It is one of the best places in the country to spot tigers and is also home to a wide range of other wildlife, such as nilgai, sloth bears, jungle cats, wild boar, hyenas, and many species of birds. This compact park was originally the private game reserve of the Maharajas of Rewa, and the first white (albino) tiger was found here. It has a small hilltop fort inside a forested area, as it was the one-time capital of the Baghel dynasty. In the afternoon, you can relax after your train journey or you have an option to visit a hamlet in Bandhavgarh on a village walk. On this walk, you will meet locals and will see their simple homes, which are made up of clusters of mud cottages surrounded by lush, emerald-green forests, golden fields, and shimmering ponds. You can see the older members of the villages relaxing and enjoying hookahs, people busy with household duties, and animals being herded away to graze. The villages you pass through are a relaxing contrast to city life.

Set out for a morning and afternoon Jungle safari on a shared Jeep through the grasslands and forest of Bandhavgarh National Park. You’ll be accompanied by a specialist guide to help you spot as much wildlife as possible.

It is the only park in India to have barasingha, or swamp deer, which have been brought back from near extinction. After your drive, you’ll have the rest of the day to relax and explore at your own pace. Alternatively, you have the option of going on a walk through the villages of Kanha. During this guided walk, you’ll cross the Banjar River and will amble through a beautiful forest on animal trails to reach Chhapri village.

The day will be utilized in having morning and afternoon jungle safaris. Your first game drive will be at dawn in a shared Jeep and see the sun streaking through the foggy forest as you drive and listen to the wildlife waking up. Apart from tigers, keep your eyes peeled for leopards, Indian bison, sambar deer, blackbuck, and wild dogs. Return back to the hotel. After lunch, you will go on another game drive in the hotter afternoon temperatures. This is prime time to spot animals looking for drinking water in nearby water bodies.
