Even in the buffer
Due to the ever-increasing crowd of tourists, the buffer of all Tiger Reserves has also doubled. Tourists who do not come by booking online have to face trouble for permits. In such a situation, tourists who have reached the Tiger Reserve without getting the permission of the core, remove the frustration of their family members by taking a safari in the buffer itself. However, the journey of buffer in Bandhavgarh, Kanha, Pench, and Panna is no less interesting. In Bandhavgarh and Kanha, tourists are getting to see tigers even in the buffer.
Tourists are happy in the hotel
Tourists arriving in the hope of safaris without booking are either traveling in the buffer or trying to keep the family happy in the hotel itself. However, some hoteliers have also arranged for tourists to visit the local tourist areas of Umaria district. Under this arrangement, tourists are also going to visit places like Tummi, Madhiwah, Jhojha Falls located in Ghunghuti forest of Umaria district.
