For parents and senior travellers

Easy transfers to and in Kawardha

  • Hire a car with a driver from Raipur or Kawardha; public transport is limited.
  • Carry water, snacks and any medicines; facilities near the sanctuary are minimal.
  • Avoid driving on forest roads after dusk.
  • Ask the airline or railway for wheelchair or porter assistance when you book, not on the day.
  • Pre-book the pickup from the airport or station, so nobody has to negotiate with drivers after a long journey.
  • Choose arrivals in daylight where you can, and keep the first afternoon free to rest.
