Detailed Itinerary
After your arrival at New Delhi Airport, our representative will be there to greet you and assist with a seamless transfer to the hotel. They will also guide you through the check-in process and provide you with all the necessary travel documents. You’ll be staying overnight at the hotel.
In the early morning, there will be a quick breakfast followed by a transfer to the airport for a flight departing at 05:55 hrs, destined to reach Nagpur at 07:40 hrs. Upon arrival, you’ll be met at the airport and embark on a 2-hour drive to Pench National Park. Afterward, you can complete the check-in process at the resort. Following a delicious lunch, guests have the opportunity to partake in an afternoon jeep safari within the national park. The day will conclude with dinner and an overnight stay at the resort.
The Pench National Park offers both morning and afternoon jeep safaris, with accommodations and meals provided at the resort. Covering a vast area of 758 sq. km, this tropical forest in Southern India consists of a mix of tropical moist deciduous and dry deciduous teak forests. The landscape is intersected by numerous streams and seasonal “nallahs.”
While the Pench River dries up by the end of April, several water pools, known as “dohs,” remain, serving as watering holes for wildlife. The Pench Reservoir, situated at the park’s center, is the primary water source during the dry season, attracting a concentration of prey and, consequently, tigers, which often hunt in this vicinity. Leopards tend to operate in the peripheral areas but can occasionally be spotted in the deeper forest.
Within the park, you’ll commonly come across animals like Cheetal and Sambar grazing in open areas along roadsides and near the river and reservoir banks. Jackals are known to roam the park in search of food. Packs of wild dogs, numbering up to 15 or more, can be sighted near Chhedia, Jamtara, Bodanala, and Pyorthadi areas of the Reserve.
Gaur herds can be observed near streams and bamboo patches, primarily during the summer months. Sloth bears prefer rocky terrain and are often found in mahul bel-infested forests. Although Chinkaras are present in the park, their numbers are relatively small, and they are mainly seen in open areas.
A morning jeep safari takes you to the Pench national park from where you can drive to Kanha national park in 4-5 hours. On arrival at the park, tourists can check into the resort where you can enjoy dinner and an overnight stay at the resort in Kanha.
At 0500hrs, wake up and start your day with a cup of tea or coffee accompanied by some biscuits. Afterward, embark on a morning safari to explore the natural wonders of Kanha National Park. This park encompasses vast expanses of sal and bamboo forests, rolling grasslands, and meandering streams, covering an impressive 940 sq. km. It’s the heart of the Kanha Tiger Reserve, established in 1974 as part of Project Tiger.
Notably, Kanha National Park is the exclusive habitat of the rare hardground Barasingha (Cervus Duvauceli Branderi), a unique and endangered species. This is the very terrain that inspired Rudyard Kipling’s vivid descriptions in his famous Jungle Book. During your safari, you’ll enjoy a packed breakfast provided by the lodge, which will be served at a designated location, often on the bonnet of your safari vehicle. Relish your breakfast surrounded by the untamed beauty of Kanha National Park.
While on the safari, continue your quest to spot the elusive tiger, if you haven’t already, and immerse yourself in the rejuvenating and invigorating natural environment. Your safari will conclude around 1130hrs, at which point you can return to your accommodations to freshen up and savor a delicious lunch.

The oldest sign of habitation in the park are caves dug into the sandstone to the north of the fort. Several contain Brahmi inscriptions dating from the 1st century B.C. Various dynasties have ruled the fort, for example, the Maghas from the 1st century A.D., the Vakatakas from the 3rd century A.D., From that time onwards Bandhavgarh was ruled by a succession of dynasties including the Chandela Kings. Bandhavgarh became more and more deserted gradually until forest overran the area and it became the royal hunting reserve.
Bandhavgarh remained the private property of the Maharaja until he gave it to the state for the formation of the National Park in 1968. After the park was created poaching and hunting were brought under control and the number of animals rose dramatically. The number of tigers in particular prospered and the 1986 extension provided the much-needed forest area to accommodate them. There are accommodations for tourists for overnight stays at the resort.
