A couple of days at Bandhavgarh National Park provide a few encounters with the Royal Bengal tiger, a magnificent creature of the jungle.
This popular national park guarantees a few encounters with the Royal Bengal tiger, which – due to its relatively small area – boasts perhaps the highest concentration of the striped cat in the world, and, of course, more memorable sceneries of wildlife.
Apart from the showpiece tigers, Bandhavgarh’s ultimate beauty is the leopard – there are about 40 these creatures around here, compared to about 45 tigers. That apart, the 435 sq km park contains nearly 40 species of mammals including deer, wild boar, Indian bison, sambar, barking deer and langur, some 250 species of birds and several reptiles.
