 Kanha has two main valleys, Halon in the east and Banjar in
the west, and the grassy 'maidans' (often old village
sites), dotted with clumps of forest harbour large numbers
of herbivores. The hills offer support sizeable plateaus
(locally called 'Dadars') and the characterized by extensive
grasslands and scant trees. These 'Dadars' are much favoured
by Gaur and Four-horned Antelope.
The forests are deciduous, the main tree being the Sal, and
there are large stands of bamboo. Higher up the slopes the
forests tend to become dense and mixed with Haldu and Bija
trees. Birds in the park include the Painted Partridge,
Shaheen Falcon and Golden Oriole.
