Central India, Madhya Pradesh and wildlife reserves (overview)
  • Probably the best wildlife reserves in un-spoilt Indian hinterland with rich earth and less people.
  • Eco-tourism is promoted here with the state’s rich and varied forests. Famous wildlife parks such as Kanha, Panna, Pench and Bandhavgarh. Elephant back safaris.
  • It is not just about tigers in these reserves! There are leopards, sloth beers, antelopes, wild dogs, langur monkeys, colourful birds and more.
  • Visit the stunning temples at Khajuraho, famous for their erotic sculpture.
  • The mere contemplation of the Narmada river in the west of the state is meant to absolve all your sins. Ahilya Fort overlooks the Narmada and is one of my all- time favourite places.
  • While staying on the edge of the Central Indian parks, a visit to small tribal villages allows a more off the beaten path rural Indian experience.
