If you ever think of visiting Kanha and Bandhavgarh and wish to see a tiger and perhaps even go for bird watching then plan your trip in advance. Contact a naturalist list like me for tiger tour trip information and perhaps to accomapany to make your tiger sightings far exciting and adventurous.

I can assist well due to my experience. Both the Indian tiger reserves are best visited in between November and March. March is best as the grass and vegetation dries out a bit and animals congregrate near water holes and partially dry river beds. This offers best opportunity for tiger photography and photo graphing wildlife on Indian national parks. A good time for bird photography as well since foilage decreases with the onset of summer and birds congregate near remaining water sources. The best benefit is always the increased sunlight.

The most common animals seen are spotted deer, sambhar and monkey and wild boars. Hard Ground Barasingha is found only at Kanha and can be seen post winters when they arrive at Kanha Meadow and surroundings. Leopard sighting needs lot of luck although they are spread near the periphery. Their main conflict is with the bengal tiger and a shrewd spacing mechanism keeps them away from the tigers paw.
