Distances
: Pipariya
station is best arrival point for Pachmarhi. However if tickets are not
available then Bhopal (200 kms) or Nagpur (250 kms) arei next alternative
options to arrive (by Air). Departure,
Jabalpur is best for Kanha (165 kms). However Jabalpur does not have flights
to Mumbai / Hyderabad etc. and therefore for those guests Nagpur (250 kms)
would be better. |
