Satpura National Park

Satpura National Park is a wildlife habitat situated in the heart of the Satpura range in the Hoshangabad district of Madhya Pradesh. The total area it covers is around 524 sq km. Dr Salim Ali, a well-known bird watcher, initially presented it in 1981. The park creates a distinctive central Indian highland habitat in the same year by enclosing an area of 1427 sq km and bordering the Bori Sanctuary (486 sq km) and Panchmarhi Wildlife Sanctuary (417 sq km). The park joined the Tiger Project Network in 1999, becoming the Bodi-Satpura Tiger Reserve. Well, the abundance of ancient rock shelters decorated with lovely artwork in this area captivates everyone with a deep interest in archaeology. Satpura is a less explored wildlife haven India houses along with Panchmarhi, Bori and Madhai. 

Along the way, you'll pass through arid landscapes marked by sandstone peaks, ravines, tight gorges, and dense forests, which combine to create an exceptional work of nature. Every nature lover should visit the park to take in the scenery, which includes the rainforest, beautiful mountainous terrain, rivulets, and forests, among other things. The wildlife of Satpura is extremely diverse, with a wide variety of flora and fauna, including uncommon kinds of mammals, birds, reptiles, and plants. There are 1300 different species of plants in Satpura Park's vegetation, including teak, sal, tendu, mahua, bel, bamboos, grasses, bushes, and many others having therapeutic and medicinal properties. For those who love forests, Satpura National Park's flora is a beautiful treat. A few of the many species of animals that can be seen include the leopard, tiger, chital, nilgai, four-horned antelope, bhedki, rhesus, monkey chinkara, wild boar, buck, fox, flying squirrel, and Indian joint squirrel. In addition to these, there are a vast array of other bird species, including, to name a few, Malabar pied hornbills, crested hawk eagles, honey buzzards, paradise flycatchers, thrushes, pheasants, and peafowl.

For those who are interested majorly in wildlife, Satpura National Park is the ideal place because of its breathtaking hilly landscapes, serene jungle, deep gorges, streamlets, unmoving forest spots, and many other captivating features. The park is one of India's most stunning natural areas, nestled amid the Satpura mountains. One can continue to enjoy the Jungle Safari whether riding an elephant, a Jeep, or a watercraft. The maximum seating capacity for a jeep safari is 8, and visitors must accompany the driver and guide while on a park safari or game drive. It is among the best methods for learning about wildlife. Most importantly, on Monday Safari, park management organises a "tiger display" in which Satpura chains a small herd of riding elephants used just for sighting tigers. In order to see or photograph tigers at the Tiger Show, you must first pay a certain price to the official. Boating on the Denwa River is one of the best experiences one can have in their lifetime, along with riding an elephant or a vehicle. In Satpura, a boat safari offers a wonderful opportunity to see the stunning highlands and exhilarating forest fauna. While silently paddling along the edge of the jungle, you can see a great variety of birds and animals. What is Satpura National Park famous for? The place is bio diversity rich and sightings include tigers, leopards, sambar, chital, flying squirrel, mouse deer and more.
