Something Very Different from Kerala

  • It also has the white marble rocks of Bhedaghat on the Narmada.
  • From Kochi, fly to Jabalpur with one stop. Kanha is about 4 hours away.
  • You can also fly to Bhopal or Indore for temples and lakes.

All our trips are on the Madhya Pradesh tour packages page.
