The Tour

A captivating destination located in the Umaria district of Madhya Pradesh, Bandhavgarh National Park seamlessly blends nature and wildlife conservation, making it a favorite for nature and wildlife lovers.

This protected reserve boasts lush jungles that harmoniously coexist with ancient relics, most notably the historic Bandhavgarh Fort, which sits atop a hill in the center of the National Park.

Famous for its rich flora and fauna, Bandhavgarh harbors a healthy population of Bengal tigers, leopards, and deer, alongside a vibrant avian population. The landscape, featuring dense sal and bamboo forests interspersed with open grasslands and water bodies, offers spectacular wildlife sightings.

While the setting is mesmerizing, the real draw is Bandhavgarh’s thriving tiger population—its true claim to fame. Visitors from around the world come to watch these majestic cats in their natural environment, a shining example of successful conservation.

“The summer months are the best time to visit Bandhavgarh. The hot, dry weather offers the surest tiger sightings as the striped cats roam around looking for water, creating superb opportunities for wildlife enthusiasts. The tigers in Bandhavgarh are relatively comfortable with safari vehicles, unperturbed as photographers and visitors capture them on camera!” explains Harsha.
