The ideal time to visit Kisli Gate at Kanha National Park is during the months of October to June, as the park is open to tourists during this period. The winter months, specifically from November to February, are particularly pleasant with a mild climate, making it an ideal time for wildlife spotting. During these months, the temperature ranges from a minimum of 5°C to a maximum of 30°C, which is comfortable for safaris. The crisp, cool air enhances the safari experience and this is also the time when you get to see a large variety of birds that migrate to Kanha.
However, for those who are keen on spotting the Bengal tiger, the summer months of April to June are highly recommended. It is during this time that the chances of sighting tigers increase as they come out in search of water. The temperatures during these months can soar up to 40°C, particularly in May and June, making the safaris quite hot and dry. Hence, visitors should be prepared for the heat. Despite the soaring temperatures, it's a great time for photographers and wildlife enthusiasts to explore as the animals are more visible due to the thinner vegetation and the scarcity of water. It is important to note that the park is closed during the monsoon season from July to September for the regeneration of the flora and fauna.
