Set in the heart of Kipling’s India, Bandhavgarh is truly the best place for seeing one of the most endangered cats on the planet, the Royal Bengal Tiger. Mythology has it that Bandhavgarh was gifted to Laxman by his elder brother Lord Ram, the legendary hero of Ramayan, thus named "Bandhu-garh" meaning brother's fort. A beautiful combination of hills and meadows, dominated by the sheer massif of the Bandhavgarh plateau, the park provides one of the best, unspoilt environments for tigers in the world. You will have ten days exploring here by means of open jeep and elephant. Of the five ranges in the park, the 105 km2 Tala range will be the focal point of the tour.
