush sanctuary boasts sal and bamboo forests, grassy meadows, and picturesque hills. One of Asia's best-maintained parks, Kanha is home to barking deer, black buck, sloth bears, pythons, and the endangered Barasingha. The diverse birdlife includes storks, herons, peafowl, and more. Open meadows, reminiscent of African savannahs, set the stage for tigers, dholes, and leopards hunting chital, sambar, and wild boars. Step into Kanha and experience the untamed rhythm of nature in this remarkable park.

Anosh Koppiker on the Spirit of Kanha Tiger Reserve

Kanha, to me, is the embodiment of scale and silence. The sal trees here can grow over 30 meters tall, creating cathedral-like canopies that leave you humbled. These are what I call the “Winter Forests of India”—still, stoic, and incredibly alive. Here, the tiger doesn’t need to announce its presence; it could be walking just meters away, hidden in plain sight. There’s a spiritual quality to Kanha. It's a place where nature reminds you just how small—and lucky—you are.
