Madhya Pradesh State Tourism Development Corporation (MPSTDC) would be introducing 12-seater vehicles in Kanha, Pench and Bandhavgarh National parks under the Project Tiger for attracting more tourists and encouraging tourism in the State.
At present MPSTDC is providing six-seater open vehicles for tourists, but based on the past experienced need for vehicle with higher seating capacity was always felt and it was decided to introduce 12 seater vehicles.
The 12-seater vehicle could carry 12 tourist excluding driver and guide. Three vehicles in Kanha National Park, one vehicle in Pench National Park and two vehicles in Bandhavgarh National Park. Currently, tourist are provided with six-seater vehicle which constrains the number of passengers and tourist visiting these parks with their families and friends were used to ride in separate vehicles.
With the introduction of 12 seater vehicles the number of tourist visiting and enjoying the ride would become double at the national parks. The height of the 12 seater vehicles would be greater than the six seater vehicles for providing a better view and experience to the tourists.
