Satpura Madhya Pradesh
This park is less visited than some more accessible ones, which makes this incredible place even more special as you often find yourself alone in its beautiful expanses. Mixed forests at times give way to big bodies of water, and to enter the park one must first cross a river, even in the dry season. It is one of the only parks in India that allows night safaris in its buffer zones. Besides the chance to observe much animal life that stays hidden in daylight hours, this also serves as a deterrent to would-be poachers.
Home to tigers, leopards, and all of central India’s most beloved cats, Satpura Madhya Pradesh also stands out for other wildlife. It is an excellent place to catch packs of wild dogs called dholes, the only place in central India to see the massive Malabar giant squirrel, and is one of the world’s best places to observe sloth bears in the wild. These charismatic bears are the only species that doesn’t hibernate, and also the only one to carry cubs on their back.
