The Right Time To Visit Kanha National Park

If you are truly driven to do tiger spotting then the best time is between April and May. However, bear in mind that is the hottest time of year when the temperature is through the roof at 400C.

At that time, the small and scattered waterholes of the national park are dried and tigers along with many other animals are drawn toward the bigger water bodies. This makes the spotting easier and you may also be lucky to see the game of hunter and prey.

For the ease of doing safari and fair chances of sighting tigers, the winter season (particularly the months of December and January) is recommended for visiting Kanha.

  • July to September– Park is closed due to the rainy season
  • October to November– Water logs can still be there so the chances of a sighting are very less
  • December to February– Pleasant weather makes sighting easy, and chances of spotting are fair
  • March to June– Tiger spotting is easy at this time but you need to be ready to put up with the heat.

👉 Note- Park remains closed on Wednesday
