Physical fitness required Good fitness required. For walking safari at Satpura national park, good fitness is prequisite else we have to drop this activity.

When to book Book 140 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.
