Excursions from Kanha:
Kawardha just east of the Maikala Range (up to 1100m) to the south east of Kanha National
park, Kawardha
is a small town in Chhattisgarh (34 forts) region of M.P. In this remote
area Maharaja Viswaraj Singh has
recently opened his palace to visitors. It provides a
delightfully quite unspoiled contrast with Indias big cities and
with the much
busier tourist circuit of Rajasthans palace circuit. This town is in the
center of the Baiga tribe,
who live in forest surrounding the town, and these are several
eleventh century temples in the immediate region. |
