When to Visit:The best time for viewing wildlife in Kanha is from January to June, but Nov/Dec is also a fairly decent time for sightings. The Park is closed during the monsoon and post-monsoon period (end June to beginning November) when most of the Park is inaccessible as the downpour usually washes away portions of the road. The park is closed from July 1 to October 31 because of the monsoon.
