Inscriptions that date back to AD are still found on the walls of the Bandhavgarh Fort. The region of Bandhavgarh was an important territory under many rulers, among which the most prominent ones were the Chandelas of Bundelkhand, the Mughals and the Lodis.
It lost its political importance during the 17th century. These forests were designated as a National Park in the year and Bandhavgarh National Park was relocated. Today, Bandhavgarh is synonymous with Bandhavgarh National Park, which is popular for its high density of the Royal Bengal tiger population.

I have led countless tiger safaris in India, but probably only have half a dozen really good photos. So particularly when you see your first one, put the camera away. Firstly because you might not see another one and also, it is a deeply emotive moment.
The photo will probably be rubbish anyway as you will be sobbing or shaking, as you should be. And where there is a good number of tigers, other predators tend to keep a very low profile. Leopards are present in the reserve but they are very shy and quickly disappear in the forest. They are generally found along the edge of the forest close to human habitation where they visit villages frequently for easy pickings such as goats and dogs.
Wolves are another predator found in Bandhavgarh but their sightings are very rare, only a handful each year. They too, like leopards, are seen on the edge of the forest. Ask your guide and driver to stop for 10 minutes by a lake or stream, listen to the sounds of the jungle, watch the birds, and enjoy the beauty of the light coming through the forest.
So much more fun than just thumping along in a jeep. Our top Bandhavgarh Holiday. Tailor made: This trip can be tailor made throughout the year to suit your requirements.
