About Kanha Tiger Reserve:

Kanha is nestled in the Maikal range of Satpuras in Madhya Pradesh, the heart of India that forms the central Indian highlands.The national park is being popularized as the Tiger reserve and interestingly is being declared as one of the finest wildlife areas in the world. Spreading across two revenue districts the Mandala and the Kalaghat, Kanha National Park was declared a reserve forest in 1879 and revalued as a wildlife sanctuary in 1933. Its position was further upgraded to a national park in 1955.

The Kanha National Park is spread across the area of 940 sq km in the Maikal chain of hills. By bringing up the buffer and core zone all together, the Kanha Tiger Reserve has the total area of 1945 sq km.

The landscapes and the surrounding luxurious meadows along with the wooded strands and the dense maroons of forests offer magnanimous sightseeing experiences for the nature lovers. Making the land more beautiful and adorable, the crystal clear streams amidst the dense jungle cleanses the surroundings and makes the wildlife unrivalled. This vivacious land has been the source of inspiration for Rudyard Kipling, a famous writer for his outstanding creation- “The Jungle Book”.

The Kanha National Park is the ideal home for wide ranges of wild creatures; right from the mighty tigers to the most populated Barasingha and the countless species of plants, birds, reptiles and insects. This reserve has fascinated many travellers around the corners of the world with its well developed infrastructure specially meant for them. The best location here to enjoy the most is the Bammi Dadar, also known as the Sunset Point.

Tour Dates:

I do privately organised tours so if you are a family or a group of friends who wants to visit Kanha, I can plan it for you. The minimum participants should be 5 or in multiples of 5 to make it cost effective.

What is the best time to Visit Kanha?

Kanha remains close from 1st July till 15th October (3.5 months) due to monsoon season. The park reopens on 15th October & then remains open till 30th June (8.5 months).

October till January is usually a winter time here & whole jungle looks lush green. This is one of the recommended time to click best wildlife photographs.

Season changes from February as temperature starts rising in central India. So February till June end is summer season where the chances of sighting a tiger & other mammals becomes more easy due to lack of water.

Kanha has specific number of safari vehicles from each entry gate. These safaris are available for booking 120 days prior. Due to popularity amongst wildlife lovers across the world, these safaris get sold out within no time. So I highly recommend my guests to plan Kanha Tour minimum 90 days prior to get confirm safari permits. Unlike other leisure holiday destinations, it is not possible to get bookings at Kanha at last moment.
