Satpura National Park

Satpura National Park is a protected area in Narmadapuram district, India, covering forested slopes and gorges. The landscape includes sandstone peaks, deep valleys, and dense tree cover across different elevations.

The region gained attention in 1862 when British officers traversed the forests during a military campaign. Decades later, conservation efforts led to the establishment of a protected area.

Local communities have long referred to this region by a name derived from Sanskrit words describing seven hills. Visitors today experience this connection through walks and safaris that follow routes once used by forest dwellers.

The reserve opens from October through March, when weather conditions favor wildlife viewing. Visitors can choose between jeep tours, boat rides, or guided walks.

Over a thousand plant species grow here, including rare medicinal herbs found in few other regions. Tigers and leopards share the same territory, creating unexpected encounters for visitors.
