Central India

Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh: tigers, temples and tribal country.

Guests on a jeep safari at Pench

Central India is the country’s forested heart. Madhya Pradesh has the tiger reserves of Bandhavgarh and Kanha, the temples of Khajuraho and the marble gorge at Bhedaghat, and Chhattisgarh adds the waterfalls and tribal culture of Bastar.

Madhya Pradesh is run from our Surat office. Core-zone safari permits are released by the forest department and cannot be guaranteed, so we plan these trips early.
