Geography
Nestled amidst the picturesque Vindhya Hills, the park has been increased from its original size to include the lush surrounding Sal forests, a favoured habitat of the big cat. Since the inception of the park, its population has increased significantly within the protected area.
Sitting at an elevation of between 410-818m, the extremely diverse topography affords a wide array of habitats, including dense hilly regions, Sal forests, high altitude meadows, jungles, grasslands and more than 20 streams that eventually merge into a tributary of the mighty Ganges.
Enter the Tala Zone
Bandhavgarh is divided into three zones called Magdi, Bamera and Tala. An abundance of wildlife subsists in all three zones, but it is the central Tala zone that provides prime viewing opportunities on Tiger tours.
A Wealth of Wildlife
