Best national parks in Madhya Pradesh

Madhya Pradesh calls itself the tiger state, with more tigers than any other in India. Kanha, the landscape that inspired Kipling’s Jungle Book, is sal forest and open meadow with good tiger sightings and the only population of hard-ground barasingha deer. Panna, near the temples of Khajuraho, lost all its tigers by 2009 and rebuilt the population through reintroduction, a rare conservation success, along the Ken river gorge. Satpura is the unusual one, allowing walking, canoe and night safaris as well as jeeps, with sloth bears and leopards more likely than tigers.
