Kanha National Park is located Madhya Pradesh’s Mandla and Balaghat districts. This serene wildlife destination in central India is primarily known as an important habitat of the endangered Swamp deer, also known as Barasingha, and recognised as ‘The Jewel of Kanha’. The national park is treasured with a wide variety of flora and fauna species. Apart from the rich wildlife, the forest of Kanha National Park also boasts a few scenic locations.

The wildlife of Kanha National Park can be best explored by embarking on a jeep safari that can be booked via online portals. The core and buffer safaris of Kanha can be accessed by their respective safari entry gates.

The Ghurri Barrier safari entry gate is comparatively a lesser-known gate that opens to the Phen Wildlife Sanctuary, located adjacent to the Kanha Tiger Reserve. This entry gate lies near the Mukki and Sarhi safari entry gates. The Ghurri Barrier gate allows entry to the Phen Sanctuary both in the morning and evening slots. However, the Mukki Gate, too, provides access to Phen in both the safari slots.
