Bandhavgarh National Park
Bandhavgarh National Park, located in central India, the state of Madhya Pradesh is one of the few sites
in the world where you can witness tigers and other wildlife in their native environment. Came into
existence as a tiger reserve in 1993, Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve is renowned for providing its visitors
with a variety of adventurous activities and a wealth of beautiful locations to see. If you want to
experience the enthusiasm of seeing exotic animals up close, such as the Royal Bengal tigers and
leopards, a safari in the Bandhavgarh National Park is one of the best things to do.
The tiger population is said to be at its highest density in Bandhavgarh, and thanks to the tremendous
efforts taken by the government and the staff of the national park, it has increased as well. As a result,
seeing tigers has become certainly easier than before. About 2,624 feet above sea level, the park is
perched atop a hill. From here, the vista is bizarre. You will be treated to stunning scenery of the
mountainous landscape and lush valleys of the Vindhya Mountain ranges while exploring Bandhavgarh.
This national park is concealed in the hinterlands of Madhya Pradesh, protected by a magnificent canopy
of enormous trees. It is situated not far from the reputedly 2000-year-old Bandhavgarh Fort. You can
tour this National Park to your heart's content, even if you aren't allowed to enter the fort because it is a
restricted neighbourhood.
