Madhya Pradesh govt launches new viewing buses for tourist sites

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Monday flagged off 10 new viewing canter buses from Panna National Park, to enable tourists to enjoy a more convenient and thrilling jungle safari experience.

The Madhya Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation has taken a significant step towards enhancing tourism facilities in various national parks of the state by introducing 10 new comfortable viewing canter buses for jungle safaris. Each canter bus has the capacity to accommodate 19 tourists at a time.

These buses are longer and taller than other safari vehicles, providing tourists with better viewing opportunities and a more comfortable travel experience.

These buses are considered safer for children and senior citizens. Their increased height and length offer more space and comfort during travel.

For children and senior citizens, these buses will provide a safe and unique safari experience. From these buses, tourists will not only be able to view wildlife more clearly but will also enjoy a pleasant and memorable jungle safari.

The operation of 10 new viewing canter buses will be highly beneficial for tourists. Even without online booking, tourists will not be deprived of experiencing a jungle safari. Early filling of online slots often caused inconvenience, preventing tourists from enjoying the safari even after reaching the national park. This inconvenience will now be eliminated.

With the launch of these new canter buses, tourists can now book their safari directly at the entry gate of the national park. They will no longer be dependent only on online booking.

To enjoy a jungle safari on these vehicles, tourists will need to pay a fee of approximately ₹1150 to ₹1450 per person per round.

These 10 new canter buses will be operated in major national parks and tourist destinations of the state, such as Bandhavgarh, Kanha, Pench, Panna, Parsili (Sidhi), and other national parks and tourist sites for the convenience of visitors.
