Planning Tips
- Arrive via Gwalior or Jhansi — both are major rail junctions roughly 100 km away, making Shivpuri an easy addition to a central India circuit.
- Book park safaris in advance — if visiting Madhav National Park in peak tourist season, confirm permits and jeep availability ahead of time.
- Pack for seasonal extremes — light cottons for hot months, a sturdy umbrella during monsoon, and a light jacket for cooler winter mornings.
- Carry cash — ATMs and card acceptance may be less reliable than in metro cities, especially near the park and smaller establishments.
