Best time of year to visit:

All year round! But generally speaking, the most favourable period is from October to April.

The winter months, from November to February, are particularly excellent for birding. During this time, the parks receive numerous migratory birds from as far as Siberia and Europe, significantly increasing the diversity of species you can observe. The weather is also more comfortable for outdoor activities, with cooler temperatures and lower humidity. This period is ideal for spotting winter visitors like the Bar-headed Goose in Satpura or the Indian Pitta in Tadoba.

March and April, while warmer, can be rewarding for bird enthusiasts. As water sources begin to dry up, birds tend to concentrate around remaining water bodies, making them easier to spot. This is also the breeding season for many resident species, so you’re likely to witness interesting breeding behaviours and plumages. The deciduous forests start to shed their leaves, improving visibility for birding.
