Bandhavgarh National Park :
A wildlife retreat where history and nature meet, Bandhavgarh is too far
away from Kanha. Set amidst the Vindhyan ranges, the park has a series
of ridges running through it. This park was the former hunting preserve
of the Maharaja of Rewa and at present is a famous natural hub for White
Tigers.
Ranthambore National Park :
Situated in Eastern Rajasthan, where the Aravali Hill ranges and the
Vindhyan plateau meet, the Ranthambhore National Park was once the
hunting preserve of the Maharajas of Jaipur. The rivers Chambal in the
South and Banas in the North bound the Ranthambore National Park.
Keoladeo Ghana National Park :
Keoladeo Ghana National Park, one of the finest water-bird sanctuaries
in the world. The 28.73 sq km lake and wetland was artificially created
by the Maharaja of Bharatpur in the 19th century. By building small
dykes and dams and diverting water from an irrigation canal, he
converted this low lying area into a fine wild fowl shooting preserve.
Sariska Wildlife :
Sariska in Rajasthan, located just 200 kms from Delhi, is one of the
closest National Parks to the capital. Sculpted out of the Aravalli
hills, it spreads over 800-sq kms and is home to the majestic tiger,
deer, Nilgai, partridges, wild boar, fox, gaur, sambar, chital, hyena,
and the four-horned antelope. The dry deciduous forest are a perfect
home to the jungle cat and the Siliserh Lake which lies at the edge of
the Park is the watering holes that has preserved the natural habitat of
the region, despite it being close to the desert.
Desert National Sanctuary :
The Desert National Park is an excellent example of the ecosystem of the
Thar desert and its diverse fauna. Sand dunes form around 20% of the
Park. The major landform consists of craggy rocks and compact salt lake
bottoms, intermedial areas and fixed dunes which are quite suitable for
the chinkara to move at high speed. The blackbuck is another common
antelope of this region. Its other notable inhabitants are the desert
fox, Bengal fox, wolf and desert cat.
Kumbhalgarh Sanctuary :

like leopards, hyena, sloth bear, wolf, jackal, jungle cat, hare, nilgai
and the four horned antelope all of which makes Kumbhalgarh any wildlife
enthusiasts dream come true.

here, but the speciality of the Abu sanctuary is the grey jungle fowl.

other inhabitants here. A variety of fauna including highly rare,
threatened and endangered species are found in this sanctuary.
