Bandhavgarh
is a strange land. Flowing through a vibrant and luxuriant Sal
Jungle, the wind murmurs the songs of nature in the voice of
silence.
Deep in the state of Madhya Pradesh in central India lies the
Project Tiger park of Bandhavgarh.
The biggest attraction of this land is the White Tigers and its
sightings. The Bandhavgarh park terrain is a mixture of sal
forest and bamboo, dominated by a huge natural rock fortress
towering overhead. As well as the population of sixty tigers
there are sloth bear, wild pigs, gaur and samber.
Bandhavgarh park has a very high density of Tigers within the
folds of its marvelous Jungles. The 105 sq kms of park area, open
for tourists is reported to have 22 Tigers, a density of 1 Tiger
for every 4.7 sq kms.
Bandhavgarh is a National Park with a very long history. Set
among the Vindhya hills of Madhya Pradesh with an area of 168sq
miles (437sq kms) it contains a wide variety of habitats and a
high density of game, including a large number of Tigers. This is
also the White tiger country. These have been found in the old
state of Rewa for many years. Maharaja Martand Singh captured the

display in the Palace of Maharaja of Rewa.
