Home to Sher Khan, you’re sure to bump into the striped creature here, right? But only when you get here will you realise how accurate Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book is. Teeming with Barasingha {swamp deer}, you’ll find the tigers lurking around the fringes to prey on them. or simply ambling down the forest paths or even sitting across one for hours, while hapless tourist jeeps wait for the king to make his next move. There’s also leopards, sloth bears and hyenas to spot here.
When to visit: January – June. The park is closed from July to October.
Closest airport: Jabalpur {170 kms}
