Animal Life:
This small but well maintained kingdom of the king of the forest is a great site for tour and travel in India. Apart from the tiger, leopard, wolf, wild dog, hyena, caracal and smaller wild cats are abundantly seen here. The sloth bear finds home in the caves of the rocky slopes and quiet valleys. The largest deer available in the country, the sambar is found in huge herds. The other two categories of deer are chital and chowsingha. Nilgai and chinkara can easily be seen on the borders of the park. Different kinds of snakes besides python are seen here in large numbers.
Birds:
Indian tourism has become famous because of the variety of migratory birds that go there from different countries due to the onset of the cruel months of winter in those nations. The forests are dressed by a range of almost 200 species of birds. Starting from the white necked stork, honey buzzard, bareheaded goose, blossom headed parakeet, King Vulture, slaty headed scimitar babbler to the paradise flycatcher, everything is available here.
Plant Life:
The mixed vegetation that is found here begins at Cape Comorin in South India and Upper Indo Gangetic Plain. It is the meeting point of tropical and subtropical dry broad leaf forest belt. It is also known as the northern tip of the teak forests and eastern pint of kardhai. The park has an inundated physical feature. It is adjacent to the Ken Gharial Wildlife Sanctuary and both are filled with streams and waterfalls. The wild animals enjoy a lot in the open woodlands and open grasslands. The tall elephant grasses and thorny woodlands are really something they like.
The exclusive population of the forest is best seen during the heat of the summer months when the animals come out to drink water. There are many tour packages in India that provide a vivid view of the park. Since it is close to the Khajuraho town it is visited by the tourists. It is very easy to reach the place from the historical site. It is also the nearest airport from the town apart from being the nearest bus terminus. From Madla one can also hire road transport and board buses to reach the park. Panna can be reached by road by availing national highways passing through Agra, Gwalior, Jhansi, Bamitha and Madla.
In India, there are many more reserved forests like the Nagarhole National Park and the Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary.
