Geography & terrain

Satpura NP lies in the Hoshangabad district of Madhya Pradesh, 60 km from Pachmarhi and 150 km from Bhopal — the walking park of the region, its 1981 reserve, the walking safaris and the Tawa river set on the Satpura's hills.

History & culture

The park's story runs with the 1981 national park era — the walking park of the 1981 founding and the 2000 tiger reserve of the Satpura, with the park's modern role as the safari stop of the Pachmarhi circuit and the home of the walking safaris and the boat rides and the 1981-era park; the park's history of the 2014 tiger count and the Tawa river and the caves of the hills, gives Satpura its walking character.
