Kuno National Park reopens for tourists in MP

The Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh, the only home of cheetahs in the country, reopened for tourists on Sunday, October 6 after being shut for the annual monsoon season.

But, the two-year wait of visitors to get a glimpse of the cheetahs is not yet over as



the felines have not been released into the wild so far.

Nearly eight decades after the cheetahs were hunted to extinction, eight large carnivores were brought from Namibia to the KNP in September 2022 and put in bomas (enclosures) to revive their population in India.
