About
Bandhavgarh National Park
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. It seems to be quiet. Life
appears to be dead. Leaves don't rustle! Water doesn't
trickle! Grasses stop to move! Even the wind pauses to
hold its breath and watch the drama unfold! Then all of a
sudden the Jungle springs to life! Langurs groan. Branches
of trees begin to swing under their springing jumps.
Fleeting hooves rustle the grass. Heavy bodies splash the
water. Spotted Deers let out the alarm call. Let it be
known - the King is here - "Hail, the King!" Lesser
creatures flee. The King sweeps a gaze over his Kingdom.
Period. Utter silence. The show begins.
The biggest attraction of this land is the Tiger and its
sightings. Bandhavgarh has a very high density of Tigers
within the folds of its marvelous Jungles. Probably the
highest in the world! 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. There is a saying about this
park that goes - " In any other Park, you are lucky if you
see a Tiger. In Bandhavgarh, you are unlucky if you don't
see (at least) one".
