Day 1 – Arrival in Bandhavgarh National Park
Once the hunting grounds of maharajas, Bandhavgarh National Park is now a protected haven with forests, rocky hills and sprawling meadows, dominated by the majestic Bandhavgarh Fort. Despite being a relatively small park, Bandhavgarh has the highest density of tigers in India, giving you one of the best chances to see this majestic animal in the wild. It’s also home to leopards, sloth bears, langurs and hundreds of bird species.
You’ll be staying for two nights in a jungle lodge located in the lush green surroundings of the park. The cottages are air-conditioned and feature a private veranda. The property also has a swimming pool and spa.
Day 2 – Morning & afternoon safaris
After breakfast this morning you’ll be collected by an experienced naturalist guide for extensive wildlife viewing. You’ll jump into a Gypsy jeep and head off in search of the majestic Bengal tigers. You’ll stop for lunch before heading out again in the afternoon. Asides from tigers there are many resident animals which can be spotted here, including nilgai, jungle cats, wild boar and hyenas.
Day 3 – Departure from Bandhavgarh
Today it’s time to say goodbye to Banghavgarh and head to your next stop. You’ll be driven to Katni train station where you’ll board the day train to Varanasi. Hopefully, you’ll have spotted some tigers by this point but if you’d like to increase your chances, you can add an additional night here.
Please note: The park is closed during monsoon (1st July to 15th October)
