JEEP AND ELEPHANT HIRE
MPSTDC jeeps are available on hire for touring the park. Elephants are used for tiger tracking and should a tiger be located, the elephant can take the visitors to the site.

For jeep hire, see the MPSTDC Manager, at the Baghira Log Huts, Kisli and Kanha Safari Lodge, Mukki. Bookings for a morning run should be made the previous day. Please bear in mind that jeeps are not always available during peak visiting periods.

FOOD
Kisli has a restaurant and a canteen. The restaurant serves both Indian and Western food. The canteen is cheaper, serving reasonably-priced meals and snacks. The Kanha Safari Lodge at Mukki is served by a multicuisine restaurant. If boiled water is required, please ask for it specially (water served at the Lodge is generally filtered.) Cold drinks and beer are usually available.

INFORMATION
There is no facility for encashing Travellers' cheques at Kisli or Mukki- the nearest bank dealing in foreign exchange is the State Bank at Mandla.

	Daily bus service available for Kisli and Mukki from Jabalpur and back. Taxis are available for hire from Jabalpur, Bilaspur and Raipur. Vehicles are not permitted within the park after dark.

	February to June, although the cool season is much more comfortable and still very good for wildlife. The park is closed from July 1 to October 15 because of the monsoon. For those planning a visit, a stay of at least three nights is recommended in order to have a good chance of seeing the more elusive animals - although, of course, a brief visit will also be very interesting.

	Cottons, but bring woollen as well, as early mornings and evenings can be chilly, especially in a moving vehicle and in the cool season. Try not to wear loud colours.
