Introduction to city Bandhavgarh - In Madhya Pradesh
If Kanha is Kipling’s country, then Bandhavgarh is the
jewel in Madhya Pradesh’s crown. Situated at a distance
of 195 km from Jabalpur and 225 km from Khajuraho, the Bandhavgarh
National Park is a premier wildlife preserve in the Vindhya
mountain range of Central India. It is a tiny park compared
to Kanha but with nearly the same number of tigers and leopards,
or at least that is the official figure. Besides tigers
and leopards, Bandhavgarh is also extremely productive for
medium-sized bison herds. Bandhavgarh came into existence
as a national park in 1968 with a core area of 105 sq. km,
which was later extended to include two adjoining sal forests
in 1986. Before becoming a national park, it was the game
reserve of the Maharajas of Rewa. But due to loss of royal
patronage, it remained neglected for a long time until the
government declared it a national park to control rampant
poaching in the area.

Bandhavgarh has the highest density of tigers among all
reserves in India and packs the same wealth of wildlife
in a smaller area. It is famous as the original home of
the white (albino) tiger, though this rare species has long
become extinct here. Apart from tigers, Bandhavgarh is also
famous for sloth bear, sambar, chital, muntjac, nilgai,
chinkara, and wild pigs. There are also interesting
cave shrines scattered around the park, with Brahmi inscriptions
dating from the first century B.C. You can visit the remains
of the Bandhavgarh fort believed to be 2,000 years old.
