A gecko darts aside, as rosettes emerge, hesitant, from the dense bamboo thicket. As the dappled evening light filters through the lush Sal canopy, you catch a glimpse of one of the most elusive cats of India, the leopard! As a gentle breeze blows across the grasslands of Satpura, the cat slinks away. The woods come alive!

What to expect?

Nestled among the sandstone peaks, lie these prime woods of Madhya Pradesh. First explored by the legendary Captain James Forsyth, this pristine landscape is dotted with alluring valleys, narrow ravines and vast grasslands. Satpura is one of the best places to see the majestic sloth bear, often spotted with their young ones in the winter and early summer months. Thanks to its unique topography, the leopard population in Satpura is thriving and you shouldn't be surprised to see ambling along the safari track! Because of its unique terrain, Satpura is rich in biodiversity, with the main highlights being the tiger, leopard, sloth bear, along with other mammals and a wide range of avian diversity. Satpura also holds the distinction of being the only tiger reserve in central India where you can go on a walking trail in the core, and with experts like Dr. Parag himself leading these hikes through the incredible woods of Satpura, be assured of an experience which only Mr Forsyth can fathom and appreciate in its entirety! Satpura is magic, Satpura is unexplored, Satpura is intimate!
