Bandhavgarh National Park

Bandhavgarh National Park is a park with a rich historical past. Prior to becoming a national park, the forests around Bandhavgarh had long been maintained as a game preserve of the maharajas and their guests.

No special conservation measures were taken until 1968, when the areas were constituted as a national park. Since then numerous steps have been taken to retain Bandhavgarh as an unspoilt natural habitat.

The wildlife population of Bandhavgarh consists of leopards, chital, sambar, nilgai, chinkara, and jackals, more than 250 species of birds, and numerous species of butterflies and reptiles. But the main attraction of the park is the tiger.

Bandhavgarh has a high density of tigers and there’s a saying that goes: ‘In any other park you are lucky if you see a tiger, in Bandhavgarh you are unlucky if you don’t see, at least, one’.

The park offers jeep and elephant safaris.
