Forum > Travel > What Is the Difference Between Core and Buffer Zones in Kanha?

Posted by Pench Booking on October 26, 2026

 

Kanha National Park is divided into core and buffer zones, and both offer a different wildlife experience. The core zone is the main protected forest area where visitors can explore dense forests, open grasslands, and wildlife habitats. Kanha, Kisli, Mukki, and Sarhi are popular core safari zones where visitors may spot tigers, deer, and other wild animals.

The buffer zone surrounds the core area and also offers exciting wildlife safari opportunities. Khapa, Khatia, Phen, and Sijhora are some buffer areas associated with Kanha. These areas have forests, villages, and rich biodiversity.

Understanding the difference between core and buffer zones in Kanha can help you choose the right safari experience for your trip. Both zones offer chances to enjoy nature and spot wildlife, but animal sightings depend on luck, weather, and animal movement. Before booking, check the latest safari availability and zone rules.
