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.

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.

This is the place that has been described by RUDYARD KIPLING in his great
book "The Jungle Book". Located 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 an absolute
sanctuary in 1952.
