Located in
the central Indian State of Madhya Pradesh, Kanha boasts of having the
largest variety of fauna than any other wildlife reserve in the country.
Often called 'Tiger Land', Kanha is situated in a horse-shoe shaped valley
bound by two districts spurs, and supports 22 species of mammals in the
central parkland and the adjoining plateaus. Over the years, animals at
Kanha have become bolder and more confident, making the park excellent
for wildlife viewing and photography.
