Bandhavgarh National Park
Bandhavgarh
used to be the hunting reserve of the royal family of Rewa, though its history
goes back two millennia. In caves you can still see paintings by the ancients.
It is a retreat where history and nature meet.
Covering about 450 sq km, about half the park comprises sal forests, while
mixed forests are found in the higher reaches of the hills. Stretches of bamboo
and grasslands extend to the north. The main viewing area is still in the
core of the Park with its 32 picturesque, wooded hills. An ancient fort up
on a precipice, 800 metres high, dominates the Park.
This is where the famous white tigers of Rewa were discovered. Also to be
seen here are nilgai, chousingha, chital, chinkara, wild boar, foxes, jackals,
the jungle cat, ratel, hyena, porcupine, the rhesus macaque and the black-faced
langur. About 150 species of birds are also found here and include the migratory
birds that arrive in winter like the steppe eagle and various water-birds.

Corbett National Park
Nestling
in the foothils of the Himalayas, the tiger reserve extends over an area of
1200 sq. km. The Ramganga River flows through the park and little forest streams
tumble through the ravines. While dense stands of sal cloak the higher ridges,
mixed deciduous forests are found throughout the park.
"Project Tiger" was launched here in 1973. In addition to tigers,
leopards and elephants, four species of deer - hog deer, sambar, chital and
barking deer - are found here. Besides these, Corbett is a haven for 50 mammals,
580 kinds of birds and 25 reptile species. Basking along the banks of the Ramganga
are the fish-eating gharial and the mugger or marsh crocodile. The river is
rich in the golden mahaseer - although angling is not permitted inside the National
Park.
