Places Covered: Delhi - Khajuraho - Bandhavgarh - Kanha - Nagpur - Delhi
World renowned for its population of tigers, Kanha National park provides
excellent opportunities for observing these magnificient animals in the wild
on jeep drives and elephant backs.
While this lushly forested country is immediately familiar to readers of Rudyard
Kipling, it has also recently been the site of extensive research on the ecology
of tigers, deer, langour, Barasingha deer, gaur and wild dogs.
North of Kanha is Bandhavgarh National Park where the first white tiger was
captured and most of the white tigers in captivity have descended from that
tiger. In former times Bandhavgarh was the exclusive hunting preserve of the
Mharaja of Rewa. Tigers are looked for on elephant back and their sighting
is good. Past history pervades the forest in the form of immense sculpture
of the Hindu god Vishnu, caves and a fort. Both the National Parks are country's
prime Tiger Reserve under Tiger project.
Not far from Bandhavgarh are the Temples of Khajuraho. They are the Master
pieces of Temple architecture. Of the temples many have exquisitely and explicity
carved scenes from Kamasutra. Build in the 10th to 11th century by the chandella
dynasty, they are in a marvelous state of preservation.
