Madhav National Park Park

Madhav National Park is a protected area in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh that conserves mixed deciduous forest and grassland habitat. It is managed for wildlife conservation and public recreation.

The area was set aside for protection in the mid 20th century and has since been managed for both conservation and recreational use, with park infrastructure added to support visitors.

The park is located in Madhya Pradesh, India, close to the town of Shivpuri and within reach of regional transport links in the state.

• Habitats and wildlife: The park supports typical central-Indian dry deciduous and mixed grassland habitats and is a local destination for wildlife viewing and short safaris.

• Book safaris or park permits in advance through the Madhya Pradesh Forest Department or official park channels - vehicle entry and guided safaris are managed and can fill up on weekends and holidays.
• Plan wildlife viewing for early morning or late afternoon when animals are most active; mid-day is typically quiet in the forest zones and roads get dusty.
• Avoid the monsoon months when many park tracks become impassable; check local forest office notices for seasonal closures and the latest road conditions before traveling.
