Covering an area of approximately 437 sq. kilometer, this wetland plateau is the terrain of the beautiful and timid animals to the most ferocious of tigers. Once been the personal hunting ground of Maharaja of Rewa, this wildlife region is remembered for the majestic white Tiger, who was named as Mohan.
This tiger, now stuffed to be displayed on the wall of the palace of Rewa King. The credit of initiating the breed of the captive white tiger goes to this very tiger.

| There are two ways up on the plateau, a jeep track and a footpath-both steep. It is far easier to see the fort by the jeep but much more rewarding to make the journey on foot. There is a convenient place to park vehicles on the southern side of the fort in the lush jungle which surrounds its base. This point is known as Shesh Saaiya, named after a unique 35 foot (11 meters) long statue of reclining Vishnu carved around the 10th century, from whose feet the Charanganga is said to flow. A rectangular pool of spring water lies just beneath the statue and the path to the main gate of the fort. On the other side of this imposing gateway lie 560 acres (227 hectares) of grassland, over which are scattered turtle-filled tanks and the many remains of the human inhabitants of the fort- from ancient statues to the barracks occupied by Rewa's troops upto independence. At a brisk pace the walk from the Shesh Saaiya to the southern side of the fort need only take an hour. |
