किन बातों से बचें

• ⚠Maharashtra vs MP Different Systems

  Pench straddles MP and Maharashtra. MP side books via MP Online (120 days), Maharashtra side via maharashtraecotourismonline.com (90 days). Different authorities, portals, prices, rules — verify which side your gates are on.

• ⚠Monsoon Core Closure (Jul–Sep)

  All Maharashtra core zones (Sillari, Khursapar, Chorbahuli) closed Jul–Sep. Only Nagalwadi (Surewani gate) and Paoni (Sillari gate) buffer zones open. Core zone wildlife experience not available in monsoon.

• ⚠Canter Spot-Booking Only

  Canter safaris (20-seater group vehicle) at Sillari zone CANNOT be booked in advance. Walk-in/spot booking only. Don't expect advance availability for group rates.

• ⚠Tatkal Waitlist Gamble

  Tatkal slots only materialize from cancellations 5 days before trip. Confirmation comes via SMS; until then, status unclear. Risky for fixed travel dates.

• ⚠Peak Season Competitive

  December–March (peak wildlife season + tourist season) books out quickly. Even with 90-day window, book day 1 for mid-Feb to mid-Mar dates.

• ⚠Mobile Phones Prohibited

  Use and possession of mobile phones explicitly banned during safaris. Plan offline communication; no emergency calls during drives.
