Bharatpur National Park (Bird Sanctuary) by Riksho.
Bharatpur
National Park
- This magnificent bird haven in actual came into being
paradoxically as a duck shooting preserve for Maharaja Suraj
Mull of Bharatpur. He transformed the shallow depression formed
by the confluence of River Gambhir and River Banganga into a
reservoir by damming the rainwater in monsoons. Flooding of
water created shallow wetland ecosystem causing it to be a
perfect habitat for an astounding variety of birds. The park
that was a hunting preserve for the Maharaja and the British
continued to be so till 1964, after which the hunting was
banned. A forestation policy of planting acacias was vigorously
followed. However the ecosystem at the Park continues to be
fragile due to pressures of tourism and need for water from
surrounding villages. However the environmentalists won the day
in 1985 when UNESCO listed it as World Heritage site and earlier
in 1982 it was declared as National Park. And, today the Park is
recognized as the most important breeding and feed grounds for
the birds in the world. Some species are still endangered and
especially the Siberian crane. Visitors are advised to maintain
low noise level and avoid littering the park.

site was built by Shah Jahan between ad 1632 and 1653 as the
final resting place of his favourite wife Arjumand Bano Begum

Day 05.
Jabalpur / Kanha:
Distance: 170 km Time: 4 Hours
Arrive in
Jabalpur and leave for Kanha. Arrive & check In to the Hotel.
Rest day free for relax.
Kanha
has sometimes been called the N'Gorongoro of India. The simile
is apt, albeit Kanha is far greener and its cordon of hills far
more densely wooded. Unlike Tanzania's N'Gorongoro, the Kanha
valley is not a volcanic crater, though the enclosing hills are
a consequence of geologically ancient volcanic activity. The
horseshoe-shaped Kanha valley, which accounts for nearly a third
and the oldest part of the Kanha National Park, is bound by two
distant spurs emanating from the main Mekal ridge, forming its
southern rim. The spurs, in their gently tapering traverse,
nearly close in the north leaving but a narrow opening for the
meandering Sulkum or Surpan river, the valley's main drainage.
Herds of the Kanha miscellany, the axis deer (chital), the swamp
deer (barasingha), the blackbuck (hiran), the wild pig and
occasionally the gaur, throng the central parkland of the
valley, providing the basis for the comparison with N'Gorongoro.
With its confiding herds and relatively tolerant predators,
Kanha offers an almost unrivaled scope to a keen photographer of
Indian wildlife.
The raw beauty of the Kanha wilderness is satisfying because a
comparison of the condition of the forests outside with that of
those inside is a strong pointer to "conservation in action" in
the Park. Kanha's diverse miscellany of mammal and bird life is
without many parallels, because so much is seen so well in so
short a time. Yet Kanha is better known as the best place in the
world to see tigers. Sighting tigers on drives here is not
uncommon, but seeing and photographing tigers from elephant
back, sometimes after a thrilling systematic track, is a
memorable experience. Elephants usually go out very early in the
morning for tiger tracking from Kisli, Kanha or Mukki. An
elephant accommodates up to 4 persons besides the mahout.

stopped at Bandhavgarh on his way back to his homeland after
defeating the demon king Ravana of Lanka. Two monkey architects,
who had engineered a bridge between the isle of Lanka and the
mainland, are said to have built Bandhavgarh's fort. Later Rama
handed it over to his brother Lakshmana who became known as
bandhavdhish, "the lord of the fort" - a title still used by the
present "lord of the fort," the former Maharaja of Rewa.
Lakshmana is the particular god of the fort and is regularly
worshiped in a temple there. In the Bandhavgarh you can also
