Umred – Karhandla Safari Timings
Just a short drive from Nagpur, Umred Karhandla Wildlife Sanctuary offers a calm and crowd-free alternative to the busier tiger reserves. It’s perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a quick escape into the wild without too much travel or hustle. The forest here has been quietly gaining attention for its rising tiger sightings and peaceful setting.
Safaris run twice a day—morning and evening—and the timing slightly shifts with the seasons. Mornings are usually cooler and full of activity, making them a great time to spot tigers, leopards, and other wildlife. Evening drives, on the other hand, offer softer light, pleasant weather, and a relaxed vibe—perfect for soaking in the jungle’s natural charm.
Note: Umred – Karhandal Wildlife Sanctuary is closed on monday.
