Kanha National Park in April
Madhya Pradesh, India
Go in April—tiger sighting odds peak as animals concentrate at waterholes, but accept that 4 a.m. starts and 35°C+ afternoons are non-negotiable.
Peak crowds
April is one of Kanha National Park's busiest months. The score rates conditions — weather, access, value — not how many people you'll share them with. Reserve open October–June (closed July–September for monsoon); crowds peak November–January for winter holidays and April–May for tiger sightings.
April bakes Kanha into a furnace — and that's exactly why the tigers come to you. Every waterhole becomes a guaranteed theatre.
The April story
Serious wildlife watchers know: April heat is the price you pay for almost-certain tiger sightings.
