Bandhavgarh National Park at a Glance
Wildlife
A hotspot for wildlife activity, Bandhavgarh National Park boasts its own Big Five- Tigers, Leopards, Gaurs, Elephants, and Sloth Bears. As your guide takes you through the trails, wait for them to explain the intricate details of how some of the world’s most fascinating insectivores and colossal herbivores manage to thrive alongside these apex predators.
Vegetation
The unique vegetation of this mixed deciduous forest plays a very specific role in the ecosystem- while the evergreen Sal trees maintain the lush cover of green even in the most sweltering weather conditions, Mahua trees (indigenous to Central India), produce fruits and flowers used to make country wine – something that’s loved by herbivores and humans alike. These forested patches are interspersed with beautiful grasslands and rolling hills.
