7 Nights 8 Days Chhattisgarh Tour Itinerary
Day 01 Raipur Arrival and Local Exploration
Our driver meets you at Raipur airport or railway station and takes you to your hotel. Freshen up, have lunch at your own pace, and head out for the afternoon. Start with Purkhauti Muktangan, where Chhattisgarh's tribal homes, tools, and art are laid out across a large open campus.
Then spend an hour at Mahant Ghasidas Memorial Museum, which holds old coins, sculptures, and inscriptions from across the state. Finish with a walk by Budha Talab and a Chhattisgarhi dinner. Overnight stay in Raipur.
Day 02 Sirpur Ruins and Barnawapara Wildlife
Leave after breakfast for Sirpur, about 85 km from Raipur. This was a major center of learning and trade over a thousand years ago, and the remains are still impressive. See the Laxman Temple, one of the oldest brick temples in India, along with the Surang Tila temple complex, the Buddha Vihar ruins, and the small site museum. After lunch, continue to Barnawapara. Check in, rest, and take a short evening walk at the edge of the forest. Overnight stay in Barnawapara.
Day 03 Jungle Safari and Drive to Mainpat Hills
Wake early for a morning jeep safari inside the sanctuary. Dry deciduous forest, grassy clearings, and waterholes make this a good place to spot leopards, gaur, chital, sambar, and sloth bear, along with plenty of birds. Return for breakfast and check out. The afternoon is a long drive north towards Mainpat, so we add tea stops along the way. You reach the hills by evening. Overnight stay in Mainpat.
Day 04 Mainpat Tibetan Culture and Wonders
Mainpat sits at about 1,100 meters and stays cool even when the plains are hot. Begin with the Tibetan settlement, where families have lived since the 1960s. Visit the monastery, spin the prayer wheels, and try fresh momos at a local stall.
After lunch, see Tiger Point, Mehta Point, and Fish Point, then stop at Ulta Pani, a spot where water seems to flow uphill because of how the land slopes. Watch the sunset over the valley from Mehta Point. Overnight stay in Mainpat.
Day 05 Mainpat to Kanker Palace
This is the longest road day of the trip, roughly nine to ten hours with breaks. Start early, take your snacks, and keep your camera ready for the changing landscape. You reach Kanker by evening. If light remains, walk to the old palace area and see the royal buildings of the former Kanker state. Dinner and overnight stay in Kanker.
Day 06 Kondagaon Crafts and Grand Chitrakote Falls
After breakfast, drive to Kondagaon, the craft town of Bastar. Visit a Dhokra workshop, where artisans pour molten brass into clay molds using a method that has barely changed in centuries.
You can also see iron figures, bamboo work and wooden sculptures, and buy straight from the makers. Drive on to Chitrakote Falls, where the Indravati spreads wide before dropping about 30 meters. Take a boat ride close to the spray and stay for the late afternoon light. Continue to Jagdalpur for the night.
Day 07 Kanger Valley Caves and Tirathgarh Waterfall
Today is for the forest. Enter Kanger Valley National Park and walk through the Kotumsar Cave, famous for its blind fish and odd rock formations. Kailash and Dandak caves, depending on access and season, add to the picture. After lunch, visit Tirathgarh Falls, a series of cascades over black rock, with a staircase that takes you down to the pool. Return to Jagdalpur for dinner and a quiet evening. Overnight stay in Jagdalpur.
Day 08 Shopping and Raipur Departure
Check out after breakfast and begin the drive back to Raipur, around six to seven hours. We plan a lunch stop on the way. Once in Raipur, you have time for shopping at local markets for Dhokra pieces, tribal jewelry, handloom sarees, Kosa silk, and Bastar wood craft.
The driver then drops you at the airport, railway station, or your hotel. That closes your 7 nights, 8 days Chhattisgarh tour. Cave access, boat rides, safari slots, and waterfall flow change with the season and with forest department rules. We confirm what is open for your dates before you pay.

Three Ways to Plan Your Chhattisgarh Holiday Package
- The Wildlife and Nature Plan. More forest time. Extra safari slots at Barnawapara, early bird walks in Mainpat and longer cave and waterfall visits in Kanger Valley.
- The Culture and Craft Plan. Longer stops at Sirpur, Purkhauti, the Tibetan settlement, and Kondagaon, with a chance to sit with artisans and see how the work is made.
- The Easy Family Plan. Slower mornings, shorter walks, rooms on lower floors and extra rest between long drives.
- The route, vehicle, and hotel standard stay the same in all three. Only the activities and pace change.
How Your Day Runs
One driver and one vehicle stay with you from the first pickup to the final drop. Our drivers are local experts who navigate the remote hairpin ghats and forest routes daily, ensuring absolute safety. Check-in times are shared with each hotel in advance, so you are not left waiting at a gate. If you only need the car and not the full package, our Chhattisgarh taxi service uses the same setup, and we assign a sedan, SUV, or tempo traveller depending on how many of you are travelling.
How to Reach Raipur, the Start Point of Your Chhattisgarh Tour
By Air: Swami Vivekananda Airport in Raipur has direct flights from Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and several other cities. Your driver waits at arrivals with a name board. Send your flight details at booking.
By Train: Raipur Junction is on the Mumbai–Howrah main line, so trains from most big cities stop here. Share your train number and coach, and the driver will message you the meeting point.
By Road: Buses and cars reach Raipur from Nagpur, Bhubaneswar, Jabalpur, and Visakhapatnam. If you drive in, tell us where you will park, and we will sort the rest.
You can also start from Bilaspur or Jagdalpur if that suits you better. We adjust the plan and the price.
Best Time to Book Chhattisgarh Tour Packages
October to February: The best window. Days are pleasant, forests are green after the rain, and every part of this route is open. Mainpat gets chilly at night, so keep a jacket handy.
March to May: Hot in the plains, but wildlife sightings improve as waterholes shrink. Mainpat stays comfortable. Start your days early.
June to September: Monsoon. Chitrakote runs at full strength and looks its best, but Barnawapara and Kanger Valley caves are shut for the season, and some roads get slow. Pick this period only if waterfalls matter more than anything else, and keep your dates flexible.
Need to Know Before You Travel
- Carry an original government photo ID. Hotels, forest gates, and checkposts ask for it.
- Day 5 (Mainpat to Kanker) is the longest drive. Start early and carry motion-sickness tablets if you need them.
- The network is patchy around Barnawapara, Mainpat and Kanger Valley. Download maps and tickets before you leave.
- Carry cash. ATMs are rare in smaller towns, and many craft sellers prefer cash.
- Pack light cotton for the day, a warm layer for nights in the hills, and a rain jacket if you travel in the monsoon.
- Wear shoes with a good grip for the caves and the steps at Tirathgarh.
- Bring your regular medicines. Pharmacies are far apart on long stretches.
- Parts of Bastar are remote. Stick to the planned route and timings, and let the driver guide you on local conditions.
