Central India's most untouched wilderness. Experience walking safaris on foot with expert naturalists, silent boat safaris on the Denwa, leopards, sloth bears, and Indian giant squirrels.
Unlike crowded commercial safari parks, Satpura Tiger Reserve allows what few places in India permit: walking safaris inside core and buffer zones under armed forest ranger protection, nocturnal game drives, and silent kayak explorations. With its rugged sandstone peaks, narrow gorges, and dense sal forest, Satpura is heaven for true wilderness enthusiasts seeking intimacy over crowds.
Thoughtfully paced so you spend less time in transit and more time soaking in the atmosphere.
Arrive at the lodge overlooking the backwaters of the Tawa reservoir. Afternoon bird-watching walk along the river edge followed by a campfire briefing on Satpura's biodiversity.
