Bandhavgarh National Park
This is a small National Park; compact, yet full of game. The density of the
Tiger population at Bandhavgarh is the highest known in India.
This is also White Tiger country. These have been found in the old state of
Rewa for many years. The last known was captured by Maharajah Martand Singh
in 1951. This White Tiger, Mohun, is now stuffed and on display in the palace
of the Maharajahs of Rewa
Pench Tiger Reserve
Pench Tiger Reserve is the real land of Mowgli, "The Kipling country"
and the area of the famous ''The Jungle Book". Rudyard Kipling was awarded
the first noble prize for literature in 1907 for his brilliant work, which includes
the jungle book. There existed a real human child who was nurtured by wolves.
This child was caught by Leut. John Moor under the guidance of Col. William
Sleeman in 1831. Rudyard Kipling took the clue from Willium Sleeman's writing
on Wolf nurturing childrens and a book on "Camp life of Seoni" by
R.A. Sterendale.
Kanha National Park
Kanha's sal and bamboo forests, rolling grasslands and meandering streams stretch
over 940 sq km in dramatic natural splendour which form the core of the Kanha
Tiger Reserve created in 1974 under Project Tiger. The park is the only habitat
of the rare hardground Barasingha (Cervus Duvaceli Branderi).
This is original Kipling country of which he wrote so vividly in his Jungle
Book. The same abundance of wild life species exists today in Kanha National
Park, as it must have when Kipling roamed these parts.
