- Timing
- Bandhavgarh National Park has a high density of tigers, but their sighting is not guaranteed. Sometimes two tigers are seen during the safari, and in the next three there is none.
- Transport
- It is impossible to walk around the park on your own - only on organized safaris by car. Tigers have been used to cars since childhood, but they pose a serious danger outside of transport.
- Tip
- The overnight train from Jaipur to Bandhavgarh takes a long time. It is recommended to plan a vacation after arrival before the first safari.
- Tip
- During the safari, you need to be in a group and not get out of the transport outside the safe area. When moving around the park, stay with the guide.
- Tip
- Hire an experienced local guide and trackers to search for tigers. They know the habits of animals, tracks and alarm signals of reindeer herds, indicating the presence of predators.
- Tip
- Bandhavgarh Park is home to an ancient fortress within the park with a history of more than a thousand years and legends of divine origin. This place combines wildlife with history.
- Tip
- The Forest Service uses patrol elephants to check remote parts of the park where cars cannot reach. Elephants help control poaching and animal welfare.
- Timing
- Plan a minimum of three days to visit the park for a good chance of encountering a tiger, including several safaris at different times of the day.
