Nagpur to Pench Cabs & Tour Packages
Pench is unique because it is shared between two states: Madhya Pradesh (Home of Mowgli) and Maharashtra (Home of Tigers). Most tourists make the mistake of booking a safari in one state and a hotel in the other. Don’t make that mistake.
Central India Cabs is here to guide you. We provide expert-driven taxi services to Turia, Sillari, Khursapar, and Rukhad, ensuring you reach the right gate at the right time.”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What exactly is included in your Pench Wildlife Tour Package?
Our complete tour packages are designed for a hassle-free wildlife experience. A standard package includes your private AC cab pickup and drop from Nagpur (Airport/Station), your resort stay (with all meals usually included), the open Gypsy rental, and the official forest safari permits. You just pack your bags, and we handle the rest!
Which gate should I choose for the best tiger sightings?
Turia Gate (on the Madhya Pradesh side) is the most famous and historically has the highest density of tiger sightings. However, Sillari Gate (on the Maharashtra side) is also excellent and features beautiful bamboo forests. We can customize your package to include safaris from either side based on your preference and permit availability.
How far in advance do I need to book the safari package?
Pench is one of the most popular tiger reserves in India. Official forest permits for premium gates like Turia sell out very quickly. We highly recommend booking your package at least 30 to 45 days in advance to guarantee your Gypsy permits and preferred luxury resort.
Do you pick us up directly from Nagpur Airport?
Yes! The moment your flight lands at Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport (NAG), your assigned driver and sanitized AC SUV/Sedan will be waiting for you. We will drive you directly via the NH44 highway to your Pench resort.
Can I book just the Gypsy and Safari Permit if I already have a cab?
Absolutely. While we specialize in all-inclusive packages, if you are driving your own car to Pench, you can use our booking form to request just the Gypsy and Forest Permit arrangements.
Pro-Tips for Travelers
Mobile Network: Jio and BSNL work best at Turia. Connectivity is weak at Sillari.
Clothing: Wear earth colors (Green, Brown, Beige). Avoid bright Red/White as it scares animals.
Winter Chill: Dec-Jan mornings are freezing (5°C). Carry heavy woolens and gloves for the open jeep safari.
Cash is King: ATMs are rare near the gates. Carry sufficient cash for gypsy payments and tips.
