ABOUT THE TOUR
This is a suggested wildlife road-trip itinerary and not a fixed tour package. The destinations, travel dates, accommodation, safari bookings and vehicle arrangements should be confirmed separately according to the traveller’s requirements and availability.
If the booking is for a school or college group tour, we offer separate packages and discounts. In this package, the tour will include four national parks, which are:
- Kanha National Park
- Ranthambore National Park
- Kanha National Park
- Satpura National Park
- Pench National Park
Our journey will start from Bhopal, although if you are in a group or with family or friends, we will provide a separate vehicle for the tour because this tour is also available on a sharing basis, which is economical for those travellers who are seeking solo travel or a tour on a low budget. By the way, after selecting one meeting point, let’s say from Bhopal, by 6 am, all the passengers will meet at our office, where you will be offered welcome drinks and start your journey. Our vehicle will move to our first destination, Kanha Tiger Reserve, which is 438 km from Bhopal.
The journey will be long, 9 hours, so we will take 2-3 halts during the journey for some refreshments. We will reach by 5 pm at the latest, where all the travellers will depart to the allotted resorts, where they will have evening snacks and dinner by 9.30 pm. The Kanha tour will start the next morning with a Jungle safari, and it will take around 45-50 minutes to see wild hogs, boar, deer, elephants, and, if you are lucky, a tiger. After the tour, we will proceed back to the resort for breakfast. After that, we will proceed towards the local museum and park, where you will see the fossils and architecture. The rest of the day will include snacks and dinner.
Pench National Park
The next day, the journey will restart towards our next destination, Pench National Park, which is located at a distance of 218 km and will take around 5 hours to reach. So, after having breakfast in Kanha, the cab will stop at the booked resort in Pench. The travellers will check in and will have their lunch after refreshments. The rest of the day will be free to explore on your own. The next morning, after breakfast, we will move towards Pench National Park entry gate no.3 by 7 am.
