Overview
Bandhavgarh National Park, located in the Umaria district of Madhya Pradesh, is internationally renowned as one of the best places in the world to spot the elusive Bengal Tiger. Once a massive game reserve for the Maharajas of Rewa, the park's compact area and diverse landscape—encompassing rocky hills, dense forest, and grass meadows—contribute to its remarkably high density of tigers and other predators. The park's name translates to "Brother's Fort," referring to the ancient Bandhavgarh Fort that dominates the park's central plateau, adding a layer of historical mystique to the wild ecosystem.
The core focus of any tour here is the safari experience, providing visitors with thrilling opportunities for wildlife viewing, photography, and birdwatching. Beyond tigers, the park is home to a rich variety of mammals, including leopards, sloth bears, various species of deer (Sambar and Spotted), and langurs. The conservation efforts here are exemplary, ensuring a pristine natural environment where visitors can observe the incredible biodiversity and the dramatic scenery of the Vindhya range.
Bandhavgarh is famous for having one of the highest densities of Bengal tigers in the world.
