Bandhavgarh National Park Safari Trips & Tours

Want to spot some stripes? Head to this pretty, pocket-sized park with a thriving tiger population.

Recently the setting for David Attenborough’s Dyanasties, Bandhavgarh is undoubtedly one of India’s tiger top spots. Small by national standards, the park certainly packs a punch into its diminutive boundaries and is renowned for having one of the highest populations of the elusive felines in the country, narrowly pipping Kanha to the post. The terrain is a beguiling mix of valleys and boulders, deciduous forests and yellow grasslands, and is home to 37 species of mammal, leopard, wild boar and sloth included, 240 species of birds and 80 of butterflies, giving you plenty to look at as you scoot around in your 4x4. These smaller species are certainly not to be ignored either – more often than not their calls are the tell-tale sign that a big cat is on the prowl…

What to do in Bandhavgarh National Park

Tigers patrol ancient hunting grounds beneath a 2,000-year-old fort in this compact wilderness that punches well above its weight. This reserve boasts India's highest density of Royal Bengals, where sightings occur with remarkable frequency. Morning game drives reveal langur monkeys performing aerial acrobatics while spotted deer bark alarm calls at predators moving through bamboo thickets. The terrain shifts dramatically from rolling meadows to steep valleys, creating perfect ambush points for the park's apex predators. Beyond tigers, sloth bears forage for termites, Indian bison crash through undergrowth, and over 250 bird species flit through sal forests. The dedicated can climb to the ancient hilltop fort for panoramic views or discover the 35-foot reclining Vishnu statue carved into living rock.
