Just 176 km from Delhi is a very special wilderness - the 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.

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 the Mandla district of Madhya Pradesh, Kanha 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
