Bandhavgarh National Park

Set amidst the rugged beauty of the Vindhya Hills, Bandhavgarh National Park is one of India’s most celebrated tiger reserves and the park with the highest density of Bengal tigers in the world. Spanning over 1,000 sq. km, this legendary wilderness in Madhya Pradesh offers a thrilling encounter with the raw, untamed spirit of nature.

Once the private hunting ground of the Rewa royal family, Bandhavgarh has now become a haven for wildlife conservation and eco-tourism. The park’s lush sal and bamboo forests, vast meadows, and ancient cliffs are home to tigers, leopards, sambar deer, barking deer, wild boars, sloth bears, and over 250 species of birds.

The Bandhavgarh Fort, perched dramatically atop a hill within the park, adds a mysterious historical charm. Legend says the fort was gifted by Lord Rama to his brother Lakshmana — hence the name Bandhavgarh, meaning “Brother’s Fort.”

Safari enthusiasts can explore the park’s four main zones — Tala, Magadhi, Khitauli, and Panpatha, each offering a unique blend of landscapes and wildlife experiences. With its stunning scenery and high chances of tiger sightings, Bandhavgarh is a dream destination for photographers, nature lovers, and adventure seekers alike.
