 Located in the heart of India, Madhya Pradesh has long been known for its greenery, forests and wildlife.
But little do people know of places such as Kanha, which are, infact, the true representatives of the state in terms of wildlife and greenery
If you are an avid nature-lover and a wildlife enthusiast looking for excitement, then Kanha has all the ingredients of an ideal getaway.
The lowland forest is a mixture of sal (shorea robusta) and other mixed forest trees, interspersed with meadows.
Kanha Tiger Reserve abounds in meadows or maidans which are basically open grasslands that have sprung up in fields of abundant villages, evacuated to make way for the animals. Kanha meadow is one such example.
