Spread at vindhya hills in Madhya Pradesh, Bandhavgarh National Park consists of a core area of 105 sq km and a buffer area of approximately 400 sq km of topography varies between steep ridges, undulating, forest and open meadows. Bandhavgarh National Park is known for the Royal Bengal Tigers. The density of the Tiger population at Bandhavgarh is the highest known in India. It was the former hunting preserve of the Maharaja of Rewa and at present is a famous natural hub for White Tigers.
Bandhavgarh was declared a national park in 1968. Since then many steps have been taken to retain Bandhavgarh National Park as an un-spoilt national habitat for a variety of wildlife peculiar to the area. These includes gaur (Indian bison), sloth bear, leopard, porcupine, wild boar, sambar and spotted deer, among others and of course, the tiger.
Day 05-07: Bandhavgarh National Park
We will continue on our tiger photography trips to the park. On one of our trip to the park we will have an excursion to the Bandhavgarh fort. This fort is in ruins now but the strong high walls of the fort tell a saga of valour and splendour. The fort blends with the wilds of the park and has become a part of the park. No one knows when the fort was constructed but scripts as old as Shiva Purina have mention the fort which is believed to be almost 2000 years old. The park in itself is historically very important. The signs of early habitation can be seen in the caves excavated from the cliffs to the north of the fort. Brahmi inscriptions here date back to the 1st century BC. Overnight stay at wildlife resort.

BEST TIME TO GO ON A WILDLIFE HOLIDAY
It is a good lesson to remember that, on wildlife holidays, it is the wildlife that calls the shots. They tell us when the best time to go on a wildlife holiday is. If there is a sudden change in weather, for example, you might find that the most reliable wildlife sightings are suddenly rare. Or vice versa. However, you can rely on the expert wildlife companies to be up front with you about the marvels that await. African safaris will never disappoint, rain or no rain. Bears will always come out for salmon. And gorillas will, hopefully, always thrive in the mist.

About the Place-
Our
trip visit the best Tiger Park in India - Bandhavgarh National Park.
You get to spend enough time in the park to take in its unique ambience
and eco-system.
The emphasis of the trip are tigers certainly, but
also the many other wildlife species that are found exclusively in
Bandhavgarh National Park. We will do our best to get you in the best
game-viewing regions of the park at the time of the trip, in order to
maximize your chances for getting great photographs.
March and April
are excellent game-viewing months, as the water supply has started to
dry up by then, resulting in greater game concentrations around the
remaining waterholes. This in turn attracts the predators.
Recommended Equipment
For
mammals, a fast lens reaching up to 300mm would be ideal. Also, a zoom
is very handy in Indian conditions, where subject proximity can vary
(thus necessitating a wide variety of focal lengths) and the dust factor
makes it preferable to minimize lens swapping. For birding, you'll need
your longest lens - just like anywhere else.
