Bandhavgarh National Park is
spread over the vindhya hills in Madhya Pradesh. It consists of
a core area of 105 sq km and a buffer area of approximately 400
sq km of topography varies between steep ridges, undulating,
forest and open meadows. The density of the Tiger population at
Bandhavgarh is the highest known in India.
The park is very well managed and maintained. Having seen all of
South India's parks, I feel the south can do well to learn from
MP.
There are 2 safaris per day Morning 6am to 12pm and 3pm to 6pm.
The guides are local people, they speak Hindi and if you can
converse in it, you are in for a treat.
The morning safari carried our breakfast, which is eaten picnic
style off the bonnet of the jeep at a center camp of the forest
while waiting for the tiger to be sighted by elephant.
