The fascinating middle kingdom with its fabulous forts and glitzy palaces, its tribal culture and regal past, continues to engage the imagination of the discerning traveler. Buddhist stupas and monasteries, Hindu temples and Sikh shrines, tiger havens and speaking mynhas. This is the land of the sculpted erotic splendor of the Khajuraho temples, the stunning Gwalior Fort, the riverside Orcha palaces, the exciting Kanha and Bandhavgarh national parks. It is the world of Bastar's vivid tribals and the glorious Biosphere Reserve stretches of Kanger National Park punctuated by deep caves and Niagara-like waterfalls
