About Bandhavgarh

Bandhavgarh National Park is a popular wildlife reserve located in the Umaria district of Madhya Pradesh, India. It covers an area of approximately 1536 square kilometers and is known for its rich biodiversity, particularly its population of Royal Bengal Tigers.

The park was declared a national park in 1968 and was later expanded in 1982 to include neighboring forests. It is situated at an altitude of 800 meters to 1,078 meters above sea level and is characterized by steep ridges, deep valleys, and dense forests.

In addition to tigers, the park is also home to a variety of other wildlife species, including leopards, sloth bears, wild boars, deer, monkeys, and numerous species of birds

Every Season has its own beauty & charm that makes visit to Bandhavgarh National Park anytime during the season. Safaris in the core zones happen only from 1st October to the end of June, they remain closed during Monsoon. Although buffer zones remain open year around.

Winter Season, October to February is best time to enjoy the lush greenery of the park. Forest is completely green and offers a scenic background along with sightings. Animals can be seen roaming leisurely in their natural habitat.

Summer season, March to June, can be hot and dry, but it offers the best chances for spotting animals. There are very natural & artificial water bodies inside park, which are maintained periodically by the forest department. As the forest vegetation starts drying up with the summer heat, animals are obliged to come to these specific locations to drink water that increases the sighting chances

Monsoons are not that great for sighting animals but forest is most beautiful during this period
