Bandhavgarh can be your first magical date with the big cat. Bandhavgarh National Park is among the few parks with large density of tigers. And precisely so wildlife safari in Bandhavgarh National Park makes for an exciting wildlife holiday. On an average stay of 2-3 days, you may surely be able to see a tiger crossing your way or disappearing in the woods. But then, be aware tiger sightings are purely conditional.

Besides the Tiger, other animals spotted in the park include Indian bison, barking deer, nilgai, wolf, hyeana, cheetal, Indian gazel, leopard, wild dog, wild boar, sloth bear and common langur. It is not only the animals roaming in the park that make Bandhavgarh a wonderful experience but a host of avian species add to the whole experience.

Bandhavgarh Fort: One of the major landmarks in the Bandhavgarh National Park, Bandhavgarh Fort is a must visit. Not much is known about the fort as no historical records confirm the origin of the Bandhavgarh Fort, though it is believe to be more than 2000 years old. The fort is located atop the Bandhavgarh Hill, from which the park gets its name. It’s the only area inside the park where you are allowed to walk on foot. In fact it is a tough half-hour hike on the hill. The road leads to the Shesh Shaiya, a large statue of Vishnu reclining on a seven-hooded serpent, located in a green pool of water.

The Caves: Besides the fort, about 35 sandstone caves that bear the Brahmi inscriptions in the northern area of the park are worth a visit. Many caves have figures of animals like tiger, pig and elephant. Badi Gufa, as the name suggests is the largest cave here. It has a broad entrance, nine small rooms and several pillars.

Baghel Museum:  Located near Tala Village is Baghel Museum, here you can see Mohan, the white tiger captured by Maharaja Martand Singh in 1951, stuffed and mounted. 
Timings 10 am-4 pm

Panpatha Sanctuary: Bird lovers can head to the nearby Panpatha Sanctuary, located 20 km from Tala. Ghapudi Dam, located about 10 km from the park is also a good place for bird watching.

Souvenir Shop: For mementos and souvenirs of your Bandhavgarh trip; visit the small souvenir shop at the entrance to the park in the Tala Range that sells books, maps and T-shirts.
