Sarhi Zone
सरही ज़ोन
A newly opened safari zone in the southeast of the reserve, with fewer vehicles and a quiet atmosphere, ideal for birdwatching and visitors who prefer solitude.
The Sarhi Zone is entered through Sarhi Gate on the east side. It has fewer vehicle permits than the Kanha and Mukki zones. The forest is pristine, and among the meadows and valleys you can see gaur, sloth bears, Indian rollers, and crested serpent eagles. Tiger sightings are less frequent here, but the area is never crowded. It suits visitors who have already explored the core zones and want to experience another habitat. Permits are also booked through the Madhya Pradesh Forest Department system.
Opening hours
Morning session approx. 06:00–11:00; afternoon session approx. 15:00–18:00
