Safari Guide

Summary

  • Sheopur, a historic city on the Seep River in Madhya Pradesh, serves as the gateway to the wild Chambal region and nearby Kuno National Park, offering a unique safari experience rich in ravines, rivers, and reintroduced cheetahs.

Overview

  • Sheopur, derived from 'Seep-pur' meaning 'town on the Seep', is the administrative headquarters of Sheopur District.
  • Situated on the right bank of the Seep River, a tributary of the Chambal, it lies just 25 km from the Chambal River, which forms the boundary between Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.
  • The city is linked by narrow gauge rail to Gwalior and acts as a base for exploring the Chambal Ravines and Kuno National Park.
  • The region's rugged terrain, carved by the Chambal and its tributaries, supports diverse wildlife including gharials, crocodiles, and the recently introduced African cheetahs.
  • Safari here is less about traditional tiger reserves and more about exploring a unique ecosystem of riverine ravines and grasslands.
