Kanha and Panchmari

Travelmonk · Oct 5th, 2009, 15:13

Hi all,

We have already planned and booked 5 nights at Kanha in Mid October 09. Earlier we thought that we had only 5 nights and decided to only visit Kanha to avoid too much travelling, but now we realise that our leaves can be streched by a 3 nights, so i have total of 8 nights to spend in Madhya Pradesh but i am not sure which place to visit.

I am thinking of staying for 3 nights at Panchmari but realise that the distance between Kanha and Panchmari is around 337 kms that will translate into 8 hrs of driving hence not very keen to do that, unless the place is a must for nature lover. And not very sure the distance from Panchmari to Nagpur for taking my return flight to Mumbai.

Can you please suggest any other destination where i can spend three nights in Madhya Pradesh or Panchmari is the best option.

Hi Monk Traveler,

Both Panchmarhi and Kanha are heaven for Nature Lover.

Even it is monsoon time, I just came from Tadoba national park and had 4 round of safari but did not get chance to see Tiger (Lot of foutmarks and Barking call but No Tiger

). I think Kanha is remaining close till 15 Oct so just check it out your dates and confirm it with MP Tourism office.

Have you figure-out how will you goto Kanha from Nagpur. I guess below route is suitable for you, you can change first/last stations accordingly.

Mumbai - Bhopal (Flight)
Bhopal - Panchmarhi (6-7 hours Drive)
Panchmarhi - Kanha via Chindwara,Seoni (8 hours Drive)
Kanha - Nagpur via Seoni (250 Kms 8 hours Drive) OR Kanha - Nagpur via Balaghat-Bhandara route more scenaric (280 Kms 9-10 hours Drive)
Nagpur - Mumbai (Flight)

Regards
Rushi

In February we stayed some days in Amarkantak, a nice combination of nature and religious sights.

I don't know the exact distance from Kanha, since this also depends on the place you stay.
I estimate that it will not be more than an hour of two. We came from Kawardha and had to cross the outskirts of Kanha to reach Amarkantak.

Thanks rushijoshi and vonkla for your views.

Panchmari is out because of the travel distance from Kanha & Nagpur and Amarkantak looks to be a very nice option and i am checking the logistics..
