Kanha tiger reserve in February 2018

We stayed at Club Mahindra resort in Kanha which is quite close to the sanctuary. The important thing about the jungle safari is that you need to book in advance. The government website is https://forest.mponline.gov.in/ . Create a profile here by adding all the details of family/ friends who will be joining the safari. You need identity info such as pan card, aadhar number etc. Ensure that all your bookings are done through this site. There is no need to contact any agents for any bookings. Kanha is the main area where tiger spotting happens. Kathia is the outskirts of the jungle. No point booking a safari here unless you are interested in flora fauna and the usual spotted Deer. All the safaris start from a single gate. Once the vehicles enter the gates, they move in different areas. Basically there is only one gate that you need to reach irrespective of the 'area' booking you have. A jeep can accommodate 6 persons comfortably. The front seats are for the driver

The Dilwara temples do not open before 12 noon and hence couldn't visit them. And since it was the month of April, there wasn’t anything else to do there so we left for our main destination, Kumbhalgarh. We reached our destination, Club Mahindra, a little after lunch hour. Day 3: Spent the day relaxing in the hotel. Visited Kumbhalgarh fort in the evening. It’s a must visit place. The light and sound show is also wor
