The Madhai and Bheemkund sides are roughly 120 km or more apart by road and approached from opposite directions — book accommodation on the side you will safari from.
Jamani Dev and Parsapani are buffer zones accessed via the MPT Bison Gate, not separate entry gates.
Safari permits are issued in the name and ID of each traveller by the forest department. Bring the original document — photocopies and photos on a phone are not accepted at the gate.
