The sounds and scenes of the Madhya Pradesh jungles hold a special place in the heart of every wildlife enthusiasts. The large expanse of land prospers with various species of flora and fauna owing to its rugged terrain adorned with vast plains on one side, lush green forests on the other sides and crystal clear streams occasionally flowing in between. This natural setting makes it a perfect habitat for thriving wildlife and which in turn promotes Madhya Pradesh tourism.

Madhya Pradesh can be proudly called as the homeland for wildlife parks, tiger reserves and sanctuaries. Presently there are 9 national parks, 6 Tiger reserves and 25 sanctuaries in the state, sheltering some of the most uncommon species of birds and animals. These protected areas also conserve endangered animals like Tigers.

If you are eager to have an unforgettable wildlife adventure, Madhya Pradesh is your ideal wildlife destination for sure! Let us look at the popular wildlife destinations that can set your heart racing immediately!

  1. Kanha National Park- With an extent of almost 940 sq km, there is no wonder why Kanha National Park is also known as the largest national park in Madhya Pradesh. The park is in the close vicinity of the plateau of Bamhnidadar and is a common meeting ground for a large flock of birds. Apart from that, it also offers its visitors a captivating view of the sunset. The pride of this national park lies in having the Barasingha (swamp deer) back from being nearly extinct. Also, the park has a popular Tiger reserve where the tigers roam around unhindered and undisturbed. Other animals to spot are jackals, foxes, leopards, wild cats and so on.
  • Bandhavgarh National Park– Although this is not as large as Kanha, it has the highest population of Royal Bengal Tigers! Located in the Vindhya Hills of the Umaria district, this park is ideal for a riveting safari ride with the Tigers by your side. Feeling like you are in some wildlife adventure movie? that’s right. The park is a special favorite spot for all animal lovers. The smell and sound of the jungle will remind you of Mowgli and the characters! Apart from spotting tigers, you can also sight sloth bear, deer, leopards and more than 250 species of birds here.
  • Satpura National Park- This is a smaller park than the previous two ones but the natural setting will automatically lure you to visit here. Dhoopgarh is the highest peak and you are sure to sight tigers, leopards, wild dogs, bison and various other creatures. Apart from safari rides, you can also go for bird-watching, boating or canoeing.
  • Pench National Park- The park gets its name from the Pench river that flows across the terrain of the park. Animals like wild boar, striped hyena, barking deer and other varied animals comprise the wildlife population of this park. Visiting Pench will make you realize why author Rudyard Kipling chose this park as an inspiration for ‘Jungle Book’ and the various animal characters in the story. You will also get entertained by watching more than 280 species of birds in this park.

Conclusion– By now, you must have mentally transported to these parks already, after reading about the parks. The wild roars, the musty smell of the forests, the sound of silence interspersed with the chirpping of the birds, will provide you the perfect ambiance for experiencing the best safari ride in this state.

Places To See in Orchha, Madhya Pradesh

Among the various tourist places in Madhya Pradesh, Orccha stands out for many reasons. The once upon a time historical capital of the Bundela Rajput Kings, the city has a story to say in every nook and cranny. The main medium through which the history of the city is spoken out to its tourists is … Continue reading “Places To See in Orchha, Madhya Pradesh”

Among the various tourist places in Madhya Pradesh, Orccha stands out for many reasons. The once upon a time historical capital of the Bundela Rajput Kings, the city has a story to say in every nook and cranny. The main medium through which the history of the city is spoken out to its tourists is its ancient monuments and forts; one can delve into India’s rich past of glorious times by simply visiting these places.
 
Besides, Orchha is a city that is resplendent with hills and lush greenery, where you can capture Nature in her full mirth and exuberance. So before you plan a trip to this historic wonderland, here are some of the popular must-visit tourist spots in Orchha:
 

  • Jhansi Fort- You must have heard the popular tale of the fierce ‘Jhansi ki Rani’ in Indian history. This fort is now a remnant of the times when the erstwhile heroine fought some of the most dangerous battles. It was built nearly four centuries ago and occupies an area about 49 acres. The fort stands proudly as an example of intelligent architecture and is regarded as one of the best protected areas in India. There is also a museum inside this fort that has some spectacular sculptures giving an informative insight about Bundelkhand’s history.
     
