Bandhavgarh– Family Tree of Tiger


Indian Tiger Safari would not be complete without an excursion to Bandhavgarh National Park. Known for the highest concentration of Royal Bengal Tigers and Panthers this Tiger Reserve is one of the best places to visit owing to its enticing forests and valleys.



This forest has a mention in several well known epics like Ramayana. Having been ruled by several dynasties like Kalchuris, Vakataks, Baghels etc and subsequently deserted by the last rulers in 1935; this national park brings before us a kaleidoscope of culture, architecture, natural habitat and a lot more….



The tigers present in the national park as of now are the grandchildren and great grandchildren of Tigress Sita and her and robust Tiger companion known as “Charger”. Some of the cubs were mothered by Tigress Mohini. Many of these embodiments of valor and confidence were killed in mishaps like poaching, electrocution, vehicle accidents etc and these have been marks of serious loss to Project Tiger; a special venture of Government of India to protect the tigers and other wild animals. They are christened lovingly as B1, B2, B3 etc by the forest officials and the most powerful one is accepted as the king of the forest.



The forest has its own tales, pretty different but engrossing ones as opposed to those of the concrete jungles and it is always worthwhile to embark on a Tiger Safari to know the nature closely.
