It is one of the largest wildlife reserves in central India and has been a proud Project Tiger reserve since 1973. For travelers starting their journey from Raipur, the park is well-connected via road, railway, and air \u2014 giving you flexible options based on your budget and time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Reach_Kanha_National_Park_from_Raipur\"><\/span>How to Reach Kanha National Park from Raipur<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_By_Road_%E2%80%94_Most_Recommended\"><\/span>1.

The highway via Rajnandgaon is smooth and well-marked. The Balaghat to Kanha stretch is the most scenic part of the drive \u2014 passing through dense forest patches before you reach Mukki Gate, where your jungle safari adventure officially begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Travel time: <\/strong>5\u20136 hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best for:<\/strong> Families, groups, self-drive travelers<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alternate Route (via Jabalpur): <\/strong>Raipur \u2192 Bilaspur \u2192 Jabalpur \u2192 Khatia Gate (Kanha) \u2014 approximately 350 km, 7\u20138 hours.

The <a href=\"https:\/\/kanhabooking.com\/blog\/gondia-to-kanha-national-park-route\/\">Gondia to Kanha<\/a> cab ride takes about 3 to 3.5 hours on a comfortable road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Option_B_%E2%80%94_Raipur_to_Jabalpur\"><\/span>Option B \u2014 Raipur to Jabalpur<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Raipur to Jabalpur train takes about 5\u20136 hours and connects you to the Khatia side of the park. Jabalpur is around 160 km from Khatia Gate. A hired cab from Jabalpur to Khatia Gate takes another 3.5 to 4 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Train Travel Tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Book tickets 2\u20133 weeks in advance during the Kanha peak season (October to March)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pre-book your cab from Gondia or Jabalpur before you travel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose a morning departure to arrive at Kanha by evening<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_By_Air_%E2%80%94_Fastest_Option\"><\/span>3.
