good forest safari and book the slot early.
1. It is the oldest reserve forest in India and you can book a visit online. You have to take a boat to reach tiger reserve and then take gypsy to get into forest. You have a guide and a driver. They try their best to show all the animals possible. 2. It is a nature’s paradise and there are many scenic view and selfie points. Please follow instructions of guide and you shall be unharmed by any animals. 3. It takes 2-3 hours and shall see deers and white trees a lot but if luck is not on your side you will not see tiger. Another family which was with us in gypsy were able to spot the tiger pervious day in night safari. 4. It is a habitat of 52 species of Mammals, 31 of Reptiles and 300 species of birds, out of which 14 are endangered. 5. They take limited amount of people only hence you should book early and reach there by 6:30am. 6. You can stay at MPT resort where you will enjoy the lake and booking covers breakfast, lunch and dinner. We stayed at MPT Tawa resort which was 50km from the entry point of tiger reserve. 7. It is just 4 hr from bhopal and 1 hr from Itarsi.

One of India's best forests to visit
Mountains, Meadows, Backwaters, Dense forests, super rich wildlife, great birding experiences, incredible variety of flora... Satpura is a wonderland for a nature lover. Hidden away without the crowds of the big park, Satpura is a great place to spend a few days in the lap of nature. I am purposely not mentioning all the animals, we saw as Im a naturalist and not a Tiger Sight Seeing person... The amazing Bird life, plants and insects are more interesting .....Dont go for only if you want to seeTigers, as thats not guaranteed in any park except tiny Ranthambhore. Instead go for the experience of the jungle. It cant get better. Just 4 hrs drive from Bhopal and 1 hr from Itarsi station, its easily accessilbe. We flew in from Bhopal and stayed at Denwa. There are few hotels here so choose wisely.

Best reserve of our trip
The problem with most of the reserves we visited is they were too tiger focussed. This was NOT the case at Satpura. The game drives were much more sedate, so you were able to look and observe the wildlife. Where tigers, sloth bears etc were around you saw them, but there is so much more to wildlife than that. The spotters and drivers were outstanding and actually enjoyed, and were knowledgeable about, the wildlife... something that was definitely not the case in the other parks we visited, where they came along for the ride and took a tip at the end and did nothing to earn it. The reserve is absolutely beautiful, both in the core area and the buffer area. If you are visiting India put this reserve on your list of visits.
