And many more animals can be spotted over here. This park is the only habitat of the near extinct Barasingha and with a little luck you can even spot these. Spotting of animals in Kanha in their natural habitat involves a luck factor. Kanha being a Tiger Reserve one can spot tigers more regularly than in any other reserve in the country.

The best season to see wildlife is during the summers as water dries out elsewhere and animals gather in search of water around few remaining water sources. Many tourists every year visit this national park. The usual mode of sight seeing is jeep or trekking on elephants back.
