Final road leg to Kanha National Park
Delhi → Khatia Gate → Kanha National Park
For this route, the planned final road transfer can be coordinated to Khatia Gate as an arrival and local-planning point for a Kanha National Park trip. Wildlife Strips can coordinate the onward safari, stay and local transfer requirements around your confirmed itinerary.
Khatia is a useful planning base when the confirmed permit allows access to Kanha, Kisli, Mukki or Sarhi core-zone rounds. The actual permit, entry gate, round and reporting instructions remain the final authority for each safari.
