Kanha National Park, also known as Kanha Tiger Reserve, is one of India's largest wildlife sanctuaries and the biggest national park in Madhya Pradesh. The present sanctuary was once split into Hallon (250 sq. km) and Banjar (300 sq. km). Kanha was created on 1 June 1955 and declared a tiger reserve in 1973 — today it spans 940 sq. km across Mandla and Balaghat districts.
The park shelters Royal Bengal tigers, sloth bears, leopards, barasingha, and wild dogs. Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book drew inspiration from forests including Kanha. For centuries the Gond dynasty governed this land; Baiga and Gond tribes shaped the forest long before modern conservation began in 1862.
One of the finest tiger reserves in India, the Kanha landscape is renowned worldwide for its rich flora and fauna — above all, the iconic Royal Bengal tiger. The reserve is named after the famous Kanha Tiger Reserve at the heart of a much larger ecological landscape.
This landscape of around 3,500 sq. km includes Kanha core and buffer zones, Phen Wildlife Sanctuary, and ecological corridors linking Pench, Achanakmar, and Nagzira. Kanha Tiger Reserve remains the source of genealogy for many tigers spread across this vast central Indian forest belt.
