Keoladeo Ghana National Park
Breakfast at hotel. Proceed to Bharatpur
Just 176 km from Delhi is a very special wilderness -
the Keoladeo Ghana National Park, one of the finest
water-bird sanctuaries in the world. The Maharaja of
Bharatpur artificially created the lake and wetland in
the 19th century. By building small dykes and dams and
diverting water from an irrigation canal, he converted
this low-lying area into a fine wild fowl shooting
preserve. In a few years, the new wetland surrounded
by marginal forests was able to support thousands of
water birds.
Commonly referred to as Bharatpur, the Park is a
delight for bird watchers. Over 375 species of birds
are found here and raised paths, camouflaged by babul
trees and undergrowth make viewing easy. A quiet ride
by boat in the early hours of the morning is also
unforgettable experience. The cacophony is
unbelievable as painted storks, open bills,
spoonbills, egrets, cormorants, white ibis and
multitudes of others, tend their young. Jacanas with
their iridescent colors and elegant tail feath ers
and purple moorhen can be seen delicately treading
over the floating vegetation
Reach and check in at the hotel. Proceed on RICKSHAW

Package............
 Bandavgarh
is a new National Park with a very long history. Set
among the Vindhya hills of Madhya Pradesh with an area
of 168sq miles (437sq km) it contains a wide variety
of habitats and a high density of game, including a
large number of Tigers. This is also the White tiger
country. These have been found in the old state of
Rewa for Many years. Maharaja Martand Singh captured
the last known in 1951. This white Tiger, Mohun is now
stuffed and on display in the Palace of Maharaja of
Rewa. Prior to becoming a National Park, the forests
around Bandavgarh had long been maintained as a
Shikargah, or game preserve of the Maharaja of Rewa.
The Maharaja and his guests carried out hunting -
otherwise the wildlife was well protected. It was
considered a good omen for Maharaja of Rewa to shoot
109 tigers. His Highness Maharaja Venkat Raman Singh
shot 111 Tigers by 1914.
Bandavgarh is justifiably famous for its Tigers, but
it has a wide range of other game. The undergrowth is
not as dense as in some northern terai forests, but
the best time to see the park inhabitants is still the
summer months when water becomes more scarce and the
undergrowth dies back
Check in at the resort and overnight will be at
Bandavgarh.

This is the place that has been described by RUDYARD
KIPLING in his great book "The Jungle Book". Located
in the Mandla district of Madhya Pradesh, Kanha
National Park is a tiger reserve that extends over an
area of over 940 square km. A horseshoe shaped valley
bounded by the spurs of the Mekal presents an
interesting topography. Steep rocky escarpments along
the edges offer breathtaking views of the valley.
Realizing the danger on the Tiger population in the
country, the Government started the "Project Tiger" at
Kanha and in 1974 the area was declared a Tiger
reserve. The park is also the habitat of the high
ground Barasingha.
In 1930s, the Kanha area was divided into two
sanctuaries - Hallon and Banjar of 250kms to 300kms
each. Though one of these was subsequently disbanded
.The area remained a protected one until 1947.
Depletion of the tiger population in the year that
followed led to the area being made an absolute
sanctuary in 1952
