When visiting the Kanha National Park in Mandla, Madhya Pradesh, it is good to know some tips. In this article you will get some useful tips for tourist visitors to Kanha National Park.

1. As mentioned in the article on location of the Kanha National Park, the Park covers two districts – Mandla and Balaghat. Hence, there are 2 entrances to the Kanha National Park, one at Khatia ( Mandla District) and the other at Mukki ( Balaghat District). Visitors should therefore confirm in advance the timings for excursions to the Park, as it is possible that these entrances are open at different times of the day and also in different seasons. Otherwise you may well end up at a locked gate!

2. Camera fees at Kanha National Park: While you do not have to pay any fees for using your camera or video cam inside Kanha National Park, you need to pay fees for any kind of commercial photography and also take prior written permission for the same.

3. It is compulsory for every visiting group/individual to have a guide and pay the guide fees. You cannot explore the Park on your own.

4. It is best to explore the Park in the jeep provided rather than take your own vehicle so that you can enjoy the experience better without having to concentrate on driving! Also, there are restrictions on speed limits (not more than 20 km per hour) and diesel and heavy vehicles are not permitted inside. Also, you cannot use the car's headlights or horn or crank up the car's stereo system at full blast.

5. You are not allowed to wander around the Park on foot. At all times, you must remain seated inside your vehicle. Make sure, too, that the kids in your group do not suddenly get out of the vehicle when you stop to take photographs from the car/jeep.

6. You must not carry penknives, darts or any kind of weapons – these will be confiscated. You should definitely carry extra batteries for your camera, as you will not find shops nearby. Also carry a small torch.

7. Wear comfortable clothing with soft colours. Avoid wearing clothes with bright neon-type colours. You should blend in! Also wear comfortable shoes, a hat and sunglasses. It is advisable to carry sunscreen lotion if you have sensitive skin.

8. While you can carry some snacks with you, you are not allowed to feed any of the animals or birds in the Park. No alcohol is allowed inside the Park.

9. Avoid being boisterous, indulging in loud chatter and generally making a noisy nuisance.

10. Please do not litter the Park premises by throwing empty water bottles out of the car window or other kinds of trash. Respect the environment and keep the place clean.
