Kanha National Park is the location of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book. It's in a remote area of Madhya Pradesh and is denser forest ("jungle") than Bandhavgarh. The tigers were just as elusive, but Kanha has even more diversity of mammals and birds.
 |
| Since animals and birds tend to be most active at dawn and sunset, we started in the jeeps before sunrise. |
 |
| On the way between the park and our resort hotel, we drove through the midst of lush agricultural lands. |
 |
| This is typical of the several villages we also drove through. Cattle live in the street-side structures; homes are on the other side of an interior courtyard. Not all the villages were electrified, but obviously this one was. |
 |
| One of our adventures was to ford a river in the jeep. We had made a few trips across small streams, but nothing like this river. It was even more exciting fording the river in total darkness on our return trip. |
 |
| Obviously, the river is quite shallow, but it was still unnerving to be driving through so much water. |
 |
| The grasses in the meadows were among the most beautiful I have ever seen. |

| Just after breakfast on our last morning. No safari, because we had a 6.5 hour drive to the airport. |
