Why to visit core zones

Core zone forest is the central part of forest which is surrounded by buffer zone. When it comes to forest, both core and buffer zone forest are almost same and there is not physical boundary in between them thus for normal visitors, forest will be same and oursider will never distinguish between core and buffer zone forest. Still core zone safaris are most preferred choice of tourists due to many reasons like:

  • Undisturbed forest: Due to absence of villages & resorts, core zone forest areas remain undisturbed part of forest, for animals and tourists. Due to least human disburbance, animals movement remain good which results into good safari experience.
  • Tiger sighting: At Kanha national park, majority of tiger sightings took place in core zone forest. Due to undisturbed atmosphere with good preybase and water facility, tiger prefers this part of forest thus tiger sighting is good in this forest.
