Bandhavgarh National Park – A Wildlife Paradise
Bandhavgarh National Park, located in the Umaria district of Madhya Pradesh, is one of India’s most famous tiger reserves and wildlife sanctuaries. Spread over 1,536 sq. km (core and buffer zones), the park is renowned for its high density of Royal Bengal Tigers, making it one of the best places in the world to spot them in their natural habitat.
History & Significance
-
The name Bandhavgarh comes from the ancient Bandhavgarh Fort, believed to be gifted by Lord Rama to his brother Lakshmana (Bandhav means brother, Garh means fort).
-
Once a hunting ground for the Maharajas of Rewa, it was declared a national park in 1968 and later became part of Project Tiger in 1993.

Flora: The park features a mix of sal and bamboo forests, grasslands, and rolling meadows, making it a rich ecosystem for wildlife survival.
