Anshi National Park

A pleasant stroll in Anshi National Park is the perfect way to spend a winter evening. The cool breeze brushes past your skin while spectacular sceneries surround you. Anshi Nature Camp is a trekking facility located 3 kilometres from the park. There are a total of 4 trekking routes, all of which commence from the nature camp. The trekking routes include:

1. The first route starts at Anshi nature camp and covers Maingani village followed by Dodpoda Nala. The trek ends at the nature camp. The length of the trail is 5.0 km.
2. The second route starts at the nature camp, goes on to Anshi range office, followed by Nesar Temba. The trek then reverses back to the nature camp, covering an area of 10 km.
3. The third trek (and the most difficult one) heads towards Matgaon from the nature camp and coves Vaki Road and Chandkunga. The trek ends at Kadra viewpoint, covering a distance of 20 km. The beautiful view over at Kadra is definitely worth the trek.
4. The final route also covers a distance of 20 km, but the trek is much more plain sailing than the 3rd route. Starting at the nature camp, this route covers Matgaon, followed by Devvarman and Dam before heading back to the camp.
