Wild pradesh

Central India's largest state is home to 300 tigers and presents a mixed platter of flora & fauna, history, tribal life & culture

Satpura ke Ghane jungle, Neend mein doobe hue se, Unghte anmane Jungle… These lines by the great Hindi poet Nagarjun gives a sneak peek into Madhya Pradesh’s natural beauty, tribal life, folk culture, flora and fauna, etc. Nature has been really generous to this state, often known as the Heart of India, when it comes to beauty. The state also boasts of close to 300 tigers in its various sanctuaries and is aptly called the ‘Tiger State’ of the country. When we look for a conjunction of solitude, spiritualism, nature, flora & fauna and a vibrant folk tradition at one place, our search stops at Madhya Pradesh.

Pachmarhi, Bandhavgarh, Kanha are some of the hot summer destinations in the state. In the last few years, the number of foreign tourists visiting these places has grown manifold. Talking to TSI, state tourism minister Tukoji Rao Panwar told TSI, “The infrastructure of these places have been developed keeping in view the inflow of foreign tourists. Our ultimate motive is to make these tourists comfortable.”

While Pachmarhi is known as the “Queen of Satpura”, Bandhavgarh is famous for its abode of tigers. Not to be left behind, Kanha has the distinction of being the place where Rudyard Kipling conceived and wrote the famous "Jungle Book". Talking to TSI, Dhruv Narayan Singh, Madhya Pradesh Tourism Corporation chairman, said, “The state is rich in flora and fauna and it leaves a lasting impression on anybody visiting it.”
