Kanha is in Madhya Pradesh (five hours drive from Jabalpur) has sometimes been called the N'Gorongoro of India.
The simile is apt, albeit Kanha is far greener and its cordon of hills far more densely wooded. Herds of the Kanha miscellany,
the axis deer (Chital), the Swamp deer (Barasingha), the Blackbuck (Hiran), the wild pig and occasionally the Gaur, throng
the central park land of the valley, providing the basis for the comparison with N'Gorongoro. With its confiding herds and
relatively tolerant predators, Kanha offers an almost unrivaled scope to a keen tourist of Indian wildlife. The forests of
the Banjar Valley and the Halon valley, respectively form Kanha's Western and Eastern halves, and are famous for their deer
and Tiger.
The Chosen Location to Stay is a Luxury Resort
located at Khatia Side of Kanha (M.P., India). It is spread over 5 acres and borders Banjar River. It has 25 AC rooms with
Fresco Bathing Facilities & a small private Garden. The resort also boasts of a large & beautifully designed swimming
pool, Play area for Air hockey, Basket Ball & Volley Ball Court, Gym, Jaquzzi, 2 Pvt. Massage rooms, Meditation &
yoga rooms, fully qualified ayurvedic doctors for consultancy & remedies & Bicycle hire for short rides within and
outside the resort.
