About Bandhavgarh National
Park
The Maharaja's Royal Retreat, Bandhavgarh is owned by the
Maharaja of REWA (Madhya Pradesh, India) used to be the
hunting lodge of the royal family. More than just a jungle
lodge, Maharaja's Royal Retreat is a throwback to the
royal past with guests getting experience of Royal camps,
spacious living with decor reminiscent of the royal past
and cuisine right of the royal kitchen. There is also on
display rare collection of armoury and Books of the Royal
era.
BANDHAVGARH is very rich in forests and has the highest
density of tigers in the world. In addition to the wild
life Bandhavgarh also has a rich heritage. We have
evidence of human settlements dating back to 2000 years
old and later rulers from the Kalchuri and the Baghel
clans have left their rich culture for us to see.
Bandhavgarh has about 32 mammals, 250 birds and 72
butterflies.
It provides an excellent outlet for tourists looking for
adventure and wild life. This place is ideal for large
group bookings or conferences.
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".
