Bandhavgarh National Park: A safari guide's tips on the best time to visit, permits, hotels

By Toshita Sahni

Nestled among the Satpura hills in central India is Bandhavgarh, a national park rich in history as well as wildlife. This famous tiger reserve in Madhya Pradesh gets its name from a legend. “Bandhav” means brother and “garh” means fort—it is believed that Lord Ram gifted a fort in this region to his younger brother, Laxman. The park has many sites of archaeological significance, but its glorious tigers remain the landmark attraction.

Prakash Dwivedi was born and raised in a village on the borders of Bandhavgarh. He has spent fourteen years as a safari guide, introducing people to the many charms of the forest he considers his home. Here’s what you should know before planning a trip to Bandhavgarh National Park:

What makes Bandhavgarh National Park special?

The increased tiger density of Bandhavgarh draws many enthusiasts from within and outside the country. The reserve is spread over more than 1500sqkm and boasts a population of over 120 tigers. Its terrain is characterised by hills, valleys, marshes, meadows and rivers—all of which shelter wildlife ranging from ferocious carnivores to delicate butterflies. Besides biodiversity, the park is also home to many legends and places of historical interest. Within the reserve, one can find Badi Gufa, a 10th-century cave carved out of solid sandstone, said to have housed armies in ancient times. Visitors frequent Three Cave Point, as the structure is known to provide animals shelter from the elements. It is also believed that Sant Kabir and Tansen have stayed in Bandhavgarh.

What to spot at Bandhavgarh National Park?

There are approximately 37 species of mammals and 250 species of birds in the park. The most commonly spotted mammals are tigers, leopards, sloth bears, jackals, and wild dogs. Among the three deer species found in the park, sightings of the sambar deer and the spotted deer are more frequent than those of the elusive barking deer. You will also find 300+ species of birds in the reserve, such as the pond heron, white-necked stork, coppersmith barbet, sarus crane, asian green bee-eater, scarlet minivet, and many more.

Dwivedi has many spotting rituals, but the most important one is to pay attention to sounds in the forest.

“More often than not, the behaviour of other animals will alert you that a predator is in the vicinity. For instance, a naturalist will tell you that deer and langurs tend to make a distinctive noise when they feel threatened. So, if you hear that particular call, you can predict that a tiger must be close at hand.”

What's the best time to visit Bandhavgarh National Park?

Safaris in the core zones happen only from 1st October to the end of June. They remain closed during the peak monsoon season, although the buffer zones are open year-round. If you are mainly interested in spotting animals and birds, summer offers you the best chances. With the heat, the forest’s vegetation starts drying up. Natural bodies of water inside the reserve are very few. Moreover, artificial ones, which are periodically replenished, lie very close to the safari routes. Therefore, animals are obliged to come to these specific locations to drink water—thus increasing the probability of sightings . As foliage becomes thinner, birds can also be spotted more easily.

On the other hand, if you want to enjoy the lush greenery of this majestic park, Dwivedi suggests visiting between October and February. He explains, “In winter, the forest is completely green and provides a scenic backdrop to your sightings. The animals are harder to spot but more at ease. You get to see them leisurely roaming around their habitat—it’s truly wonderful. In the summers, you only see thirsty, frustrated animals pacing in a dry jungle.”

How many safaris should you do during a three-night stay?

The guide recommends doing at least one safari in each of the three core zones so that you feel that “you have truly experienced Bandhavgarh”. Since no fences or barriers separate each of the zones, animals are free to move between them. Hence, visiting all of them gives you more opportunities to spot different species.

What are the safari slots to book at Bandhavgarh?

There are two slots in the day for safaris. At present, the morning safari is from around 6:45am to 11:30am, whereas the afternoon one is from 3pm to 6pm. These timings keep changing slightly, depending on the seasons and times of sunrise and sunset. According to Dwivedi, the morning slot is the best, because you get to spend four to five hours in the jungle. Not only is the forest a lovely place to be at that time, but the longer duration improves your chances of spotting the animals. Night safaris happen in the buffer zones from 7pm to 10pm. However, visibility is restricted to what the headlights of your vehicle can illuminate. Although it is thrilling to be in the jungle in the dark, don’t expect to get many sightings.

How to book a safari permit at Bandhavgarh and how much does it cost?

It is best to book the permits online via the Madhya Pradesh forest office’s  website . Dwivedi advises against doing it offline. A permit costs Rs2,450 for weekdays and Rs3,050 for weekends and festival dates. Safari bookings open four months in advance, and only a specific number of jeeps are allowed inside the forest per shift. Hence, it is important to plan ahead. Note that six people (excluding the driver and the guide) are allowed in one jeep. Children aged five years and above are counted among the six.

How to book a jeep and guide at Bandhavgarh?

Once you book a permit, you have to present a hard copy of the same to the forest department office at the Park. They will then allot you a jeep and a guide. The jeep charge is Rs3,000. Guides assigned by the department charge Rs480 or Rs600, depending on their category, G1 or G2. Dwivedi clarifies that there is no significant difference between the two options. Guests can pay extra and choose an independent guide to accompany them. For greater convenience, most hotels offer to handle all the bookings on behalf of the client and charge a service fee.

