BANDHAVGARH is very rich in forests and has the highest density of tigers in the world. In addition to the wild life Bandhavgarh also has a rich heritage. We have evidence of human settlements dating back to 2000 years old and later rulers from the Kalchuri and the Baghel clans have left their rich culture for us to see. Bandhavgarh has about 32 mammals, 250 birds and 72 butterflies.

It provides an excellent outlet for tourists looking for adventure and wild life. This place is ideal for large group bookings or conferences.

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.
