Kuno National Park in Sheopur district, Madhya Pradesh, is the home of India’s cheetah reintroduction programme. Open grassland, dry forest and the Kuno river make it a distinctive wildlife destination.
Because it lies not far from Sawai Madhopur, Kuno can be added to a Ranthambore trip. We help with itinerary planning, taxi service, hotel options and safari booking support. Cheetah viewing, vehicle rules and park access are decided by the authorities and can change at short notice, so we always confirm the latest position before you commit.

Set the right expectations
Cheetahs here are monitored closely and movement rules can change. A Kuno visit is as much about the landscape and the conservation story as about a single sighting. We share the latest known conditions with you before booking so there are no surprises.

A common plan is two nights at Ranthambore for tiger safaris, then a road transfer to Kuno for a night and safari, followed by a drop to Jaipur, Agra or Delhi. We can customise the duration, vehicles and hotels.
Travel tips
- Confirm park status and safari rules a few days before departure.
- Pack binoculars, sunscreen and a hat.
