There are Sal trees planted throughout the length of the park which stand tall and provide shade all over the park. The unique biodiversity observed in the forest represents virgin forests which make the surrounding greener and livelier. The national park was started in the year 1982 and with a large variety of flora and fauna found within the park there are different visiting places there as well. Few of them are Kailash Caves, Kutumsar Caves, Kanger Dhara and Bhim Dhara crocodile parks etc. I even saw two different resorts within the park which provides a very good place for holding picnics and small gatherings.
It was the first day of my stay in Chhattisgarh and I could not resist more to kick start my trips around the city. I decided to start the journey from far off places first and in meanwhile continue looking for places in my locality. Therefore I planned a trip to Bastar in Chhattisgarh which hosts a beautiful national park called Kanger Ghati National Park. From Raipur it is a long distance journey to Bastar. Therefore I took a train to travel to Jagdalpur from Raipur which is a distance of 330 km then I again took a bus from Jagdalpur to Bastar and finally reached at the Kanger Ghati National Park. The entire national park is more like a biosphere reserve which hosts several plants and animals. The Kanger Valley extends over a large area of 34 kilometers and the presence of the national park is just like an added advantage to it. Being situated beside the banks of the Kholaba River, the place experiences a much peaceful climate. The park is spread across an area of 200 square kilometers and the presence of the Kanger River is what makes it name.

He fauna seen in the national park varies from chital, sambar, cobra, langurs, leopards, tigers, lions, sloth bear, wild cat, mouse deer and barking deer to spotted owlet, racket tailed drongos, parrots, peacocks, hill mynah etc. The best time to visit the park is from the month of Novemer to June. I was actually happy that I had planned my trip in the month of March as it was just the onset of summers and the climate was dwindling between hot and springy.
