Spread over an area of 437 sq km, Bandhavgarh National Park
is a compact tiger reserve and home to many other species
of animals and birds. Tours to Bandhavgarh National Park are
journeys back to the past glory of Central India when white
tigers roamed fearlessly through the forest; to the history
of the ruling Rewa dynasty; and to the tales from mythological
epics of India i.e. Ramayana.
Set on the Vindhyachal Range, Bandhavgarh was once a game
reserve for the Maharajas of Rewa. Home to 25
tigers, Bandhavgarh National Park was also known for its
white tiger population - the last of which is on display
at the Maharaja's Palace, stuffed and hanged.
Amidst the interesting mix of dense forests, Sal woods, bamboo
stretches and grasslands, the Bandhavgarh Fort is a
must visit on your tour to the Bandhavgarh National Park.
Located in the center of the national park at the highest
point, the Bandhavgarh Fort commands a panoramic view of the
entire wildlife reserve. You can visit the
Bandhavgarh Fort on your tour to Bandhavgarh National Park
on foot or by jeep.
The jeep track is an easy and comfortable ride through the
national park that allows you to study nature first hand.
The journey on foot is a tough one as the steps and steep
and winding. This, however, is the preferred route for the
worshippers of Hanuman who visit the fort every year to offer
their prayers.
Legend goes that this fort was built by two monkeys from
Hanuman's vanar sena (army of monkeys) and served as the resting
place from Lord Ram and Hanuman on their journey back Ayodhya,
after vanquishing Ravana.
The Bandhavgarh Fort in the Bandhavgarh National Park covers
an area of 560 acres of lakes, statues of Gods in various
poses and finely crafted walls and doorways of the
standing edifices draped in descending tendrils. You can see
also these structures on a walk around the fort on your tour
to Bandhavgarh National Park organized by Tourism of Central
India.
The old man for a guide has many enthralling stories to tell,
especially the ones regarding tigers that roam the fort in
the night, that you must listen and enjoy. You can also visit
the other three temples dating back to the 12th century on
your tour to Bandhavgarh National Park.
Besides the tigers and tiger tracks, you can also spot nilgai,
chausingha, chital, chinkara, wild boar, fox, jackal, muntjac,
jungle cat, ratel, hyena, porcupine, the rhesus macaque and
the black-faced langur on your ride through the Bandhavgarh
National Park. The diversity in fauna of Central India doesn't
