Kisli Zone
किसली ज़ोन
A safari zone around Kisli Gate in the north of the reserve, with a mix of hills and grasslands and abundant deer, wild boar, and birds. It is the closest zone to Jabalpur.
The Kisli Zone is in the northwest of the reserve, right next to Khatia Gate. It is the most convenient way into Kanha from Jabalpur (about 160 km), and it has the most hotels outside the gate. The terrain is undulating, with spotted deer, sambar, langurs, and tigers that often appear here. Safaris can also venture into the meadows of the Kanha zone. Landmarks in the zone include Rapsi's Tomb. Safari permits must be booked online in advance, and your passport will be checked at the entrance.
Opening hours
Morning session approx. 06:00–11:00; afternoon session approx. 15:00–18:00
