Khursapar Gate
The north-eastern entrance to Pench National Park on the Maharashtra side, close to the Madhya Pradesh border, with a good reputation for tiger sightings in recent years.
Khursapar Gate lies in the north-east corner of Pench National Park on the Maharashtra side, near National Highway 44 and the Madhya Pradesh border, less than an hour's drive from Turia Gate. Its routes connect with the forest on the Madhya Pradesh side. Tiger sightings have become frequent in recent years, and the gate's reputation among visitors is rising. Bookings are also easier here than at Turia, making it a good alternative when Turia is fully booked. Accommodation nearby is mainly camps in Khursapar and nearby villages. Booking is done through the Maharashtra state forest department website, with morning and afternoon sessions, and a guide is required. Vehicle and route rules follow official notices.
Opening hours
Two safari sessions, morning and midday; check the official Maharashtra state website
