Madhya Pradesh
Dry Deccan forest and rocky gorges along the Ken river. Poaching wiped out its tigers in the mid-2000s, and reintroductions from other reserves have brought the population back. It was among the first parks in India to allow night safaris, which have raised sightings of civets, leopard cats, hyenas and bears.
