When to book | Book 90-120 Days in advance. It is a very important step that a guest can take for the success of its own trip. Advance booking is highly recommended when you have any wildlife safari destination in your tour plan. Similarly, in city areas, due to marriage or corporate conferences, many times popular hotels get sold out in advance due to which tour quality get compromised. Thus we repeatedly highlight this point. |
On arrival at Jabalpur Airport or Railway Station, drive to Bandhavgarh national park. It is a approx. 4:00 hr long journey with scenic hilly views and long drive over rocky plateau with fossils.
