Overview
Tour overview
Bandhavgarh with its celebrity tigers has been featured in a number of wildlife documentaries from time to time. Whether you watched them or not, this is the greatest opportunity to explore one of the topmost tiger reserves in India. Borrowing its name from the historical fort perched over the park’s highest peak, it is home to several other animals like leopard, sloth bear, hyena, jungle cat, sambar, spotted deer, gaur and an impressive bird population as well. As per the guidelines of National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), tiger reserves across India have their declared core zones and buffer zones.For the understanding of a layman, Core Zones are the internal areas of the National park that share their boundaries with the outer buffer zones. On the other hand the buffer zones share their outer boundaries with areas of mixed land. These zones are further divided into Safari Zones in each National Park. Talking about Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve, Tala (the premium zone), Magdhi and Khitauli are the safari zones, each offering mind-blowing experience of spotting tigers in the wild. Particularly, Tala, which has several water bodies is known for tiger sightings specially during the summer months when the tigers are spotted near these water spots. Bandhavgarh National Park is also adorned with ancient caves and historical structures that make it a popular heritage destination as well. Get ready for an expedition that you would cherish throughout the life by booking Bandhavgarh Safari package.
