Activities at Kanha

What can you do at Kanha National Park?

A very common question our guests ask is - What can we do at Kanha? Kanha Tiger Reserve is famous for Tiger safari and wildlife photography and most visitors to this beautiful tiger reserve come with these in mind. But, we have so many other activities which normally most hotels in kanha national park do not offer to keep you and your children busy.

We will make a special tailor made package for Kanha as per your requirement. Along with wildlife safari we will include activities which are more sustainable and give a much better experience and make your visit a memorable one.

NATURE TREK: Resort is adjacent to dense buffer forest, a stop dam and tribal village. Interested guests can go for a nature trek to the buffer forest area with local village guides who know the area very well. These guides are being taught to take out guests by us. By nature treks you will be able to enjoy the forest and its bio diversity more extensively. Animals you can see at the time of nature walk include Spotted deer, Sambhar deer, Barking deer, Blue Bill (Neel Gai), Gaur (Indian Bison), Jackals, Foxes, Wolf, Jungle cat and many other small and big once including Leopard and Tiger and host of birds, butterflies and insects.

Just a few minutes walk in the buffer forest will take you to MPCA, where forest department is actively working on conservation of locally available herbs well known for their medicinal properties. MPCA can also be visited with local herb doctor - 'Vaidhya', who will guide you through use of different plants and can also write a prescription for you. If for some reason MPCA is closed same tour can be arranged as Medicinal Plants Identification Tour in buffer forest.
