MP CM Mohan Yadav flags off 10 new Canter buses at Panna National Park

MP CM Mohan Yadav launches 10 new canter buses at Panna National Park, enhancing tourist safety, comfort, and on-spot booking for jungle safaris.

"The newly introduced canter buses are designed to offer a better and safer safari experience to tourists. - Official Release"

Panna, December 8

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Monday morning flagged off 10 new canter buses from the Madla Gate of Panna National Park, enhancing safari facilities for tourists.

With the introduction of these buses, visitors will now be able to enjoy the jungle safari in a more comfortable and convenient manner.

Under the leadership of CM Yadav, the state has been continuously expanding its tourism infrastructure and facilities, according to an official release.

The Madhya Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation has taken a significant step toward improving amenities across various national parks in the state. The newly introduced canter buses are designed to offer a better and safer safari experience to tourists.

Each bus can accommodate 19 tourists at a time and is longer and higher than regular safari vehicles, providing better views and a more comfortable journey. These buses are also considered safer for children and senior citizens, offering them enhanced space and stability during the ride.

Tourists onboard these vehicles will not only get an elevated vantage point to observe wildlife but also will enjoy a memorable jungle safari experience. The additional height and length of the buses ensure better visibility and increased comfort throughout the journey.

The operation of these ten canter buses will also benefit tourists who fail to secure online bookings. Visitors arriving at the national park will no longer miss out on the safari experience due to fully booked online slots. The new system will help to curb inconvenience for tourists who travel to the park and find online slots unavailable for the jungle safari.

With the introduction of the new buses, tourists will now have the facility to book safari rides at the national park entry gates. They will not have to rely solely on online booking. The price for enjoying a safari in these vehicles will range between Rs 1,150 and Rs 1,450 per person per round.

These 10 new canter buses will be operated at major national parks and tourist destinations across the state, including Bandhavgarh, Kanha, Pench, Panna, and Parsili (Sidhi), among others, to ensure convenient and enhanced safari experiences for visitors.

Good move for tourism. The price of ₹1150-1450 seems reasonable for a better, safer experience, especially for elders and kids. Hope they maintain these buses properly. Our national parks are a treasure and improving facilities will attract more domestic and international tourists.

While I appreciate the effort, I hope this isn't just a photo-op. The real test is in the execution. Will the staff be trained? Will the buses run on time? And what about the impact of more vehicles on the animals? Need to ensure eco-friendly tourism, not just more buses.

As a frequent traveler to India, this is great news. Madhya Pradesh's tiger reserves are world-class. Better safari vehicles make the experience more comfortable and accessible. Looking forward to trying these on my next visit to Kanha!

Finally! The old gypsies were so cramped. Taking my parents for a safari was stressful. This is a much-needed upgrade. Hope they roll these out in all parks quickly. MP is truly becoming the heart of incredible India's wildlife tourism.

Good step, but the pricing is still on the higher side for a middle-class family of four. Maybe they could introduce some discounted family packages or off-season rates? Otherwise, the experience remains a luxury for many Indians.
