Bandhavgarh National Park is one of the best places in India to see the majestic Royal Bengal Tiger in its natural habitat. Your safaris take place in the early morning or late afternoon, when wildlife is most active, travelling in either a jeep or larger open safari vehicle with an expert naturalist. As you explore the park’s rolling grasslands, dense sal forests, and ancient hilltop fort, keep your eyes peeled for leopards, sloth bears, sambar deer, and over 250 species of birds. Every journey into Bandhavgarh’s wilderness brings the thrill of discovery and the chance to witness nature at its most raw and beautiful.
