Bandhavgarh National Park :India February 10, 2006
A wildlife retreat, where history and nature meet, Bhandavgarh National Park is not far from Kanha. Set amidst the Vindhyan ranges, the park has a series of ridges running through it. Initially just 105.40 sq km in area, Bandhavgarh with 25 resident tigers, was noted for its high density tiger population. Today, it has been extended to an area of 437 sq km. About half the park is covered with fine stands of sal, while mixed forests are found in the higher reaches of the hills. Stretches of bamboo and grasslands extend to the north. The main viewing area is still in the core of the park with its 32 picturesque, wooded hills.
The thick forest of Bandhavgarh National Park sits in a bowl encircled by cliffs and wooded Vindhyan mountains, and its plains have a number of grass and reed covered wetlands where Kingfishers dive and Egrets sit poised, hunch-backed, in the shallows. Up above, vultures nestle in holes in the sheer cliffs.
Bandhavgarh National Park lays in Madhaya Pradesh covers an area of 450 sq. kms and is known for the highest density of tiger population in India. The tigers and leopards at Bandhavgarh attract several adventure seekers and wildlife freaks. The home of the white tiger Bandhavgarh National Park is for sure one of the most important wildlife preserves in India.
