About Satpura National Park
Satpura is a very important part of The Highlands of Central India. Captain James Forsyth spent a considerable time in the area in the mid-19th century. One can camp along the river, an experience which lasts for 2 nights, 3 days. There are varied ways to explore Satpura’s flora and fauna – the usual jeep safaris, boat safaris and interesting walking safaris. Tigers call Satpura a home for sure, but their sightings are bleak. However, you are almost assured a Leopard and a Sloth Bear sighting in Satpura. With an extremely contrasting landscape, Satpura imbibes everything; from hills to gorges and the ravines and plains of Churna.
Should you want to stay inside the national park, you can spend a night in Churna Camp and get a feel of staying in the heart of the forest. So, if you have accomplished doing regular morning and evening safaris, Satpura offers a lot of activities. It encapsulates the complete wilderness experience. The highest point of the Highlands is just about a 2-hour drive from the national park, called Panchmarhi.
