📍 Detailed Itinerary
Day 1: The City of Marble (Jabalpur)
- Arrival: Land at Jabalpur (JLR) or arrive by train.

- Evening: Witness the spiritual Narmada Aarti at Gwarighat.
- Stay: Jabalpur.
Day 2–4: Into the Wild (Kanha National Park)
- Day 2 (Transfer): A 4-hour drive ($165$ km) takes you from the city to the lush Sal forests of Kanha. Spend the evening relaxing at your jungle resort.
- Day 3 & 4 (Safaris): You have two full days here. I recommend:
- Morning Safaris: The best time for Tiger sightings and seeing the rare Hard-ground Barasingha (only found here).

💡 Pro-Tips for Your Trip
- Safari Booking: Kanha safaris sell out months in advance. Book your permits on the official MP Online portal as soon as your dates are fixed.
- Pachmarhi Transport: Private vehicles are restricted in many parts of Pachmarhi. You will likely need to hire a local registered 4x4 Gypsy for sightseeing.
- Best Time to Visit: October to March offers the best weather. The parks are closed during the monsoon (July–September).
