Bandhavgarh National Park
An essential stop on any serious tiger safari, Bandhavgarh National Park is renowned for one of India’s highest concentrations of this magnificent animal. A relatively small park with a thriving tiger population, it offers guests a good chance of encountering the king of the jungle, as well as a selection of other exotic wildlife.
Cradled between the picturesque Vindhya and Satpura mountain ranges, Bandhavgarh boasts a breathtaking mixture of dense green valleys and rocky hills. Mixed deciduous forests and woodlands are interspersed with flat grasslands and serene waterholes. A network of spring-fed streams provides a water source for the park’s wildlife.
- The stealthy leopard, gentle spotted chital deer, four-horned chousingha antelope, wild boar, sloth bear and jungle cat are only some of the animals that inhabit this beautiful nature reserve.
- The park is also home to more than 250 colourful bird species.
- Rising abruptly from the plains, the highest hill in the park is topped by the ruins of the ancient Bandhavgarh Fort. Gazing majestically over captivating views of the entire reserve from its perch atop a steep cliff, the fort is accessible by an old pilgrim path. Halfway up the hill, a massive reclining statue of Lord Vishnu, god of wealth and well-being, lies in the shade of dense evergreen trees, with an underground spring bubbling to life at the statue’s feet. Vultures, blue rock thrushes and crag martins nest among the crumbling ramparts of the old fort.
