Kanha Tiger Reserve is spread over an area of 1,949 sq km (940 sq km of core area and 1,009 sq km of buffer zone), making it one of the best habitats for tigers in India (the current dominant male, Munna, is easily recognized by a symbol on his forehead that reads – "CAT"). The park is situated in the Central Indian Highlands, which are part of the extensive tableland that forms India’s main peninsula. The highlands once were continuous forests and accounted for a significant part of the country’s wilderness areas and wildlife habitats. Today, these forests have become fragmented and survive in parks such as Panna, Bandhavgarh, Kanha, Pench and Sanjay.

"Great trip. Beautiful hotel. Wonderful service. We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Barahi Lodge in october. The lodges are beautiful, very comfortable and the service from all the staff was outstanding. The hotel sits on the river bank opposite the wildlife reserve. You are looked after by a naturalist who organises your trips - safari, boat, walks into the jungle and ensures that you have a good time. We were lucky to see Rhino, crocodile, monkeys, deer and, in the distance, tigers ( unusual and very lucky). The road to Chitwan from Pokhara is difficult but it was well worth the journey. We flew back from Bharatpur (about 1 hour from the lodge) to Kathmandu and can recommend that"
