4. What is the weather like in Kanha?
Kanha has three distinct seasons: a hot summer, a chilly winter and heavy rain during the monsoon. The cool weather sets in mid-October, with the end of November to early January being the coldest. The warm weather kicks in from mid-March until the monsoons arrive in June. Day and nighttime temperatures tend to vary greatly, with mornings and evenings being pleasant throughout the year. Winter temperatures range from 5 to 20 degrees Celsius and summer temperatures range from 18 to 40 degrees Celsius.

5. How to pack for a safari holiday here?
No matter the weather, it is best to carry full pants and full-sleeved shirts in earth colours, along with sensible walking shoes. These will serve you in the winter and summer and help ward off dust and insects. Since the temperatures between dawn and midday vary a great deal, it is advisable to dress in layers that one can peel off as the sun gets warmer. Hats, caps and sunscreen are a must.
