Kanha National Park hailed as one of the most beautiful tiger reserves (owing to the towering Sal) in Central India and spread across the districts of Mandla and Balaghat, Kanha is famous not only the tiger but for the endangered Hard- Ground Barasingha as well, which was close to extinction due to habitat loss in the landscape.

Due to commendable, tireless and continued efforts by the Forest Department of Kanha which included, extensive breeding programs, creation of grasslands/ meadows, water sources, monitoring and overall habitat protection, the species count which had once plummeted down to 66 is now close to 800+ in the reserve and the deer can be seen grazing in herds across the grasslands are a delight to photograph. Apart from the tiger and the Barasingha, the forest is also home to 300 species of birds, 43 species of mammals, 500 species of insects and 26 species of reptiles. Kanha is also home to trees such as Sal, Jamun, Mango, Palaash, Tendu, Mahua, Achar, Semal, Kusum etc.
