Often overshadowed by the nearby Kanha park, Bandhavgarh is 170Km
northeast
of Jabalpur and curiously reminiscent of a theme park.
Rocky hills center around
the ancient ruins of the 2000-years-old Bandhavgarh fort, which can be visited
as an afternoon tour separate
from the safaris (entry fees last all day, but vehicle
and guide
fees must be paid each time you enter the park). These
Sanskrit-scrawled caves below the fort can be unlocked for
tourists-the rest house tigers. The park has 60 tigres, with at
least half of those in the 67 sq.km tourist zone, creating one of
the heightest dentities in India. Given its relatively easy
accessibility from places like Varanasi and Khajuraho, The park has
been attracted an increasing number of tiger-seekers. As a result
,the small park can get quite crowded during peek season(Nov.-June).
There are accommodations near the park gate in Tala.
If tiger spotting is the only reason you'd venture into a
jungle, you need to Bad straight for Bandhavgarh.
This is one national park in which
tiger sightgs are almost |
 |
taken for granted, as the 448-sq-km
park is reputed to have the largest density of tigers of any park in
India. To ensure that you see the big cat, mahouts set out early in
the morning, track one down and ferry groups of tourists for a dekho
when the tiger settles down for a rest. If the fixed show is to tame
for your taste, you can opt for a two-hour elephant safari, in which
the guide does the tracking right in front of you. The latter may
not assure you of a sightings, but it's definitely more exciting.
In The Park
Bandhavgarh is famous for its Tigers, but it also has a good range
of other game. The best time to see the park is in the summers.
Visitors are advised, to book their own elephant in advance so that
it become easier to see the rocky hillsides and down marshy
riverbeds, which are not possible in vehicles and to wear plenty of
warm clothings if going for an early morning ride in winter.
As Jeeps can be heired from the Tiger’s Den resort. Entry in to the
park is allowed only during daylight hours. Chinkara, is also
available on the edges of the main viewing area.
Nilgai, Chausingha, and sounders of wild boar, as well as the jackal
or fox can be seen in the grassland. There are two types of monkeys
common in the park, the rhesus macaque and the black-faced langur.
