About
Bandhavgarh National Park
Bandhavgarh National Park is one of the best places
to see and enjoy wildlife in India. The Reserve is named after the highest
hill Bandhavgarh (807 m.) in the centre of the Reserve. A chain of smaller
hills, 32 in all, surrounds this hill, forming a number of valleys and
spurs in between. This park was the former hunting preserve of the Maharaja
of Rewa and at present is a famous natural hub for White Tigers. White
Tigers, now a major attraction around the world's zoos, were first discovered
in Rewa, not far from here. The terrain is broken, with rocky hill ranges,
running roughly east west, interspersed with grassy swamps and forested
valleys. The rivers Johilla and Son flowing on the eastern side, the river
Umrar passing through the western fringes and the Bandhavgarh hill, visible
from as far as 30 km., are some of the landmarks of the Reserve.
Much of the park is covered in Sal forest, replaced by mixed forests in
the higher elevations of the hills. There are extensive strands of bamboo,
which flowered in 1984-85, and grasslands. Generally the forests have
less undergrowth here, thus offering better sightings of wildlife, notably
mammals, including the daylight sightings of Tigers in the grassy 'maidans'.
More than 25 Tigers are estimated for the park. |
