Bandhavgarh – Into the Wild
Bandhavgarh National Park is located in Madhya Pradesh state of India. This park is among the best national parks of India where Asian tigers can be easily viewed. Bandhavgarh Hill, at the height of 811 meters above the sea level, is located at the centre of the park. This hill is surrounded by sloping valleys.
Bandhavgarh is a relatively small park but in the last few years this former game reserve has become one of India’s most prominent National Parks. The major reason for all the interest is Bandhavgarh’s high density of tigers, which roam the mixed forests.
While the main attraction is the tiger, there is a host of other wildlife. Leopards and sloth bears are the other two extremely rare animals, seen only by chance. Other wildlife includes spotted deer, samba, Langur and Red faced Monkeys, Jungle Cats, Bangal Fox, Mongoose, Striped Hyena, Bondicoot Rat, Asiatic Jackal, Wild Boars, Nilgai, Chausingha, Chinkara, Indian Bison and of course, the elephants.
The wild animals are not the only attraction in the park. Up the mountain there is a line of ancient caves, and a huge 10th Century statue of a reclining Vishnu.

There are many caves in the fort and in the hills adjacent to the fort. These caves belong to the prehistoric period.
