Travel to Bandhavgarh National Park

Bandhavgarh National Park in Madhya Pradesh is a must visit on an Incredible India Travel wildlife expedition. Bandhavgarh National Park was previously the hunting grounds of the Maharajas of Rewa and was known for the sheer numbers of tigers shot for sport in this region. Maharaja Raman Singh of Rewa is said to have shot 111 tigers at Bandhavgarh before 1914. Even today Bandhavgarh National Park is of great interest to conservationists because of it has the maximum density of tigers among all the national parks of India.

The albino or white tiger was first seen in Bandhavgarh National Park. The most well known white tiger called Mohan was captured here in 1951. Many of the white tigers in the world today are the descendants of Mohan. The Maharaja of Rewa's palace displays the stuffed body of Mohan, so visitors can see this handsome animal even today in Bandhavgarh.

Some of the other animals that tourists can see on Incredible India Travel journeys to Bandhavgarh are Gaur or Indian Bison, deer, sloth bear, wild boar, monkeys, squirrels and mongoose. Many birds found in India such as woodpeckers, hoopoes, barbets, drongoes and tree pies are also commonly seen in Bandhavgarh National Park. The birds nest in the sal trees and moist deciduous forests and bamboo clumps in Bandhavgarh. The terrain of the park alternates between grassy valleys and hilly outcrops of rock. Other attractions in Bandhavgarh include prehistoric caves and the remains of Bandhavgarh Fort. Enjoy exploring the wildlife treasures of Bandhavgarh National Park with Incredible India Travel.
