Climate
Kanha enjoys three
seasons namely cool and
dry (Oct-Feb), warm and
hot (Mar-June), and rains
(July-Sep). Average temperatures range from -2 deg.
celsius to 32 deg. celsius. In November, the
Kans grasses
flowering along stream beds and marshes
present an awesome sight. In January, trees shed their leaves
and by the end-February,
spring arrives. In May when
its very hot, the grasses wither.
Sal trees, however, flush with new
surf-green leaves. April is
the most colourful month with plants and
trees in full bloom. The
monsoons rapidly convert the forest from
yellow and brown to
green. New grasses sprout
and grow quickly reaching a height of more than 2 ft in
July-Aug.

Hindi and English (in tourist
spots).

Kanha National
Park is as famous for its variety of flora as it is for the
Indian tiger. The lowland
forest is a mixture of sal
and other mixed forest trees,
interspersed with meadows, while the
highland forests are of a completely
different nature with bamboo on the slopes
and denser zones have abundant species
of climbers, shrubs and
herbs and an Indian ghost tree
(kullu).
Kanha abounds in meadows or
maidans, open grasslands that have
sprung up in fields of abundant villages, evacuated to make
way for the animals. Aquatic plants in
numerous "tal"s (lakes) are a
life line for migratory and wetland species of
birds.
The
wildlife in the national park include tigers,
leopards, the sloth bear, Indian wild dog, Indian wolf,
spotted deer or chital, sambar, grey langur,
wild boar, gaur, barasingha, chousingha,
nilgai, rhesus macaque, golden
jackal, bengal fox, smooth-coated otter, honey badger, small
Indian civet, Indian gray mongoose, ruddy mongoose, striped
hyena, jungle cat, leopard cat, Indian spotted chevrotain,
Indian pangolin, Indian porcupine, Indian hare and Indian
jungle fowl.
