Madhya Pradesh and Chattisgarh

Covering a vast area of 443,406 sq km, Madhya Pradesh and Chattisgarh constitute the geographic heart of India. Between them, they border onto seven states, have one-third of India’s forest cover, and are home to 40 percent of the country’s tribal population. Madhya Pradesh is crossed by the Vindhya and the Satpura mountains, and its main river is the Narmada. In the state’s rugged north are the famous Khajuraho temples while eastern Madhya Pradesh has two of India’s finest game sanctuaries, Bandhavgarh and Kanha. The scenic Malwa plateau in the southwest has the great Buddhist Stupa of Sanchi and the romantic 15th-16th century citadel of Mandu. In November 2000, the thickly forested and remote southeast, with its predominantly tribal population, became the new state of Chattisgarh.
