How to Plan a Satpura National Park Tour

• -- Why Winter and Spring? During this time, the cool weather is pleasant. Animals tend to emerge more frequently when they drink water from lakes and rivers.
• -- For Bird Lovers If you love birds, winter (November to February) is the prime time. A lot of birds from cold countries come flying here, and they are everywhere!
• -- Monsoon Note: Please be informed that park remains closed for safari during the heavy monsoon i.e. from July to September. This time is crucial for the re-growth of the forest and the survival of everything that lives in it.

Getting to Satpura is easier than you think. The main city to reach for is Bhopal.

• --By Air (Flying): The nearest airport is Raja Bhoj Airport in Bhopal. It is about 120 km from the park. From the airport, you can easily book a taxi for a comfortable 3-hour drive to your resort.
• -- By Train (Railway): The closest railway station is Pipariya, about 50 km away. Many trains from big cities like Delhi and Mumbai stop here. From the station, you can take a taxi or an auto-rickshaw to reach the park.
• -- By Road (Driving): A road trip to Satpura is a beautiful journey. The roads are good, and you will see lovely views. You can drive from cities like Bhopal (3 hours), Nagpur (7 hours), or Jabalpur (5 hours).

Where you stay is a large part of your jungle experience. Fortunately, Satpura offers lot of options for all budgets.

• -- Luxury Jungle Lodges: Treat yourself to a stay in a luxury jungle lodge. These places provide warm and cozy cottages, mouth watering cuisine, swimming pools and yes.. campfires under the stars.
• -- Resort Comfort: There are plenty of comfortable, clean resorts that provide excellent service but won't break the bank.
• -- Forest Guest Houses: For a raw wild experience you can try booking a guest house situated in the forest. These are basic but extremely naturesque.

At Seven Safars, we assist you in selecting and booking the perfect stay for your family and budget.

It’s the safari that really makes your Satpura trip! Satpura is not like many other parks– it has various types of safaris here.

• -- Jeep Safari: This is the best known and most common means of transport to explore. You ride in an open jeep with a guide and go out into the bush looking for animals.
• -- Boat Safari: If you love nature, peace and quiet, your boat safari is a must! You can opt for a boat Safari on Denwa River to spot animals when they come to the water’s edge and several water birds.
• -- Walking Safari (Trekking): Who said you can’t take a walk inside the forest for those inclined to braveness and adventurism? It allows you to observe the little things in the jungle such as animal tracks, beautiful insects.

Important Safari Tip: You need to book your safari permits early. There is a daily quota on the number of vehicles, and they fetch the highest prices, particularly on weekends. We at Seven Safars can manage all your safari bookings.
