Today we will enter twice to the national park for our morning & afternoon scheduled Jungle safari for its wildlife. Overnight stay at wildlife resort. Spread at Vindhya hills in Madhya Pradesh, Bandhavgarh National Park consists of a core area of 105 sq km and a buffer area of approximately 400 sq km of topography varies between steep ridges, undulating, forest and open meadows. Bandhavgarh National Park is known for the Royal Bengal Tigers. The density of the Tiger population at Bandhavgarh is the highest known in India. It was the former hunting preserve of the Maharaja of Rewa and at present is a famous natural hub for White Tigers. Bandhavgarh was declared a national park in 1968. Since then many steps have been taken to retain Bandhavgarh National Park as an un-spoilt national habitat for a variety of wildlife peculiar to the area. These includes gaur (Indian bison), sloth bear, leopard, porcupine, wild boar, sambar and spotted deer, among others and of course, the tiger.

We will continue on our tiger photography trips to the park. On one of our trip to the park, we will have an excursion to the Bandhavgarh fort. This fort is in ruins now but the strong high walls of the fort tell a saga of valor and splendor. The fort blends with the wilds of the park and has become a part of the park. No one knows when the fort was constructed but scripts as old as Shiva Purina have mentioned the fort which is believed to be almost 2000 years old. The park in itself is historically very important. The signs of early habitation can be seen in the caves excavated from the cliffs to the north of the fort. Brahmi inscriptions here date back to the 1st century BC. Overnight stay at wildlife resort.

Today after breakfast will enjoy birds photography or will explore the nearby tribal villages. Later after lunch drive to Katni railway station from here, we will board an overnight train to Agra. Overnight stay on board.