  • Chaturbhuj temple- Let us shift to the spiritual aspect of Orchha in the olden times. Built in the 17th century by the Bundela Rajput kings, this temple is a brilliant piece of architecture that is no less than a fort! The temple is of an impressive height with the topmost floor giving you a fabulous view of the entire city of Orchha.
  • Orchha fort- When you will first see this fort, you may initially think it to be a replica of the Edinburgh Castle in UK! But that is not true; it is yet another popular fort in Orchha that is breathtakingly beautiful. Situated on the Betwa River, this magnificent structure has many temples and palaces inside it. The main component parts of this fort are the Raj Mahal, Jahangir Mahal and Rai Parveen Mahal. Each of these Mahals has its own specialty- If asked which one is the most historic monument in the history of forts in Orccha, Raj Mahal is the clear winner! Rai Parveen Mahal is the palace that was dedicated to a woman named Rai Parveen; King Indramani was so allured to her charm and beauty that he built this palace in her name, almost like the story behind Taj Mahal (Shah Jahan built it for Mumtaz). Jahangir Mahal is especially noted for its balconies and the enticing view of Orchha from them.
  • Orchha wildlife sanctuary- Like any other sanctuary, Orchha wildlife sanctuary is also a reserve, sheltering various species of animals and birds. Besides, this sanctuary is also one of the most popular tourist spots in Orchha. Built in 1994, animals like sloth bear, langur, tiger, blue bull and others find peaceful shelter here. This place is also home to more than 200 species of birds, including migratory birds like black swan, kingfisher, quail and many more. Apart from being blessed with abundant flora and fauna, the beauty of Orchha wildlife sanctuary lies in the flowing waters of River Betwa, that completes the beauty of this place.We recommend an evening visit here as the scenic beauty of the sunn setting down behind the Chattris ( cenotaphs ) is a photographer’s delight.
  • Chattris- Chattris are actually cenotaphs or opulent tombs of the earlier Indian kings. The chattris don’t look like any ordinary tombs so at your first glance, you might mistake it as any other royal Orchha fort! These royal structures are many in number and are built on the banks of Betwa. You can get the best view of the Chattris and gaze at their beauty, if you stand on the bridge that is on the opposite side of the river.
     
    Conclusion- Connect with i4u Travel Services,the Madhya Pradesh Tourism specialist for your holiday requirements for Orchha.

This one of the new national parks that has been recently added to Madhya Pradesh’s tiger tourism sites. If you are fond of being surrounded by greeneries with beautiful birds and occasional visits of animals, Parisili should be your first spot in your places-to-visit list.

  • Rewa- Not far from Parisili, Rewa is one of the most popular historical cities in Madhya Pradesh. It is an erstwhile princely state that was ruled by the Baghela dynasty and later the British captured it and called it Baghelkhand Agency. As you walk in Rewa, you will be greeted by the old ruins of the erstwhile times; there are many old museums with valuable treasures on display. What makes Rewa special is not because of its historical connection but the discovery of the White Tiger called Mohan that was a captive of the woods in this place.

  • Govindgarh- Although this place is completely in ruins, you will be thrilled to pay a short visit here. The old world charm will fascinate you as you walk through this place. Moreover, there is a little board that mentions that the White Tiger, Mohan, was captured and kept here. What adds more beauty to this ruined place is the lake as well as the temples that surround Govindgarh. Mere words are not sufficient to describe the timeless beauty of this place and this is why you must visit this place for sure!

  • Raneh Falls and Ken Gharial Sanctuary- Beware! This can become the best part of your trip. You will be stupified to see the beauty of the rock formations and also the charming waterfall formed by River Ken. One more stunning feature of this river is that it also forms a canyon of 98 feet depth and 5 kilometers long with multicolored (grey, ochre, red and pink) granite rocks. Nearby to River Ken, there is Ken Gharial Sanctuary where gharials and crocodiles are conserved. You can spot these reptiles basking in the sun or floating in the river and also catch a glimpse of the Sambhar deer as well.

Conclusion- Who said you need to travel to foreign locations to have a road trip like the ones shown in the movie? Not at all! You can have a memorable road trip in India (Madhya Pradesh) itself. All you need is to find a reliable Madhya Pradesh tour agency, avail the right tour package and then hop on your car and live your dream of enjoying a road trip with your near and dear ones.
