Located in the state of Madhya Pradesh and established in 1982, Bandhavgarh is a tiger reserve. Until recently it was a hunting preserve for the royal family of Rewa. This is where the famous Rewa white tigers were discovered.
Spread over 437sq. km with semi evergreen sal forests, grassland, bamboo stretches and mixed forests at higher altitudes, this national park is the habitat for tigers, leopards, Indian wild dogs, jungle cats, mountain gazelle, hyena, porcupine, langur and many species of local and migrating birds.
The chances of seeing a tiger are very bright in this park. Tours on elephant backs are available in the park. The best time to visit the park is from November through June. The park will be closed during monsoon and most of the animals seek refuge in the dense forest from heavy rain.
The nearest railway station is in Umaira about 30km from the park. Accommodation could be arranged at the forest rest house or at Bandhavgarh Jungle Camp.
