The Kanha national park is very popular place if you are one of the people who dream of taking a glimpse of the big cats (tigers and leopards) in India. The cat population here is amazingly good in number with more than 200 tigers and leopards, 350 barasingha (swamp deer) and 22000 spotted deer, and more than 300 species of bird.
Unfortunately, this attracts many visitors to its sal forests and meadows, but they are outnumbered by a four-legged population.
