Over 200 species of Birds abound in the Park.(Checklist).

Your Friend, Philosopher and guide, the Mahout points out the signs along the way-the pugmarks, the drag of a kill-and signals you to be quiet and alert. And you are well on your way to a rendezvous with the Tiger. Over grassy glades, undulating hills, and steep rocky slopes of Kanha you travel in a Jeep or on the back of an Elephant. Catch a glimpse of the jewel of Kanha, the swamp deer(Barasingha), as it leisurely wallows amongst the water lilies in te Pond.Let your heart leap up at a bounding Chital.Or look a leopard in the eyes.But there's nothing to beat coming face to face with a Tiger.

Suddenly the Forest is still with the Sounds of Silence.Except for the herd of Barasingha, nothing moves. The Mahout's raised hand signals the start of the Drama. And then,lo! Behold him in all his orange and black splendour! The Tiger, King of Kanha, leaps out from the foliage and sets off in pusuit of a barasingha. The Chase is on. The herd has scattered. The Tiger is after his prey.And you are one of the priviliged few to watch the live drama.
