Keoladeo Ghana National Park, one of the finest water-bird sanctuaries in
the world. The Maharaja of Bharatpur artificially created the lake and
wetland in the 19th century. By building small dykes and dams and diverting
water from an irrigation canal, he converted this low-lying area into a fine
wild fowl shooting preserve. In a few years, the new wetland surrounded by
marginal forests was able to support thousands of water birds. Commonly
referred to as Bharatpur, the Park is a delight for bird watchers. Over 375
species of birds are found here and raised paths, camouflaged by babul trees
and undergrowth make viewing easy. A quiet ride by boat in the early hours
of the morning is also unforgettable experience. The cacophony is
unbelievable as painted storks, open bills, spoonbills, egrets, cormorants,
white ibis and multitudes of others, tend their young. Jacanas with their
iridescent colors and elegant tail feathers and purple moorhen can be seen
delicately treading over the floating vegetation. Reach and check in at the

Bandavgarh is a new National Park with a very long history. Set among the
Vindhya hills of Madhya Pradesh with an area of 168sq miles (437sq km) it
contains a wide variety of habitats and a high density of game, including a
large number of Tigers. This is also the White tiger country. These have
been found in the old state of Rewa for Many years. Maharaja Martand Singh
captured the last known in 1951. This white Tiger, Mohun is now stuffed and
on display in the Palace of Maharaja of Rewa. Prior to becoming a National
Park, the forests around Bandavgarh had long been maintained as a Shikargah,
or game preserve of the Maharaja of Rewa. The Maharaja and his guests
carried out hunting - otherwise the wildlife was well protected. It was
considered a good omen for Maharaja of Rewa to shoot 109 tigers. His
Highness Maharaja Venkat Raman Singh shot 111 Tigers by 1914. Bandavgarh is
justifiably famous for its Tigers, but it has a wide range of other game.
The undergrowth is not as dense as in some northern terai forests, but the
best time to see the park inhabitants is still the summer months when water
becomes more scarce and the undergrowth dies back. Check in at the resort

National Park is a tiger reserve that extends over an area of over 940
square km. A horseshoe shaped valley bounded by the spurs of the Mekal
presents an interesting topography. Steep rocky escarpments along the edges
offer breathtaking views of the valley. Realizing the danger on the Tiger
population in the country, the Government started the "Project Tiger"
at Kanha and in 1974 the area was declared a Tiger reserve. The park is also
the habitat of the high ground Barasingha. In 1930s, the Kanha area was
divided into two sanctuaries - Hallon and Banjar of 250kms to 300kms each.
Though one of these was subsequently disbanded .The area remained a
protected one until 1947. Depletion of the tiger population in the year that
followed led to the area being made an absolute sanctuary in 1952. Reach in
