Recommended for age group: 12-16 years
Kanha is one of India’s most iconic tiger reserves – a beautiful landscape of towering Sal forests, wide grassland meadows and rich wildlife. It is not only one of the best places to see the Tiger, but also the only home of the Hard-ground Barasingha, a rare and endemic deer that has become a symbol of successful conservation in India.
On this students’ special Kanha Wildlife Camp, participants travel from Pune to Kanha accompanied by our experienced team, stay in a comfortable AC resort close to the park, and explore the forest through multiple jeep safaris, nature trails, and cultural interactions. They also have the opportunity to meet and learn from the Baiga tribal community, whose traditional lifestyle is closely linked to the forest.
Kanha is also famous as “raptor country” – a stronghold for vultures, eagles and hawks that soar above the Sal canopy. For young nature lovers, this camp offers a powerful mix of adventure, learning and real-world conservation stories.
Join us as we explore the treasures of this beautiful forest!!
