Set amidst the Vindhyan Mountain range in Madhya
Pradesh, the Bandhavgarh National Park is home to the
famous White Tigers of Rewa.
The park was a former hunting reserve of the royal
family of Rewa where once Maharajah Venkat Raman Singh
made his illustrious career out of hunting 111 tigers.
Bandhavgarh was declared a national park in 1968. The
landscape is a unique mixture of steep and rocky hills,
with flat tops and level grasslands in the valleys
below. The vegetation found within the Park is moist
deciduous forest with fine Sal trees and stretches of
bamboo.
Today, Bandhavgarh Wildlife Sanctuary is known for
having one of the densest populations of Tigers in the
country. Prominent among other wild animals are Nilgai,
Chital, Chinkara, Gaur, Sloth Bears and Wild Boar along
with some 250 species of birds. It is one of the best
places to witness the Tiger in action with the highest
density of tiger population for any wildlife park in the
country.
