Tiger Trails of India


Tiger is one species that has always managed to startled people through its valiant presence in the jungles. Wrapped in its signature orange fur and black stripes, Tiger is the epitome of beauty, royalty, and supremacy. Its sudden thunderous roar is enough to send a wave of tremor in the forest. There was a time when the turf of these majestic cats stretched from the swathes of Iran to the mountainous terrain of Russia. But the ceaseless loss of habitation has taken a toll on tigers resulting in the extinction of many of their sub-species including Caspian Tigers, Javan Tigers, Bali Tigers and confining the remaining sub-species to the scattered pockets of East and South East Asian Countries. India is one such nation that has gained global recognition for having the highest concentration of Bengal Tigers. From mangrove jungle to riverine sanctuaries and deciduous national parks, there is hardly any forest left in India which does not illustrate the valor of these wild cats.




The vast grasslands of Bandhavgarh National Park was once a formidable kingdom of Charger and Sita - The second most photographed tigers in the world. While Sita was regarded as the goddess of yesteryears, Charger was known to bear an unusually aggressive temperament towards Tourists, Jeep Safaris and Elephants, one major reason why he was anointed with such a peculiar name. They were very compassionate about each other, not only would they share their kill they would also guard their territory against other big cats. Today the forest is ruled by the progeny of these magnificent cats.




251 km from Bandhavgarh lies yet another exalting kingdom of Big Cats. Surrounded by the Sal forest, Savannah grassland, and meandering rivers, Kanha National Park is a designated wildlife Sanctuary globally renowned for protecting the habitat of Bengal Tigers and other wildlife. While traversing the park there are very high chances to come across Kanha's beloved tiger 'Munna'. He is famously identified with the letters C A T spelled on his forehead. His preference to walk along the dirt track to his comfort has influenced Kanha's famous adage 'Road hi Road'. Besides Munna, the park also offer fleeting glimpse of the other bold and demeanor tigers including Bheema, Nak-kata, Neelam and many more.



Pench National Park completes the circle of the spectacular tiger circuit of Central India. Spread across the Satpura region, the park rose to fame for inspiring the backdrop of Rudyard Kipling's popular book 'The Jungle Book'. With an array of mammals and birds can be spotted in its grassy patches and shrub cover, the place also gives you an insight into the secret life of Collarwali- the queen of Pench forest. As a cub, she was regularly spotted with her non-collard mother Barimada. The tigress is popular for the unique hunting skills she employs while preying. Recognized through her natural collars on which she is named, Collarwali is also famous amongst the wildlife enthusiasts for giving birth to the 'Famous Five'.
