Discover the legendary wilderness of Bandhavgarh National Park, one of Central India’s renowned tiger habitats. This carefully designed 3-night, 4-day safari offers five exclusive Jeep safaris, taking you through dense Sal forests, open meadows and dramatic landscapes beneath the historic Bandhavgarh Fort. With expert naturalists and drivers guiding each safari, the journey is centred around the search for the magnificent Bengal tiger, while also offering opportunities to encounter leopard, sloth bear, gaur, sambar, chital, wild dogs and an impressive variety of birds.
Rising dramatically above the forested Vindhya landscape, Bandhavgarh Fort is believed to be around 2,000 years old and is steeped in history, legend and ancient architecture. Local tradition attributes the fort to Lord Rama, who is said to have gifted it to his brother Lakshmana, giving rise to the name Bandhavgarh, or “Brother’s Fort.” Once a royal stronghold of the Baghela rulers, the fort and its surrounding forests eventually became part of a protected wilderness. Today, the ancient ruins stand amidst a thriving tiger habitat, where Bengal tigers roam the forests, grasslands and rocky terrain below the fort. The extraordinary juxtaposition of an ancient fort and wild tigers gives Bandhavgarh a distinctive character, offering visitors a rare glimpse of history and wildlife unfolding in the same landscape.
