Madhya Pradesh, a largest state in central India, retains landmarks from eras throughout Indian history. Begun in the 10th century, its Hindu and Jain temples at Khajuraho are renowned for their carvings. Panna, Bandhavgarh, Pench and Kanha National parks, noted Bengal tiger sanctuaries, offer guided safaris. It is also one of the famous destinations for sighting Tigers as it holds the maximum number of Tigers in Nation. It holds a very significant place when it comes to wildlife and nature lovers, every year Thousands of foreign tourists are attracted towards Madhya Pradesh due to its rich forest and historical significance.

Panna National Park was established in the year 1981 and officially declared a tiger reserve in 1994, Panna National Park is spread over 542.67 sq km. The sanctuary was formed out of the hunting reserves of the former princely states of Panna, Chhatarpur and Bijawar, in 1975, most of this area became a part of the Gangau Wildlife Sanctuary. Fourteen out of 17 villages situated in the park were relocated to make the park an outstanding habitat for Tigers. Tiger sightings in the park are as good as they are in more famous Bandhavgarh and Kanha National Parks. Panna has had a checkered history as far as its tiger population is concerned. It had a thriving tiger population in 1990s but lost them all by early 2009 due to poaching, infanticide and paucity of female tigers. However, concerted conservation efforts have helped turn the tide. Park has regained its tiger population as a result of translocation of six tigers from other parks including two captive tigresses. The park now has over 25 tigers. Panna National Park’s topography is a splendid mosaic.

Bandhavgarh National Park is one of the popular national parks in India located in Umaria district of Madhya Pradesh. The park derives its name from the most prominent hillock of the area, which was said to be given by Lord Rama to his brother Lakshmana to keep a watch on Lanka. Hence the name Bandhavgarh. Rich mixed forests consisting of Sal, Saga, Salai, and Dhobin, with dense bamboo thickets occur in many places spread in an area of 694 Sq.kms approx. Bandhavgarh has one of the highest density of Bengal tigers known in the world and are around 65-70 in this park. The first white tiger was captured in this region in 1951. There are 39 caves in the Bandhavgarh fort and in the surrounding hillocks up to a radius of about 5 km.
