ABOUT SATPURA NATIONAL PARK - Central India’s Best Kept Wilderness Secret
Hidden in the heart of Madhya Pradesh, in the Hoshangabad district, lies one of India’s most enchanting and untouched tiger reserves — Satpura National Park.
Unlike the crowded safari circuits of India, Satpura offers something rare and precious: space, silence, and true wilderness. This is where the jungle still whispers. Rugged sandstone peaks, deep ravines, winding rivers, and dense forests of Sal and Teak create a landscape that feels straight out of The Jungle Book. Spread across 1,427 square kilometres of pristine habitat, Satpura is raw, authentic, and breathtakingly beautiful.
