Hope you will enjoy your time.

Thanks.
I'll be doing Kahna and Bandhavgarh, I'm hoping for some good sightings. I'll definitely try my luck in the Mukki Zone at Kahna.

kanha and pench have the biggest central indian tigers. Hope you are lucky enough to spot some of them.

Madhya Pradesh has their fair share of big males but over the years and since i have been in the debate (early 2007) i have noticed that big males were fairly common all around Central India, for example in Tadoba's golden days. (Late 2010 - 2013) 4 large resident males were present in the tourism zone alone. Wagdoh, Katezari, Shivaji and Saturn aka Namdev. in Bandhavgarh. there was Bamera, Bokha, B2, Mukunda and Jobhi. Nagzira had Shamsher and Dendu. Panna side had M62, Madla, Hairyfoot and Brokentooth and probably the heaviest average. Dr Raghu chundawat was fairly impressed with the sizes of tigers that he saw while he was in Panna. after the Madla/Hairyfoot era. M62 got a special shoutout from wildlife institute of india team when they spotted him in camera traps. he was an absolute monster. Melghat is well known for large males, Satpuda in MP has the famous bear killer and several big males. when Pench Mh got properly managed, tourists photographed some of the biggest males known to us. Umred karhandla has large genes flooded and Brahmapuri forest division houses some of the healthiest Central indian males. now the myth of pench river having the biggest males in Central india is just a myth, Thanks to social media and all the data on hand.


I would recommend, Kanha (Mukki) and Tadoba (Pandherpauni). they have good sightings. Reply
