In this video we will be taking you to the biggest national park of central India, Kanaha National Park & Tiger Reserve. It is the only location in India where the most abundant variety of Barasingha can be found and so does to call them as the "Jewel of Kanha". Kanha National Park was declared a reserve forest in 1879 and revalued as a wildlife sanctuary in 1933. Its position was further upgraded to a national park in 1955. Tiger Reserve in 1973.
