About Achankamar Tiger Reserve
Achankamar Wildlife Sanctuary was established in 1975 and declared as a tiger reserve in 2009. Legend has it that a British man was killed by a tiger’s sudden (‘sudden’) attack (‘mar’) in this forest.
And hence the place came to be known as Achankamar or Sudden Attack. Another legend has it that when the British employed both the Gond and Baiga tribes as
laborers for forestry at the present site of the Achankamar rest house, the two groups quarreled over each other claiming that one had got too much work.
And the other has got less job opportunities, hence the sudden attack without any prior intention and plan.
The place came to be known as “Achanak-Mar” since
the British officer in charge described the incident as “SIR Achanak Mar Ho Gay”.
The tropical moist deciduous vegetation that covers most of the area provides
the park with high floral and faunal diversity.
Forming a part of the larger Achankamar Amarkantak Biosphere Reserve, the area is home to over 1400 species of plants and over 300 species.
The Maniyari river that flows through the center of the reserve is its lifeline.
Achanakmar is a corridor connecting Kanha and Bandhavgarh
Tiger Reserves and plays an important role in
the dispersal of tigers within these sanctuaries.
The sanctuary is home to Bengal tiger, Indian leopard, striped hyena, Indian jackal, dhole, sloth bear, gaur, sambar, spotted deer, nilgai, four-horned
antelope, barking deer, wild boar and many other species. More than 150 species of birds fly across the landscape.
Achanakmar’s rich vegetation, plains and hills still retain
the feeling of an untouched and unexplored landscape.
It offers wildlife and researchers an opportunity to discover many rare species which are not yet in
the records of the Zoological Survey of India.
Through the green roofs, breathing in the fresh air and the sudden sighting of wildlife gives a high like no other.
