ROYAL BANDHAVGARH
Brimming with diverse wildlife and verdant meadows, the Bandhavgarh National Park is known for one of the best sightings of the Royal Bengal Tigers in the country. Nestled in the Vindhya hills in Umaria district, the park not only showcases a diversity of flora and fauna but also has a rich historical past.
Once served as the game preserve of Maharajas of Rewa, it is here where the first white tiger, 'Mohan' was found by the Maharaja Martand Singh of Rewa during a hunting expedition in 1951. Thus, all the white tigers in the world today are considered the descendants of Mohan and are believed to owe their roots to Bandhavgarh.
The park also boasts around 37 species of mammals, and over 250 species of birds and is a favorite spot among wildlife and nature lovers for an immersive jungle safari experience in the Heart of India.
PLACES TO VISIT IN BANDHAVGARH
During your safari experience, immerse yourself in the other major attractions of the park. Start with discovering the awe-inspiring Shesh Shaiya in the Tala zone of the park, a representation of Lord Vishnu in a reclined, sleeping posture atop a seven-headed snake, Shesh Naag.
Situated in the rugged terrains and densely wooded valley bottoms of the park in the Tala zone, stands the historic Bandhavgarh Fort. Believed to be approximately 2,000 years old, the fort beautifully graces the landscape of the Bandhavgarh National park. According to popular legends, the Bandhavgarh fort was gifted to Brother Laxman by Lord Rama, as a gift to watch on Lanka. Hence the place gets its name as Bandhavgarh, a combination of two words, Bandhav meaning 'brother' and garh meaning 'fort'. Although the entry to the fort is restricted by the forest department, the fort stands as one of the crucial parts of the Bandhavgarh National Park.
