The State animal of Madhya Pradesh - Hard Ground Barasingha is found exclusively in Kanha Tiger Reserve. Through holistic conservation approach and effective management practices, the Tiger Reserve has seen rise in population of this symbolic deer species which was once on the verge of extinction from the Earth.
The lush green forests of Kanha, composed majorly of Sal (Shorea robusta) and other mixed forest trees, supports the growth of rich and varied flora and fauna.
And in the Kanha Tiger Reserve lies the source of the geneology of the most tigers spread over this landscape. Speaking generally, for immediate practical purpose, this landscape of around 3500 square kilometre, currently incorporates the Kanha core, the Kanha Buffer, the Phen Wildlife Sanctuary, parts of ecological corridors (Kanha-Pench, Kanha-Achanakmar, and Kanha-Bawegaon-Nagzira), and areas under different forest divisions contiguous to the Kanha Tiger Reserve. Currently there are five subspecies of this super cat. The world has already lost four of the nine subspecies of this charismatic species, further restricting its world population generally.
The best time to visit the Reserve is 15 Oct to 30 June.
