Bandhavgarh National
Park
Bandhavgarh National Park, 197km northeast of Jabalpur and 280km from
Khajuraho, is home to about fifty tigers. You have one of the best chances
in India to see a tiger in this park. Other wildlife include elephants,
wild boars, jackals, chinkaras, sloth bears, nilgais, sambars, porcupines,
gaurs, and about 150 species of birds. It is difficult to get here,
but most people find it worth the trip.
The park is named after the local fort. There is a temple within the
fort walls, and below it are rock-cut caves. You must obtain permission
to visit the fort from the park office. It is said that the monkey warriors
built Rama a fort on top of the hill here, so Rama could rest on his
way back to Ayodhya from Lanka. A four-wheel drive jeep is needed if
you wish to visit the fort.
Park Information
The park is open in the mornings and late afternoons, November 1 to
June 30. The park office is in the village of Tala, near the park’s
north gate.
The closest town is Umaria, 32km northwest. You can
rent a jeep at the park office or through a hotel for about Rs 650.
Jeeps enter the park from dawn to 10 am and from 4 pm until dusk.
Elephant safaris are booked at the park office near
the gate on Umaria Road and cost Rs 350 per hour for up to four people.
There are also watchtowers in the park. The one in Bhadrasila is good
for viewing gaur.
The park has a total of 437 sq km and a core area of only 105 sq km.
The park consists of rugged hilly forest and a few flat grassy areas.
The jeep safaris mainly go to the core area where the tigers usually
stay. A tiger may be seen and seeing deer is almost certain.
The best time to view the wildlife is between March and June when it
is hot (43ºC, 110ºF) and the tigers and other animals are
forced out to look for water. Although it is a better time to see the
wildlife, it is an austere time to be here. The electricity is often
out, which means fans and A/C do not work.
Bhaghela Museum
Located at Bandhavgarh Safari Camp, this museum contains items from
the maharaja of Rewa. Located here is the stuffed body of Mohun, who
was the first white tiger found in Bandhavgarh in 1951. The white tigers
that you see in zoos around the world are his descendants. There are
weapons and a swing made of silver and cut glass. Open daily 10 am to
3 pm and 6 to 8 pm. Admission Rs 7
