Why Choose Central India Cabs for This Trip?
The last 15-20 km to Khekranala involves interior forest roads which can be narrow and sometimes rough.
Experienced Drivers: Our drivers know these forest routes well and drive responsibly on narrow patches.
Monsoon Ready Vehicles: During rains, the area is incredibly beautiful but roads get slippery. Our cars have good tyres and are maintained for such terrain.
Safety First: Being an isolated spot, it’s safer to travel in a registered commercial vehicle with a verified driver rather than a private car if you don’t know the route.
Travel Tips for Khekranala
Mobile Network: Signal can be weak near the dam area. Inform family before you reach.
