Bandhavgarh National Park
Stretching over 437 Sq. Kilometers with a core area of 105 Sq. Kilometers, this dense forest, once the hunting preserve of the Maharaja of Rewa, is known to the world as the home of the Big Cats. Over 90 Bengal tigers reign over this area making it the most densely populated tiger abode in the entire subcontinent. Tigress ‘Sita’, of National Geographic fame, is one of the many celebrity cats from this jungle.
Needless to say, Bandhavgarh National Park is the best place to view tigers in the wild. But apart from that, here you could also bump into a host of other animals such as deer, sloth bear, leopard, four horned antelope, Indian bison and wolf, along with hundreds of types of birds including black ibis, Egyptian vulture and whistling teal. And if you step out of the wilderness, you could also visit 10th century cave, Bari Gufa, an ruined fort and an ancient statue of Lord Vishnu.