Which zones are the best in Bandhavgarh?

Unlike other national parks in the country, the formal zoning of the park is relatively recent. Before 2012, Bandhavgarh did not have different zones and well-established regulations. Today, it has three core and four buffer zones. Tala, Magadhi and Khitauli are the core zones exclusively used for safari activities. There are also four buffer zones: Dhamokar, Johila, Panpatha and Paljha. People from nearby villages tend to frequent these zones to collect timber and forest produce. Animal sightings are fewer in these buffer zones because the animals are driven away by human activity and movement. Nevertheless, safaris also take place in these buffer zones (except Paljha).

Dwivedi highly recommends the Tala Zone, which is also the oldest in the park. The Charan Ganga river flows into the Tala Zone from the famous Shesh Shaiya point. In the summers, many animals gravitate towards this natural water body. According to the guide, the natural beauty of this zone, especially during winters, is awe-inspiring.

Besides jeep drives, what else can you do at Bandhavgarh?

Hotels near the park arrange bird-watching trips, nature walks, tribal village visits as well as a range of adventure activities. Dwivedi suggests opting for a village visit. These are immersive experiences that give you in-depth insights into the culture, habits and practices of the locals. You may also get to learn about how organic medicines and other natural products are made.

Safari Zones in Bandhavgarh

Tala Zone: It is the oldest safari zone of Bandhavgarh and thus often considered as tantamount to Bandhavgarh National Park. Till year 2010, there was only one safari zone in Bandhavgarh, i.e. Tala zone and thus it created a unique impression in mind of wildlife lovers. Its name “Tala” is derived from a local village called Tala Village. Earlier it was a small village, located on the main road, connecting Umaria town to Manpur town-ship.

When Bandhavgarh village was not popular i.e. in early 90’s, Tala was unknown to the world but later with the gaining of popularity in wildlife tourism map of world, Tala village became an important landmark, referring to Bandhavgarh National Park.

As Tala was the oldest safari zone thus all the major Forest Department establishments like their office, ticket counter, interpretation center, police station etc. were established in Tala village, close to Tala entrance gate. Even now a-days, you will find a major gathering of people in this entrance gate. Famous Bandhavgarh Fort, Shesh Shaiya statue, origin  of Charanganga river is also in Tala zone. In comparison to all three core zones, the Tala zone is still very beautiful, photogenic and more green.

Safari Zones, cont.

Magadhi Zone:   is the core zone forest area of Bandhavgarh tiger reserve. It is just adjoining the Tala zone in the south-east forest of tiger reserve area. It is also referred to as Gate No. 2. After many years since the opening of Tala zone, Magadhi zone was opened for tourists to share the tourism burden of Tala zone and also to offer new forest area exposure to wildlife lovers, visiting Bandhavgarh. Just like Tala zone, Magadhi zone is also a popular core zone area thus tourists love to see this forest area. Famous Charger point of Bandhavgarh is also located in this zone.

Khitauli Zone:  came into existence after the year 2010. Before the year 2010, there was only one safari zone called Tala zone thus it is most popular among visitors. Khitauli and Magadhi zones were created later on due to which they are less popular in comparison to Tala zone. With the passage of time, they also gained popularity and now all 3 core zones, attractions majority of tourists, visiting Bandhavgarh tiger reserve. Khitauli zone is well known for Birding and herbivores animals sighting. Here prominently seen mammal species are Leopard, Nilgai, Spotted Deer, Wild Dog (Dholes). Regarding tiger sightings, which is undoubtedly the prime attraction among visitors, here summers are good in which tiger sightings go good.

About Bandhavgarh National Park

The lush forests of bamboo and sal will welcome you into nature’s lap as you enter the “brother fort”. The name “Bandhavgarh” is due to the presence of an ancient fort on the mountain. It was believed that lord Rama has gifted the fort to his younger brother and hence the name Bandhav (Bother) Garh (Fort).  Bandhavgarh National Park  is one of the very famous parks in central India. The beauty of Bandhavgarh leaves every nature lover spellbound.

Although  Bandhavgarh National Park  is a relatively small park, in the last few years, this former game reserve has become one of India’s most prominent National Parks. The total area of  Bandhavgarh National Park  is 1161 sq. km, with a core area of 624 sq. km and a buffer of 537 sq.km. It was declared as a National park in 1968.

The Baghels ruled the area for a long time. Later the Maharaja of Rewa declared the fort as his summer palace and the adjoining area as their hunting ground. Later hunting was banned and it was declared as a protected area. Today Bandhavgarh is a popular tiger reserve and has three different zones for safari and tourism named Tala zone, Khaitauli Zone, and Magadhi Zone.

There is a saying about the 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."

Charger, a tiger so named because of his habit of charging at elephants and tourists (whom he did not harm), was the first healthy male known to be living in Bandhavgarh since the 1990s, as well as a female known as Sita.

Charger once appeared on the cover of National Geographic and is considered the second most photographed tiger in the world.

Almost all the tigers of Bandhavgarh today are descendants of Sita and Charger.
