Madhya Pradesh Wildlife Packages: what to know first

Madhya Pradesh has several of India's best tiger reserves, including Kanha, Bandhavgarh, Pench and Satpura. Each has a distinct landscape, and a good trip picks one or two rather than rushing through four.

Tiger sightings are never guaranteed. The pleasure is in the forest, the birds and the patience.
