Kanha National Park is about 165 km from Jabalpur, 3–4 hours by taxi. Jabalpur is the nearest major railhead and airport, so most safari trips start here.
Which gate should you go to?
- Khatia and Kisli gates — via Mandla, most common from Jabalpur
- Mukki gate — longer drive, quieter zone
- Sarhi gate — lesser-used buffer side
Best time for a Kanha safari
The park is usually open October to June. April–May has the best tiger sightings; winter mornings are cold, so carry warm clothes.
Taxi tips for safari trips
