How to Reach Bandhavgarh
The brief
To reach Bandhavgarh, Madhya Pradesh: By Air: The usual airport is Jabalpur (JLR), about 200 km and 4 to 5 hours by road; regional airports at Umaria and Khajuraho also serve some routings. By Rail: Umaria (≈ 32 km) is the nearest railhead, with Katni a larger junction; we manage the road transfer to the lodges. By Road: The chauffeured drive from Jabalpur crosses forest and farmland; we build in comfort stops on the multi-hour leg. By Private Fleet: Our GPS-tracked vehicles handle the highway transfers; in-park movement is by the reserve's permitted safari jeeps with naturalists.
