Satpura N.A. & Bori Sanctuary can be approached from Panchmarhi. Pachmarhi is connected by regular bus services with Bhopal, Hoshangabad, Nagpur, Pipariya and Chhindwara, Taxis are available at Pipariya. Pipariya (47km), on the Bombay-Howrah main-line via Allahabad, is the most convenient railhead. The nearest airport is Bhopal (195km), connected by regular flights with Delhi, Gwalior, Indore and Bombay.

Churna is best approached from the eastern side from Pachmarhi. You can also reach it from the west from Itarsi via Bhaura and Dhansai. Itarsi rail junction is 75 kms from Churna while Pachmarhi is 60 kms away. Churna can also be approached from the National Highway by crossing the Tawa Reservoir in a motor launch. This perhaps is the better exit  from the park and is just a few hours drive from Bhopal.

You can also drive up to Neemghan through the Panarpani gate, which is close to Pachmarhi. For the 30 km drive you can get permits from the Panarpani gate. This is a day trip as no accommodation is available.
