Kanha National Park; Kanha Tiger Reserve India Part 4 of India and Sri Lanka Trip

Indian wildlife video blog of our safaris trips exploring Kanha National Park, includes a superb siting of the large male tiger 'Chota Mona'. India has superb tiger parks, great credit to the Indian Forest department on their strict policy of the wildlife come first, their management is truly first for the animals and then the local people who live around the parks.

That tiger was truly magnificient. Wonderful video!

This is exactly how you should make a safari video. Something 'most' of our Indian Youtubers can learn from. No unnecessarily annoying background music. No running commentary. No tacky effects. Just a nicely edited safari video highlighting the special moments in detail. I felt as if I was there in the jeep with him, watching Chota Munna and the other inhabitants of the jungle. Great job, James. Your video was such a refreshing change from the clutter that I endure just to watch some safari moments on YouTube.

No irritating background music or commentary, good. Just an hour of raw footage. Thanks.

With this great masterpiece, the only way you could take a step up is with snow leopards in the Himalayan National Parks. Ive heard Hemis, Great Himalayan, Govind Pashu Vihar and Nanda Devi National Parks are amazing places to spot a snow leopard. Especially in Ladakh and Northern Himachal.

What a sighting of a Massive huge Male Tiger. Its belly was almost touching the ground, seems like it just had a good fill. 😂😂😂😂

Happy to see Tiger population 🐅 flourishing in our country. Pristine National parks and plenty of prey species besides legal protection are few reasons the Tigers are thriving here.

I am also delighted to tell you all that the tiger numbers have gone up even more than 550 in the Russian Far East - Amur region.

Some of the male tigers found in Indian National parks grow up as big as the Siberian Tigers. The Tiger corridors in Karnataka or Ranthambore in Rajasthan to M.P or the Terai Region from Corbett to Shukla phanta in Nepal or the beautiful forests of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, the dense hilly forests of Kerala and Tamil nadu or Kaziranga in Assam to sunderbans in West Bengal. I wonder which habitat the tiger has not adapted to? I think in every type of forests in India 🇮🇳 the tigers have survived and its brilliant for revival of jungles in India 🇮🇳.

Happy to see more tourists flocking our National parks and enjoying the wild life sightings.

I have visited kanha national park it was incredible.

[funloving]

I have been watching your Jungle Safari video series... They are marvelous 😊

At 44:30 the birds sound are a treat to ears, very melodious and peaceful. I saw another of your video of jungle orchestra - Jim Corbett National park, got to know of you using an app for tracking birds.. Merlin app 😊 it was new and a delight to know that such a app exists. 😊

Very Happy and thankful to you for sharing the majestic atmosphere of a true jungle ❤.
I am from city enjoying your videos.
I wish good health to you all.👍

Very few youtubers catch the real essence of jungle life. You bring such colourful rederation of the morning fog and evening peace through your lenses in to our lives. I am thankful you never over saturate colors in the videos while editing.
Do visit India again and bring such videos of the jungle. I loved all your Jim Corbett National park videos. 😊😊😊

[linahajra]

The best jungle safari. Thanks for sharing 😊😊👍👍

[samarthghodake]

Hey jams if you will come in indian next time, you should go to tadoba national park, mahrstra state, india

[Nowheretobefoundanywhere]

Rawness of videography is top notch. The best way to show actual forest is keeping the sanctity of jungle background noise as it is. Keep making videos. Respect and love for your work.

[aksharbrahm]

HI James, It's a Lovely video with details and explanation. I completely agree that your guide and driver should have involved you somehow in the conversation. May be it happened because of the language barrier i guess.

[momeuis]
